On the whole teachers / educators these days are the most repressible elements of society.

Consider this, your child would learn more about life’s hardships and reality, as well as economics, living on the streets navigating with thieves and drug dealers.

The schools of today offer no life skills or even basic education needed to function in society.

Well, boo hoo.

That’s what’s going to happen after the government gets its paws on anything concerning our lives.

It’s not the fault of Covid, It’s the fault of government response to it.

Put them to work in the agricultural fields—those teachers would get an attitude adjustment in a hurry.

My niece worked for ten years as a school psychologist in several CT towns, and is now running a school in one of the smaller ones.

Yes, there are a lot of messed-up children. The problem? In every case, the parents and the families are just a disaster. There’s not much the school system can really do.

When she started the job, she was a liberal Dem. After seeing the reality on the ground, she changed her politics.

New Haven’s “educators” foster the problem by supporting policies that treat accountability and hard work as oppressive instruments of white men.

Uh, here in SC we’ve been learning like normal and standardized EOC tests have jumped 5-10% back from pre-covid lows to OVER what they were pre-covid.

Stop whining.

They should try a healthy dose of conservativism and American values. After a few weeks, they’ll be right as rain.
