“I wish this were true! In my experience, the students I have in the public school have NO FEAR of teachers or principals.”(Nevadan)

In post #16 it is evident that you would approve of fear of police to force learning in your classroom.
Honestly,...I am sorry. No one should have to go to work in such an environment day after day.
Government schools need to be shut down.
Wintertime, to be honest, I don’t respond to your posts in order to engage you in a discussion - I’ve found that to be a complete waste of time because you never listen - you just “emote”. You don’t follow through on the logical consequences of your statements. You refuse to see anything outside of the paradigm you’ve created about public schools.
And, while I appreciate your sincere heartfelt concern for me in my job situation, you don’t have to be. It’s true that working with kids can be challenging, but I still love them (most of the time) and I enjoy working with them very much. So, while they could use a little more respect (or “fear” as you call it) - they are also eager to learn - even in public school. Sometimes it is so much fun teaching with them that I wonder how I could have such a wonderful job. Of course, it’s not always that way, but when the little guys spontaneously give you a hug as they come in the door, it makes all the tough days worth it.
The tragic part about you and me is that you and I are both conservatives and are probably very close on our moral and political beliefs. But, the truth is that destroying public schools is not going to save America. Homeschooling and private schools are not going to save America. Getting rid of Obama, Obamacare, and every liberal in office is not going to save America. And, while I would love to see conservatives elected to every office in our county, state, and federal governments, I realize that even that is not going to ultimately save Americe either. No, in my opinion, our nation is now so spiritually bankrupt that only a spiritual revival sent to us by a merciful God can save us.
So, in the future, I want you to know that I will continue, from time to time, respond to some of your posts. But, I only will do so, as I mentioned above, not to engage with you - but only for the benefit of others reading on the same thread. Just thought you ought to know.
