I respect good teachers, and I know quite a few of them.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

We see this expression often: “Good” teachers.

Well?...I do have a problem with that. I suppose you and others are referring to teachers who convey some information and the children somehow retain it, but what about morally good?

Since every government owned and run school in this nation is godless, how can a “good” teacher cooperate with that? Children must learn to think and reason godlessly in these government schools if they even minimally cooperative with the curriculum. Do “good” teachers agree to teach children to think godlessly? Would a good teachers undermine the religious worldview taught in the home?

Personally....I don't think a “good” teacher would do that.

And then there is the socialism aspect of government schooling. Often a child's first contact with socialism is their pre-k or kindergarten teachers. How long is it before they learn that government schools use the threat of force to get money from a neighbor to pay for their socialist-funded and tuition free schooling? Well! Gee Whiz! If the voting mob can get government to give the child tuition-free school why not thousands of other free socialist services and goods?

Would “good” teachers agree to support a system of indoctrination that would teach children to be comfortable with socialism or submitting their hearts, minds, reason, and inner thoughts, to the will of the voting mob.

The good teachers happened to be Christian, and one that was Jewish.

One of my favorites listened to Christian music before and after school. Lots of kids came into her room at those times, and they got to hear the worship music.

My kids knew the ones that were Christian. They knew which churches they went to, and we ran into a few at church.

In elementary school, my kids never got taught anything that I did not approve of.

One teacher that my son had in middle school was absolutely amazing. He was a landscape architect, and then he had a stroke and almost died. He changed his life around at that time. He went back to school and got his teaching certificate. He now teaches US History in the public school. He is very involved in Campus Life which is a Christian organization that go into the public schools and they have a Christian club/Bible study during lunch. Lots of kids went to Campus Life because he was involved with it.

My kids went to one good public elementary school that had good teachers and a great group of parents. Unfortunately, the school district shut it down. That’s when our main problems with public school started. My son went to public middle school, but that was a mistake. My daughters went to private middle school. Our kids go to a private Christian school now.
