Softballmom, there are plenty of dysfunctional schools in the U.S. I don't know if you or other the Freeper teachers work at one.

Yes, any teacher of any religion who cooperates in running these schools should be blamed. If they open the doors to schools that they know ( or should know) are using harmful teaching methods, graduate illiterate or innumerate( or barely so) children, or are unsafe, then YES it would be more moral to work at Mc Donalds. Hopefully, these are capable of working at jobs more demanding than Mc Donalds.

Yes, those working at Mc Donalds have more integrity than teachers who cooperate with school who hurt children emotionally, physically, or educationally.

Anyone who claims to be conservative and supports compulsory attendance government schools, and supports threatening other citizens with the sheriff's sale of their homes and businesses, is only partially conservative.

I can' know if the Freeper teachers are cooperating with government schools that harm children emotionally, physically, or educationally. If they are, they are one of three things:

1) Too stupid to know they are hurting children.

2) If they do know they are cooperating with government schools that hurt children, then they are greed.

3) If they do know they are cooperating with government schools that hurt children, then they may simply be sadistic.

I am in a rush, and have not proof read this.

Well, since you have stated many times that ALL public schools are an abomination (or something along that line), then I guess I do fall in one of those three categories. Sadistic, a new adjective.

What you can't seem to bring yourself to admit is that there are good public schools out there. There are schools where the kids are happy and learning and the teachers engage their minds on a daily basis. Because humans run these schools, mistakes are made, but they are not mistakes of sadism. Not every classroom is run on a gang mentality by alpha students or sexually and emotionally abusive teachers. There are great public schools and awful public schools and plenty on a continuum between the two ends of the spectrum. I like to think I teach at one on the positive end and that my girls attended a great school. Yet, you more than once have come close to calling my daughters liars because they say they have not witnessed abuse. This has been expressed in comments such as "Well SoftballMom says HER daughters never saw this" "EYEROLL" "SURE!" These imply that they and/or I are lying. We are not.

You have even told other young posters that if they went to a public school their parents wasted their education. You have no way of knowing that. You make blanket statements that you have no way of proving then try to backtrack your way out of your statement with doubletalk. But your words are out there in black and white and are easily searchable. It's hard to defend absolutes and even harder to defend hyperbole.
