I have the chance right now to pick up a number of days subbing at the local Middle School, but I'm queasy about the politics of schools these days. Lot of good that Master's is doing. Heh.

I worked in a kindgergarten class the other day, and was very pleasantly surprised. During an indoor recess, they watched a cartoon movie about the pilgrims and Indians. The pilgrims kept referring to God, and even prayed in thanks to Him. One day, I subbed at a middle school, and in the teacher’s workroom heard one teacher ask another if she ever made it to the Palin rally.

My son is singing an actual Christmas song at his school concert, that mentions the babe in the manger, angels, and wise men :) They also had a Veteran’s Day assembly to honor relatives of the children. All the kids were given little flags. I saw one of the boys riding home on his bike, proudly waving his flag all the way.

Disclaimer: I live in a red state in a red county, so it could be very different in other schools. I am VERY thankful thus far I have not had the experience other Freepers have talked about with their schools. I am willing to homeschool if things get bad, but I’ve been pleased so far.

I’m not saying your experience will be this positive, but it’s worth a shot. You can always stop subbing if it’s a total disaster.

THANK YOU for going into the schools—where we MUST fight the battle against ignorance, which supports the leftist gains. I commend you.

Subbing, you don’t often have much interaction with the politics, but there’s a little. Mostly, you get treated like dirt. :-)
