Jacob and Natalia –
Although my children have not taken this course yet. I must share that I and many others appreciate a teacher who can think for herself and does not go along with the government’s narrative. This is sadly, what many people have done by allowing themselves to be indoctrinated by media, radio, and the internet (which is all compromised through our government). I am thankful that this teacher and many other licensed and excellent medical doctors are able to think for themselves. See dailycout.io. and Naomi Wolf’s most recent book “The Bodies of Others.” The evidence against shots keeps piling up.

I was disappointed in the quality of this course. The teacher does very little teaching, and mostly reads from the textbook and takes up quiz answers. Also, students’ responses are difficult to hear or inaudible as only the instructor has a mic. Parents should be aware that this instructor goes on an anti-vaccination tangent during the module on the lymphatic, endocrine and urinary systems and shares her personal opinions on Covid-19.
