My 16 year old son has started being quite vocal with his teachers in how things are not making sense. He is basically dropping red pills here and there, and if they say something he will counter back questioning it. Not in an argumentative way, not disagreeing with them as such, but just to have them think about what they have said so to speak, like we do on here.

Example with one teacher. The teacher complained to my son about how the other kids think nothing about sharing a cigarette with each other, because they know they won't get too ill. Theyre not thinking about passing it on to people like him, who could get ill. He then went on to say so many people are dying and situations like that do not help. My son responded by saying that the deaths have been extremely exaggerated, to the point people have fallen from ladders, died and been classed as covid. The teacher agreed, but rabbited on about further shit. My son said he informed the teacher of the building of the concentration camps in Germany, and then just let him rant away while he continued working and said nothing more.

Now I think it is wrong that a teacher is expressing his fear to a child, along with complaining about the behaviour of others and claiming they are wrong. That could easily create conflict amongst their peers, especially if the child was already fearful. This could also increase anxiety.

I am a bit concerned though that this may be teachers doing this in a deliberate attempt to gather intel from home life. To see how the parents think etc.

Just to add for the pro lockdown and mask brigades, before you attack my son. He wears a mask when required, because he does not feel the need to help increase the fear of others when it doesn't bother him wearing one. He social distances when and where he can for the same reasons.
