Somebody owes me child support.
They’re all our children
The democrats know Stalin’s work very well and are using it.
“Like h_ _ _ they do.”
I guess that explains why the Biden kids turned out so rotten.
yes mcawful lost the election with that statement
lets go brandon
Taught for 32 years. Was always given at least one class in Social Studies. The last 5 years, as a class we would read James Clavilles, A Children’s Story. Highly recommend it to all Freepers.
.......I have at least one beloved but deceased Aunt who was the BEST TEACHER that ever lived. She taught Science for 30 years in the 9th grade at a Texas Junior High School.
Almost daily, she received mail from students that had long since moved on and got jobs and had kids etc; By the hundreds, they just loved her and for all the right things as they all said they actually “learned something” in her class. She was the type person, rare indeed, who could command respect without saying a word.
So, your right. There are exceptions to the rule, even in government schools. But, my public school is not even recognizable to me. I sat in many of my kids classrooms when they were growing up. Very little teaching went on so I moved my son to Marine Military Academy and my daughter to a Catholic School. The classroom environment at MMA was night and day difference with a typical “government school” today.
I agree with your last sentence and assert that this can’t go on. Poor kids deserve good schools and good teachers too............NOT Government Schools run by NEA teachers.
This is the position of the entire Left including the whole Democratic Party and the teachers unions.
Government schools were always a bad idea.
Biden: “Come here little kiddies, you’re mine!”
Oh WOW! Look at that! Bidens approval ratings just dropped another 5 points. Imagine that!
There is a huge difference in Government schools and Public Schools.
Public Schools were a good idea and did things no other nation has done.
Government schools destroyed that.
This demented jackass is a Marxist along the lines of Lenin and Trotsky.
Back in the 50s when the principals and teachers had more sway (before unionization made most teachers into loony leftists), many teachers were hired who had not themselves been indoctrinated by the ludicrously left-wing Departments of Education at universities. Ordinary, decent women with a basic liberal arts degree could become teachers, as could men who had engineering or English degrees or some form of life experience that could inform their curriculum. One of my high school teachers had been a Colonel in the U.S. Army during WW2, and his explanations of history were spell-binding.
Our class loved our sixth-grade teacher so much, and benefited by her instructions so much, that we had a reunion for her when she was in her 80s. She told us that she took a teaching job because it was advertised after her husband was transferred to a strange city, and she was a little scared. She called her dad the day before she was to start her job and asked him for advice. He told her, "Just love the children."
I can tell you that is what she did, in addition to teaching us with joy and enthusiasm, and she also disciplined us. One of our "bad boys" had a "conduct book" in which to write his progress at achieving self-control. We adored that teacher, and I personally am indebted to her more than I care to say on this forum.
She told me, when I was an adult, that her personal by-word in life was "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." (Romans 8:28)
Yes, James Clavell had been a prisoner of war in WW2. It rather focuses the mind on the meaning of freedom.
Or when I’m sniffing their hair or feeling their boob buds.
Years ago Fort Worth school district had a huge sign up on a main road that read “Thank a Teacher, the most important person in a child’s life.”
So now, when a teacher gets caught diddling a student, we should also charge them with incest.
