Those are some keen observations and I think you're exactly right.

All the more reason to homeschool.

As a small heads up, it is typical to post a link to the article.

Not to pick a nit, but this isn't really Front Page News, is it?

These values include socialism, anarchism, atheism, anti-Americanism and disrespect towards private property.

This writer is an idiot. My wife is a public school teacher, she doesn't hate parents, but she does have an awful lot of kids who don't get much in the way of parenting at home, and are unresponsive to requests by teachers to get involved in their kids education.

I move that Emil Levitin be ordered to volunteer in a public classroom for one year before writing any more columns about public education!! ;-)

Are you basing this on your own experience with public school? Can you be more specific with your examples?

[Mad Dawg]

I don't know about "most" public school teachers, and I wonder if the writer does. I DO know that the ones I know are troubled because the parents of the children they deal with don't want to be parents -- or to do the work of parents. They want the school to provide baby-sitting and a pleasurable experience for their little ones. Any actual learning that takes place should not interfere with the baby-sitting or pleasure, but is rather a collateral benefit.

In the world of the educrat (or any other liberal) children are the property of governmet. Parents are the enemy.

You are totally full of it.

Most public school teachers hate parents for interfering with their instruction of the 'proper values' like anti-Americanism and instead teaching their children faith and a love for their country.

Thank you. Now I understand why those parents were so upset when that teacher was taped yelling at the teenagers who wouldn't stand for the Star Spangled Banner.

NOT.

I read this article, or a twin in Newsweak. I notice it has no section on how teachers should behave toward parents.
Maybe that will come next week in the companion piece "Why Parents Hate Teachers."
