It's amazing that I never thought of that brilliant idea!!, there are cameras everywhere and the classroom should be no exception....I fully intend to propose this idea to my local school board.
As a woman, I completely agree with your assessment.
While he was going through that mess, we ran into his former principal-a man. The former principal gave him the manly, quick one arm side hug because he knows my husband and knew the whole thing was wrong.
The female principal that replaced him has been so disastrous that a teacher told her daughter she will pay for private school for the grandkids
during their middle school years.
“....I fully intend to propose this idea to my local school board.”
It would be great if school boards all over the country were inundated with demands (not suggestions ... demands) for this type of parental oversight. Can you imagine what the evil teachers’ unions would do? Heads would explode!
A “teacher cam” in every classroom would be great. Relatively cheap. Teachers might be more motivated to ... well ... teach. Parents who don’t give a rip about their kids aren’t required to log in, but their kids will reap benefits because teachers will have to perform better. Why should the liberal education system have PRIVATE unfettered access to children’s brains for six hours every day? It’s sickening.
When I started elementary school in the late 1970s, the principal was a woman and she had held the title for decades. There were no problems on her watch.
When I was in middle school in the mid ‘80s, they switched from a no-nonsense male principal to a 40-something woman. Everyone was raving about how “wonderful” she was and her predecessor a boor. Having dealt with both of them, the difference was night and day. When I was implicated (falsely) by a school bus driver for a spitball melee (how quaint), the male principal looked me straight in the eye and asked if I was responsible. I replied with a “No, sir.” Without a second question or comment, he dismissed me.
When the next year and the woman took over and there was becoming a noticeable breakdown in discipline at the school and I was a victim of assault and battery by some unruly punks, I complained to her and she didn’t do a damn thing about it. It got so out of hand that by the end of the year a woman teacher (who also was ill-fit for handling unruly children), decided to single me out and I ended up quickly turning the tables and excoriating her loudly in the hallway with the parting shot that she wasn’t fit to teach 1st graders, nevermind handling oversized 12 and 13 year old aspiring thugs (with teachers and others coming out of the classes to see what the shouting was about). No one had ever spoken the truth to her straight out over her incompetency. The following year she transferred to teaching 1st grade.
This is almost quaint stuff by today’s standards, but watching ever-increasing incompetence in our public schools and protection of equally ill-suited teachers by labor unions year by year soured me on the entire system by the time I was 12 or 13. 30 years hence, it’s an epic-level disaster.
Oh, fear not, everyone who knows me realizes that my suggestions are, in effect, demands. If they are refused, or worse ignored, I will more than insist that my views be considered......they always are.
Is the Bible Belt becoming the Koran Belt?
Who is behind this?
There is a huge concentration of muslims in Tennessee.
Both of Tennessee’s Senators, Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN)
and Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN), helped pass the Senate’s Gang of Eight bill which would have tripled the number of green cards issued over the next ten years.
I love it! I will pray for you and that something might come from this and from your strength. Parents being able to keep an eye on classrooms activities goes far beyond simply monitoring Islam-specific indoctrination.
I have a friend here in a TN county who was successful in having the Islam program removed from these schools. He, some Tea Partiers, and some church members gathered the pertinent information and took it someone in power at the school district. Not sure of the title. (I don’t have kids or grand-kids so am not “up” on the hierarchy.) Their case was strong and they were successful. So, it can be done.
