Personally we don’t send our kids to in person school unless they have specially made bullet proof clothing. Though Imo we are a net and guidance when they need it. Support them with the materials they need but let them explore and become who they wish to be.

What I’m about to say is extremely controversial. Though I study psychology, sociology and developmental biology.

Also this is really important when your kids get around middle school sit them down and have a discussion about safety within relationships of multiple types and drugs they may hear about. There’s way too many kids dying from fentanyl or ruining their lives with an unwanted pregnancy. Coming from someone who when they was 5th grade almost having sex then having it around 7th on. I had no access to condoms and had a pregnancy scare. Also started weed at 6th grade but had nowhere safe to get it. Also please please let your kids know if they need to picked up from a part for whatever reason. You will be there!
