I hate to generalize about teachers but why do they knuckle under to these kicked-in-the-head descontructionist ideas? Who thinks up these stupid ideas in the first place? Does no one have the sense to refuse to implement this garbage? Does anyone remember the disastrous "new math"? These obviously destructive curricula are signed on by administrators and implemeted in the schools without the slightest evidence that these things are anything but destructive.

Teachers as a class must be dumb as rocks. Or gutless wonders who will pass on any filth to out children just to keep their crummy jobs.

I guess I'm being too harsh. How many parents have the guts to say no to the Ritalin pushers, give up a few personal luxuries and put their kids in private school? A few thousand parents demanding the dismissal of these educrats would work wonders I bet.

I have two beautiful little granddaughters ages 6 and 3. I have already told my son and daughter-in-law that I will make sure (financially) these kids continue to be enrolled in Christian school, just as they are now.

The public school system will be the major cause for the destruction of this country if it is not changed.

Some of the private schools are just as bad as public schools.

I only taught for one year, 1987-88, but you're not far off my most generous estimate of my peers that year.

Also, the number of them that just flat hated kids was staggering. I mean, if I hated horses the last thing I'd do is take a job at a riding stable, ya know? If I hated the smell of diesel fuel I wouldn't become a bus mechanic. Why do people that hate kids become teachers?

My guess: when they are young kids in the bottom quintile of their college class, the idea of a job with all summer off to party sounds really cool.
