My daughter is becoming 'ill at ease' and in her words is tuning out some of the bias statements being made
I plan to email the principal this weekend, and could use some Freeper input in help with wording for my letter inquiring about their 'policies', and my concern about bias in the classroom (without making my daughter a 'target').
Thanks for any help in this.
If she becomes a target ... pull her out, quit your job and home school her.
can the class be taped? Having voice evidence is good cause the teacher may deny it.
For example, you might start by saying “My daughter very much values the education she is receiving at -— High School. However, she has a concern with her History class.”
Then try to make a case against the course material, not against the teacher personally.
Which economy was that again....thats improved so greatly?
My advice tell your child not to OPENLY make fun of this moron...
all he has is his or her pride...
I found the principal at my daughter’s Catholic school to be very responsive to concerns I had with a teacher, and it turned out I wasn’t the first in his office that week about it.
Since it is a Catholic school, I would bring up the Church’s position on Obamacare.
Right up front, tell him that you realize your daughter might become a target, and if that happens you will take corrective measures. To a lib that sounds like a beatdown coming...
World history is a tough course to teach because there is so much material to cover. If the teacher is diverting time to talk about current events, she will fall behind and not cover her curriculum.
...you might start by saying “My daughter very much values the education she is receiving at -— High School. However, I have a concern with her History class.”
By the way, are there other parents that feel as you do? There is certainly strength in numbers.
Is your daughter up to the task of gently taking the teacher on, with subtle questions asked at regular intervals throughout the week that question the teachers assertions in a non-confrontational but nevertheless meaningful way?
It’s a big task, I know. But if she’s up to it, it might end up being one of the best educational experiences of her young life.
Housing bubble was caused by years of democrats insisting the poor (and in many cases ineligible for loans) be given loans. (See Community Reinvestment Act, which each president added too, resulting in banks being forced to make bad loans) Dems want to blame banks and savings and loans for making bad loans, but the government (since Carter) caused this. It happened to crash at the end of Bush years, but was not his fault anymore than the tighter loan climate was obamas. The banks had to for their own well being.
Economy in the tank so ANY uptick is claimed as obamas great economy. When you get knocked down, getting onto your knees is better than being flat, but still not where you started.
The unemployment numbers the dems keep waving around look good, until you consider what they were before the crash. 4.4% with many manufacturing and full time jobs that are now gone..... many quit looking for a job or took two part time jobs - so the current numbers aren't reflective of real story. I understand it is dicey - hoping not to upset a teacher and have her retaliate on your child, but if she responds rudely to your daughter it is worth a meeting with her in the principals office to make sure she assures you that her personal feelings will not reflect on your daughters grade or how she is treated in class. The teacher having to agree to that in front of her boss will keep her in line.
REALITY CHECK A primetime network news segment focused on an "impoverished" latino mother who paid big bucks to get her/ son coached to take the College Boards---but he was so stupid, he still couldn't pass them. So the C/B decided to "change" them so that Pedro could pass using subversive Third World hate-filled US history.
Subversive Texas Textbooks---distributed nationwide--- vilify conservative groups
Breitbart Texas | 09/10/2014 | Merrill Hope / FR Posted by Rusty0604
In 2006, uber-liberal "Texas Rising" stated its mission: "developing an emerging generation of social justice-minded, informed and engaged leaders is essential to the long-term health of our communities and the development of progressive public policy in Texas."
...a sneak peak at the preliminary Social Studies textbook findings TTT has found including distortions, omissions and half- truths all passing for accurate high school history..."The radical right consists of groups that sometimes gather under the flag of militant anticommunism."
"Often known as reactionaries, they denounce most forms of government regulation, including progressive taxation and restrictions and industry. Strangely enough, these radicals would not hesitate to use the government's police power to enforce the changes they desire. Examples of political groups on the radical right are the John Birch Society, the National States & Rights party, The Christian Crusade, and the Tea Party movement."

=============================================
THIRD WORLD INFILTRATION College Board exams changed history answers... revisionist historians developed different answers to the question of what America’s story is about. From their perspective, at the heart of our country’s history—like the history of any other powerful nation—lies the pursuit of empire, of dominion over others. At its core, say the revisionists, America’s history is about our capacity for self-delusion, our endless attempts to justify raw power grabs with pretty fairy-tales about democracy. ....
NOTE WELL: This terrifying Third World revisionism is straight out of Third World textbooks---emphasizing the T/W effort to undermine US ntl security for the coming armed takeover.
The conniving T/W uses an ancient formula going back to Greco-Roman times---where savages, barbarians and thieves overrun a bountiful country lusting after its power and riches.
REFERENCE Some 10 years back, Texas schools started used Mexican textbooks for their backward illiterate Spanish-speaking students. Textbooks advocated the Mexican perspective including:
<><> anti-white, anti-capitalist anti-USA viewpoints;
<><> Mexican textbooks falsified US history,
<><> proselytized blood-thirsty La Raza savagery;
<><> using teaching as brainwashing;
<><> inculcating violent separatist, latino supremacy ideology.
=================================================
Americans demand US history be properly taught in all education setting---K-12 to college---and that students be taught to respect the foundations of our country. Moreover we demand those in education positions who tamper w/ US history, who denigrate our country's history, be shown the door...... and be penalized when necessary.
THE NAME OF THE IMMIGRATION REFORM GAME
decimate US culture and history---establish a separatist Third World on US soil.
Maybe the smart way to approach this is to do nothing wrt the school iof you are planning to have your daughter remain there; but use the occasion to develop an understanding and a deepening of the relationship with w/your daughter as to the limitations of people who happen to be in positions of authority over them, because this is a condition that is bound to repeat many times in her life. Talk to her about how it is sometimes necessary to get along with people whose views differ from yours, and you may even wish to discuss with your daughter how it can be in her interest to cheerfully agree with someone in authority position. Would you then be teaching her to manipulate others? Well, that’s among the topics you might discuss with her.
My 2 cents. Let it go. At least until she is out of his class. Then let the school know. The idiot teacher will find any reason to retaliate. As an aside, she will have to deal with idiots all her life, consider this practice
Honestly, the best thing that you could do for your daughter is to say nothing. It doesn’t sound like the teacher is belittling. It just sounds like he or she is verbose. Your daughter will have plenty of liberal teachers in her life. She will run across plenty of liberal people in her job. She has to learn how to deal and negotiate the real word and all of the political opinions therein.
Work with her so she understands the fallacies of what she hears, then she will be able to handle whatever is thrown at her. Trying to insulate her from that will hinder, not help, her intellectual development.
OTOH, if the monologues by the teacher are affecting timing of curriculum and kids aren’t learning what they should—that is what you can argue with administration.
1. Pray for the teacher.
2. Pray for the communicating that you will be doing. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide your words, leaving personal pride and temper out of it.
My kids are getting used to the fact that teachers are to the left of them. They raise an issue or respond to one, as best they can.
I don’t know if I would complain. It’s a good life lesson to have to put up with morons in positions of authority, especially in the working world. I help the child think through what what to do or say in class,but I expect them to make the call on whether to be quiet, or defend their views. By the way, our kids are in public school, and their, ahem, “challenging” teachers are usually English teachers.
tell them it's NOT a political science class... if the agitprop is going to continue tell them you want another teacher, after all, you ARE paying for it Then ask her what it was all for, since the country is rapidly becoming a third-rate power and a laughingstock around the world.
This is a world history class? At the beginning of the year did they give your daughter or you a syllabus? Can’t see how Obamacare came up in World History.
