It's not right to judge sex ed on the basis of what it's like in the real world. The iDEA is a good one. Who CARES what's it's like in reality!
Another great moment in public education
Tenure is pointless. I can't imagine my school system firing me even if I didn't have tenure, because I do my job exceptionally well. Tenure does very little good except to prevent principals from abusing their power and firing teachers over peripheral issues or personality conflicts. My guess is that those firings would be far less common than the problems under a tenure system. Most teachers I work with are good or even great, but a disappointing number of incompetents remain, teachers who are not good enough that I would want them teaching my kids or anyone else's kids, but not bad enough that the administration considers it worth the effort to document their performance and eventually fire them. I'd support an end to tenure - as the Democrats say "it's for the children" and in this case that phrase would, for once, be true.
I don’t get a sense of “see I told you so” from all these posts showing how far downhill the government system is going. To me, they’re all reminders why so many of us have chosen to sacrifice for a better way.

Heretic, HERETIC, BURN HIM!!!!!!

So sorry about being so long on some of these pings. Life has kind of blindsided me the last couple of weeks or so.
Yes. I was going to post that one but thought twice about it ;) L0L
Thanks for the info. I had an absolutely evil teacher in 5th grade who degraded all of the boys in the class including hitting them on the head with a massive daimond ring...and this was in 1963. It is amazing to see what happened to some of the guys in the class including suicide and rampant drug use in later years. I’m OK but it took a long, long tme.
When I was in school sex ed was the back seat of a ‘54 Mercury.
