I am so glad the GOP has decided to massively increase spending on the publik skewls.
Who cares where Louisianna is?! When your feet get wet you know you're there.
The important thing is that kids learn about the dangers facing our society because of thing like global warming and landfills. Students must also learn about tolerating things like fairies.
Why don't teachers actually teach reading, writing, history, math - that old-fashioned stuff which could actually be useful in GETTING A JOB and EARNING A LIVING. With all this cr*p about recycling plastic forks, it's no wonder the only 18-year-olds who know where Iraq is are our Marines, God bless them.
Since they won't know much else, learning how to wash things will probably be a useful job skill for them.
Then I read on. Earth heros??? Ha!!! They'll need to be tree hugging, earth lovers, because when they can't read or do simple math or find Louisiana on a map, they might be living closer to that earth than ever imagined. Kind of like our early settlers did. While the teachers (I know, not all) who instructed them thusly retire on their union fed pensions. What a shame.
YES.....OUR Tax money at work....

You know, as a teacher (volunteer, one small group, once a week) and a parent, it galls me that subjects teachers should be teaching, things they were themselves taught at a young age that enabled them to attend college and become teachers themselves, are not being taught, depriving kids from the opportunity to reach that same position themselves as adults, or at least stunting that growth. These adult teachers seem to be thinking like the children they teach and teaching what they wish they were taught as kids, instead of the things they were taught, even if they didn't appreciate it then. What will these kids be qualified or able to teach? Recycling? Well, the need for remedial or basic adults courses will soar, just so they can catch up.
I tell my relatives who are in public schools...."YOU are being CHEATED."
The young don't need to be taught to care. They are naturally idealistic. They need to be taught to think.

'Gay History' Pushed in Calif. Textbooks

Why should students know where Lousiana is when they can learn all about alternative lifestyles that are just as equal as other lifestyles?
Our gubmint schools are not there to teach the three Rs anymore. They are there to indoctrinate them in multicultural perversion.
This story serves as a wake up call for people to pull their children out of the indoctrination system and place them into private, parochial, or homeschool.
What our gubmint schools are doing is teaching these young skulls full of mush to worship the Earth and nature which is what the pagan relgions used to do. And I thought there was supposed to be a separation religion and state.
Give me that old time religion, it's good enough for me!

Well, public schools need to teach students to care...
because otherwise, they try to simply turn out uneducated amoral sociopaths.
That have a great future working for one of George Soro's organizations.
Ha! It reminds me of this Christmas with my liberal family. My nephew (2 1/2) was playing with his new garbage truck. Good, I thought - a sufficiently manly activity for a little boy (much better than his "Baby Elmo" - that thing scares me). Then my brother walks over and starts "teaching him to recycle". My folks were fawning over how he's learning such great things. And I'm thinking - isn't it about time for him to start learning his letters? How about learning about the real world - what garbage men do.... Sigh...
My homeschooled kids know about recycling. They know, "Take the newspapers and plastic jugs and stick them in the recycling bin." Lesson done.
It's a combination of sympathy and hatred for children like this. They know not what they do. I had a friend whose 10 year old niece like this. She would yell at family members if they drank beer, yell at them for not recycling, chastise them for just about anything you can think of. The most unbelievable thing is that they didn't smack this little girl on the behind and tell her children should be seen and not heard.
