I have students who won't remove their idiotic masks at their lessons in my music teaching studio-- WTH? One of them had COVID and recovered, so won't be getting it again any time soon but you CAN'T GET THAT ACROSS, they have NEVER HEARD of an immune system and they don't want to know. They don't want to know that children have a 99.98% chance of surviving COVID, and COVID has a 2.2% mortality rate. Sheesh. People walking around on the street in open air pulling masks over their faces when you walk by-- these are KIDS, for God's sake-- they are growing up with their brains twisted into painfully unnatural contortions, at high risk of permanent disfiguration by living in a complete state of irrational fear.

It's more like 0.022% mortality. In Denmark they finally admitted that only 450 people under 70 died in a population of 6 million. They officially filtered out those "with COVID". I expect that some of these are "with" and is especially the case for the over 70s where the number is around 2500.

129 under 60 and I can guarantee you that there was something "wrong" with these people. This is an establishment left leaning tabloid (one of the big two in DK): https://ekstrabladet.dk/nyheder/politik/danskpolitik/450-danskere-under-70-aar-doede-af-corona/9701661

If you google translate this then Venstre (=left) is not a leftist party, although I would consider them to be so! It is the traditional liberal right of center party, which was considered leftist in the 1800s before the socialists emerged. The unity list (Enhedslisten) is an amalgamation of communist parties., which not surprisingly was big on lockdowns and restricting freeedoms.

One thing I do know is music is something needed to heal us.

there is no reason for anybody to wear masks. I am so sorry that humans have become insane..

Agree. But kids need guidance. Where are the parents?

A lot of them only have one parent or are from dysfunctional families. This is why family life has been under attack to create a situation like today.

Amazingly 'cloudy infants' is a anagram of 'dysfunctional'.

I have asked this same question. Where are the parents?

They are likely those people wearing a mask driving in their car alone...lol

I'm a Suzuki teacher, among other methods I'm familiar with. That means that the parents are sitting in the room taking notes or they come in then go out and come back after doing short errands. Most are not wearing masks. Some of these kids have been studying since very early this year. I tell them they do not have to wear masks. Especially if they've already had COVID within the past year or two.

Must be nice to be the type of parent who can just sit in on their kids classes. Most of us work and run errands in the rare free time

...not caring a whit to notice that Plato (I know, I Know, I KNOW what bone y'all are gonna pick with that-- the "murder all the poor" one...yep ;-) noticed long ago that we need study only two things: "Music," and "gymnastic." Why do you suppose just THOSE two things? I mean, we ALL "know" that musicians only need to know their alphabet from A to G and their numbers from 1 to 4..... Idiots in this country believe (PROPAGANDIZED!) that we need more and more and More and MORE and M-O-R-E "STEAM" classes-- that's because deep down the narcissists know that when they finish using up the last drops of water and the last drops of oil and the last bits of lithium, you'll simply grab your beach towels, throw on your truckers' caps and slide into your flip-flops with a tube of sunscreen and blast off for Mars, with Elon and his other 999,999 "close friends." Good luck!

If you think water and oil will run out I have an ocean front property to sell you in Arizona. God speaks through music and it is way more complex then the simple terms you described

Not when you sign up for Suzuki lessons. Dropping off kids and expecting them to come back washed, dried and folded in 30, 45, 60 minutes, and you weren't there to understand what we're trying to do, just one day out of the week? You need to see how I the music teacher works with your kid during that time so you know exactly what they'll be doing in daily home practice the other six days of the week, solidifying their weekly instruction with daily practicing. I now have a written intake interview I use with any and all prospective new students and families. If you're not going to support your kids' music teacher then I'm not going to teach your kid, or you.... and just Who "needs" music, anyway? Hmmmpfff!!~! Visit suzukiassociation.org to learn more.

As someone that is paying for your salary, if your not teaching my kid then maybe you shouldn’t get paid
