“The Dept of Ed., NEA, and teacher’s unions are the big problem.However, you are right that today’s new teachers are a huge problem because they have been brainwashed in our PC govt. schools.”

Yes, EXACTLY. They’re brainwashed in our so-called “Schools of Education” at the major universities. These ‘schools’ need to be SHUT DOWN once and for all.

There are more than enough non-brainwashed Americans that would just LOVE to teach...particularly the well-educated ones that are out of work. There is no reason for teachers to spend more than, maybe a week or two, learning the profession. They certainly don’t need to spend 5 years at it.

I taught for 4 years in the 70's and even then there was frustration at every turn. I was in my mid thirties when I earned my degree and was certified, and I was appalled at what the schools had become since my HS days. Four years was all I could take. The older teachers were just holding on; the coaches were interested in sports only, though they had to teach classes, too.

I did my best to instill interest and tell them the truth about real life. I loved the students, but even then the NEA was PC and teachers were forced to join the state union. I opted out of NEA union because I could see where it was going and what it was doing.

The national leaders are nearly all flaming leftists and have entered education expressly to carry out their agenda. Unfortunately, unsuspecting parents have allowed them to succeed.
