It's no fun but somebody's got to do the monitoring...after all there are many of us who are trying to defund this bunch of lefties.
I listen as I correct student papers. Double whammy.
A conservative listening to NPR - and a teacher. Something is not right with this picture.
Hopefully your conservative persuasion makes itself felt in the classroom. Not indoctrination like the lefty teachers do - but a balanced discussion to show the heads of mush that there are two ways to look at most things in life, and that the conservative look is usually the more powerful.
Cheers and good luck...
