Wintertime, just stow it. Don't try to hide behind rules you set for me and not yourself. You threw a salvo at me and all teachers, claiming we were basically criminals for reporting to our jobs to try and educate children and help them in any other way we can. You can hardly expect to accuse teachers of criminality and not expect me to defend myself and the profession. We don't get up in the morning and drive to work thinking, "Oh, goody. I am proud to be a cog in the government criminal machine, whoopee!"
Your statements reek of ignorance and lack of analytical thinking. You are ridiculous. This is not the first time you've amply demonstrated that for all to see, either.
I ask two **serious** questions that need serious answers by the taxpayer, the parents, and the teachers. They are not a “salvo” at you.
1) When are schools so bad that essential the teachers are cooperating with and establishing evil? In some schools we are close to or at that point.
2) When are schools so horrific that parents sending their children into them are knowingly or unknowingly committing child abuse? Again, in some schools we are close to or at that point. Even if a child were to never attend, illiteracy and innumeracy can be fixed. Dead can't be.,
