Woodbridge wrote t'Eleano' Roosevelt who in 1953 puh'suaded da damn 81st Congress t'proclaim some Nashunal Head homeboy Day. Slap mah fro! NEA along wid its Kansas and Indiana state affiliates and da damn Dodge City (Kan. 'S coo', bro. ) local lobbied Congress t'create some nashunal day celebratin' head homeboys.
Congress declared March 7, 1980, as Nashunal Head homeboy Day fo' dat year only. Slap mah fro!

De NEA Representative Assembly den voted t'make da damn Tuesday uh dat week Nashunal Head homeboy Day. Slap mah fro! May 2005 2005 Nashunal Head homeboy Day B
ROFL!
The NEA:
"Protecting Mediocrity Since the 1800's"
"They teach because that is what they chose as a CAREER. Appreciation day for them should be the same as anyone else, payday."
You make a good point here but the importance of their job can't be discounted. They spend more time with our children than most working parents (in waking hours) and have an awesome responsibility. I'll thank the ones that do a good job and roll my eyes at the ones that don't. What we really need is a "Wake up the Parents Day" so I can go around town and slap all the parents who never get involved in their kids' education. Unfortunately, I'd run out of gas before getting around to them all. There's 600 students in our high school. Six parents showed up for this year's final PTSA meeting/open house. I'm sure the no-shows are blaming the teachers for the lousy education their kids are getting.
LOL.
Thanks........... I love that song sung by him.
I was going to change my tagline to either:
Can we stop looking for the blue van now? ........ or
Barbara Boxer combs her hair with a firecracker.
;-)
LOL, I like both of them.
It is a responsibility placed on them by society in the late 1960's they never should have accepted. They are teachers not substitute parents. Their job is to pass knowledge to these children. Teaching children the wisdom how and when to to use this knowledge is the awesome responsibility of parents. I resent any teacher who wishes to pass their morals and beliefs (even if I agree with them) on to any child. It takes a village to raise an idiot. It takes responsible parents to raise a decent child. Schools should never be used to solve our social ills.
I wish I could find my seventh grade algebra and social studies teachers. The classes were great, I still remember what they taught me, and though I didn't put it in action for years and years, they taught me how to think.
William McMurray and Mr. McNair at Herring Run. Those were the last teachers I remember who made a public education worth anything.
I would like to thank them all. When I was going to school teachers confined themselves to the subjects they taught. They gave me skills for life. The only intrusion they made into my parents responsibilities was to make me and my fellow classmates behave in school. We had to be polite and civil to one another. We also had to be respectful to adults. I would like to thank my teachers for doing their job and expecting my parents to do theirs.
Yes, let's thank them for having sex with our kids like these bimbos out west have been, let's thank them for looking the other way when a girl is sexually assaulted in an auditorium like in Columbus Ohio. Great idea....thank them by yanking your kids out of the public school system.
I'll thank my good teachers I've had, but I don't have much thanks for these administrative jokers around here.
"They are teachers not substitute parents. Their job is to...
Very well put. Although I can't say I resent teachers who want to pass on their morals and beliefs to students. That's human nature and makes for some stimulating conversations around the dinner table when the kids are telling us about how school went on any given day. I consider those conversations more valuable to their education than any subject matter they study in school.
The way I phrased it I have to agree with you. My problem is the teachers who use the authority given them by parents to educate our children in the skills they will need to try and force their morals and beliefs on children. Force being the word I should have used.
