Almost makes me wish my children were back in school, so I could tell these little Hitlers where to shove it.

Actually, they were like that 15 years ago when the kids WERE in school. I remember walking in for a parent/teacher night, and having the teacher order us all to sit down and be quiet. I walked out.

I attended my grand son's 8th grade graduation last May. Packed auditorium, hot, wringing wet with sweat. At the end of the ceremony the announcer told everybody to keep their seats until the teachers had completely filed out of the building.

Two exits, I was on the opposite end of where the teachers were exiting and my exit was wide open except for some old hen standing there. I approached the exit and she held her hands out in front of her to stop me. I breezed right by her and she said, "you have to wait until the teachers are gone"

I said, "not in this lifetime" and walked out the door.

She must think that I have no respect for teachers. She might be right.

We had a teacher that gave large amounts of homework tell us he only grades 5-10% of it. It is to time consuming. So my kids spent an hour or more every day on his homework that he did not grade or return to the students. Heal thy self school before you lecture me.

I remember 26 years ago. My daughter was in the 1st grade. This was when diversity started. The Government was enforcing their edict that all kids were entitled to an equal education.

My daughter had gone through PreK and Kindergarten at a Catholic school without a problem.

We moved to another town. Enrolled her in Public School.

She had to sit next to a student that continuosly banged his head on his desk. She came home crying everyday.

After a week of this we had a meeting with her teacher.

The teachers advice was to schedule an appointment with a shrink.

Needless to say we pulled her and enrolled her in a Catholic school

What a fine example you set.

Something about teachers. They're addicted to authority, and they think that their job is the most important job in the world. SO important, in fact, that they should not be subject to market forces. Because Lord knows we can't trust the parents with their children's education. No, an anointed elite must make these decisions.
