Good documentation is also the best way to build a legal case. He may have one by the time he graduates.
Don’t like high school politics? Just wait until you get to college!
“One teacher even said she wouldn’t be able to have another child because Scott Walker was cutting so much money from her pay.”
Now, there is a benefit I hadn’t even considered! Stop them from breeding.
Understand the Frankfurt School, Columbia U and NEA relationship history and activities. It’s critical.
he looks like a young Jason Lewis
I always like to use number one on anyone that tries to say that opposition to 0bama is because he’s black.
My son is a high honors 8th Grade student and belongs to a WI Conservative Student Club in a very liberal district. My wife and I are staunch conservatives and we know what he faces. He doesn’t let anything promoted by liberals bother him, and he naturally challenges his teachers. They need him, because he’s always been an absolutely honest, self-controlled, non-disruptive and helpful-to-all sort of kid. He is the dream student: an athlete, a math whiz and he quietly and properly completes his assignments. At conferences they say he’s a real leader as no kids will be disruptive if he’s around, because he doesn’t like it when they do. He plays right tackle O line and at 5’11”/ 185 lbs he’s the biggest kid in his class. God was good to us.
You're still young kid, give it some time....
“There are a few teachers that have been extremely inspirational to me.”
I thought my high school teachers were a bunch of pathetic fools when I was in high school 40-some years ago. Looking back, I now realize that my opinion at the time was much too charitable! I would close all public schools, fire the teachers and administrators and give parents an education voucher to be spent on any private school of their choice. Left wing activism has turned public schools into political indoctrination camps with low achievement scores on everything else.
That said, I do not approve of teachers imposing their personal political or religious views on students, taking advantage of the power they have over them (grades). However, I am not entirely certain that this young man did not deliberately bait teachers by stating activities which I'm sure he knew would generate controversy. Reading through this article, it certainly seems that he went out of his way to do just that. For example, his telling a teacher, in front of a class, that her behavior was "inappropriate" was itself highly disrespectful. He should have asked to speak to her after class. Such actions would quickly paint him as a real smart aleck.
Some of his purported conversations with these teachers just do not sound real. I don't know, this whole piece sounds like a contrived attempt to garner a pat on the head, "Good Boy!" from conservatives.
I supposed I must remind FReepers that although I am a teacher, I am a conservative as well. I have been subjected to my own dose of awful remarks by some more liberal colleagues, but generally they learn very quickly to keep such remarks to themselves. They may start a fight, but I most certainly will finish it. For example, just last week, a colleague told me that "I didn't have to be so stringent about my religious practices to prepare for Passover." I asked her when she had become my rabbi. And then, pointing out the obvious, I told her to keep such opinions to herself. I doubt that she will ever offer up any such remark again.
Good! Invite him to FR (as post 29 mentions).
I spent the morning grading reports written by my community college students. Of the 12 or so I’ve worked through, only one approaches the quality of this writing.
Color me impressed.
This kid is 15? I’m 22 and seriously wish I could write as well as he does!
If he really wants to attract the contempt of teachercrats, he should hook up with TrueTheVote.
AFAIK, and very generally speaking, the teachers at the bottom of the pay grid make about double what the teachers at the bottom make. The only factors in the pay are level of education, and years of experience. The lowest-paid have minimum credentials, and zero experience. The highest-paid have a masters degree and (again, generally speaking) 10 years of experience.
Principles, Vice-principles, etc. get more, just as managers would in any other business. The teachers advance on the pay grid, without having to take on any additional duties.
Is that the kid that spoke at CPAC a few years ago?
What a bright, young man. Thanks for posting.
I was thinking Haley Joel Osment
His first mistake is his vow to always support public education. It’s a lost cause.
Now that is naive, publik skoolz are the focal point of evil leftist indoctrination
