Had a parent-teacher conference this morning
My wife told me not to come
I came anyway
She said "please just listen and nod"
I said "I always listen"
She said "you listen like you're sitting in a boardroom looking for something to challenge"
That's how listening works
Nice classroom
Small chairs
I am 6'4" and was seated at a desk designed for someone who still believes in Santa Claus
My knees touched my chest
The teacher introduced herself
Shared her identified pronouns
I shared my identified adjectives
Smart and handsome
My wife closed her eyes
The teacher had a folder
Color-coded tabs
I respected the organization
She said our son is "a pleasure to have in class"
My wife smiled
I waited
That sentence is never the whole report
It's the executive summary before the risk section
She said "however"
There it is
She said he "asks a lot of questions"
I said "good"
She said "during quiet time"
I said "when is quiet time?"
She said "it's when students are expected to work independently and in silence"
I said "so he's the only one trying to get information and you've structured the environment to prevent it?"
My wife put her hand on my arm
I continued
The teacher said he recently told another student that "sharing pencils doesn't make sense if nobody brings their own"
I said "that's an accurate observation"
My wife squeezed harder
The teacher said she's concerned about his "resistance to group activities"
I said "he's not resistant. He just doesn't see the value of doing more work for the same grade."
The teacher said he also corrected her math on the whiteboard
I said "was he right?"
She paused
She said "that's not the point"
I said "it's a little bit the point"
My wife stood up
Sat back down
Compromise
The teacher pulled out an evaluation sheet
Categories like "works well with others" and "follows directions" and "respects classroom norms"
All subjective
Not a number on the page
I asked how these are graded
She said "based on observation"
I said "so one person's opinion with no second review?"
She said "it's professional judgment"
I said "my auditors say that too. Right before I disagree with them."
She looked at my wife
My wife said "I'm sorry about him"
I said "I'm sitting right here"
My wife said "I know"
The teacher said overall he's a bright kid and she just wants to make sure he learns to "collaborate"
I said "collaboration is important. But so is recognizing when you're the only one doing the work. He'll learn that again in college. And again in the real world. Might as well start now."
Nobody spoke
The teacher closed her folder
She said "I think we've covered everything"
I said "one more thing"
She braced herself
I said "his reading is above grade level. His math is strong. He asks hard questions and corrects mistakes when he sees them. I just want to make sure this school knows what it has."
The teacher looked at me differently
My wife looked at me differently
I said "that's all"
We left
In the car my wife was quiet
Then she said "he's turning into you"
I said "is that a good thing?"
She didn't answer
From the backseat he said "dad, why does the teacher count off for asking questions? Isn't that the whole point of school?"
I looked at my wife
She looked out the window
I said "yes. It is."
He said "I don't think she likes when I'm right"
I didn't say anything
Neither did my wife
Small chairs
Color-coded tabs
No follow-up items
But the kid's going to be fine

The code of the simulation was changed during lockdown.
As you stayed in your house, staring at the same unchanged walls - the entire outside world was re written and a new version of the simulation was uploaded.
Your spirit can not connect with this new world as its different from the one you were born in.
This is why nothing feels real.
Even massive catastrophe barely registers in your soul because this world isnt yours, youre not from it and you literally can not connect with it.
Your permanently online trying to understand whats happening, and the constant pervasive anxiety which you believe comes from world events that you barely even see, is actually from the disconnect between your life force and the simulated world you're forced to observe.
Its a play your observing.
And no matter how you try to take part - you cant.
🚨MAJOR BEAKING
BC PREMIER EBY WAS PRESENT FOR THE SIGNING OF THE SECRET MUSQUEAM TRIBE DEAL that encompasses Vancouver
after first saying he "wasn't briefed" - Chek News
he says he does not KNOW what is in the deal!
DIG, DIG! THIS ONE IS NUCLEAR GUYS!
I think David Eby is the most rabidly ideological, dangerously unhinged politician Canada has ever endured.....period.
A hardcore radical leftist zealot whose Marxist fever dreams are gutting the province. His obsession with UNDRIP exposes his hypocritical extremism. He rammed through his own "reconciliation" virtue-signaling law, then flips out and rushes amendments when courts actually enforce it, trashing rulings as "unhelpful" or "toxic" overriding judicial independence, and betraying First Nations who co-developed it.
Even the natives are restless. Over 100 Indigenous leaders and groups rage against his warp speed gutting of protections, warning it'll spark protests, lawsuits, economic chaos, and decades of setbacks.
This isn't leadership, it's ideological sabotage, weaponizing reconciliation then shredding it for political convenience.
Tie that to his cozy, conflicted China ties. Eby downplays Beijing's threats while fentanyl precursors flood from CCP-linked sources, devastating BC with overdoses. He skips China on trade missions to "diversify " yet critics slam him for soft-pedaling retaliation on Chinese EVs/steel while whining about U.S. tariffs.
Chinese election interference got him elected. This radical leftist bows to woke UNDRIP dogma one minute, caves to economic fears the next, all while letting Chinese influence erode sovereignty and fuel a deadly addiction crises.
He's not governing, he's imposing a toxic ideology that's bankrupting BC, dividing communities, and selling out to globalist radicals.
I always thought my BC neigbours were radical, but even I feel sorry for them. They're being led down a destructive path that won't be reversible.
RFK Jr: None of the 72 vaccines mandated for American children underwent a SINGLE pre-licensing placebo-controlled safety trial.

Kamloops Chief Rosanne Casimir is making excuses for not using the $12.1 million given by the government in 2021 to excavate the graves she claimed were at the Kamloops Indian Residential School.
What you may not know is that the band got another $12.5 million to build a "healing house," despite the claim of the 215 not being proven.
Chief Casimir needs to pay back all the money (with interest), apologize to Canadians, and resign!

Notice the inversion: instead of asking why no one has been arrested, media figures warn that reading the documents could “radicalize” people. In other words, the problem isn’t the crimes but the public awareness. That tells you exactly whose interests are being defended.
The lockstep collapse of Western nations—in exactly the same way, at exactly the same time—is no "coincidence".
"It's called managed decline, and it's happening by design."
Remember when Bill Gates grinned like a creep fantasizing about injecting GMOs “into little kids’ arms”?
From everything that’s come out, Gates clearly got off on putting things into children that have no business being there.
He’s a depraved, pedophile monster who belongs in a cage for the rest of his miserable life.
