Personally....I will not have a government teacher or government school worker for a friend. They are too evil, too stupid, or too much of a Useful Idiot to be a friend!
Where are the “good” teachers everyone claims they know or are somewhere out there in Never Never Land? Huh?
**Every** day, here on Free Republic, stories are posted about the most depraved outrages going on in the nation's socialist schools. Most of these are from school districts that would be considered “good”. So?...In response do you see stories of the “good” teachers who swarming the school boards and union meetings? Do you see armies of “good” teachers marching on the legislature demanding reform? Where are the stories of “good” teachers supporting programs that would lead to privatization? Where are the “good” teachers who are organizing the parents or demanding that their churches open Christian schools? Hm?
The Silence screams across the nation from these so-called “good” teachers. They are timid toadies, who in my opinion are sleeping with the enemy.
I don't see or meet “good teachers” as I go about my life. Personally, I have concluded they are as rare as Christian unicorns.
You definitely have a point. There are not many “good’ teachers because after decades of brainwashing to be “tolerant” and “group think” they have no analytical skills. That is what is being intentionally destroyed—they have no “true” facts and their foundational knowledge is skewered and filled with lies. (Marxism is the Big Lie).
Plus, Marxism twists words so you can no longer really intelligently talk about issues. Look at the OWS.....crowd. Fed lies—can’t think analytically.
The teachers (Prussian school system of Dewey’s is for mass brainwashing and humiliating those who think out side the box) remind me of the Germans in the 30’s. They had Prussian schools also but way before we did, and most became cowards —they would NOT speak up against evil (cept a few like Bonheoffer). (Funny——Bonhoeffer’s mother hated the Prussian schools and would not allow her children to attend them.
The Prussian school system (ours, too) is designed to get people who will go with the crowd—they from Kindergarten on learn that if they say something different—they get ridiculed or belittled by the group of peers—all the same age which is easier to make children feel outcasts and odd. Kids are conditioned to not rock the boat and go allow with the crowd—otherwise they will be hammered. It is hard to get over 12 years of this psychology used in the school systems. (All curricula is immersed with psychology to affect belief system—B.k. Eakman—Cloning of the American Mind).
Abe Lincoln never set foot in a school for more than a few months. Neither did the mass number of Founders who would never have been in an institution before the age of seven. Parent’s formed their worldview and instilled their ethics and built their character, because the children modeled what they saw at home—not in an institution away from reality of life.
Now they model themselves after a bunch of the same age idiots—so they NEVER mature. Before kids were in classrooms with all ages and could learn at their own speed and not waste 85 % of their time.
