Yes, I am a teacher - and a very good one as it happens.
And because I am a teacher I believe it is possible for a teenager - and that is what this woman was at the time she committed this horrendous crime - to turn their life around. Whatever they did.
Nonetheless there are certain things that are so horrendous that they can't be forgiven by society and this seems like one of them.
Therefore I am conflicted.
And you are very foolish and deceived by the society in which you live, to hang onto that kind of believe system, my friend. YOU are the problem with this country, and with the justice system, made up of juror members who do not respond in human form to evil.
You are NOT a good teacher, if you think there would ever be any kind of excuse or rehabilitation deserving of such a wicked, despicable crime against the innocent. Too bad you would have a totally different view if the victim was your own child or grandchild.
Nope, I wouldn't want you ever teaching my kids anything. There really IS a difference between good and evil, right and wrong. You, my friend, probably blur that line in other areas of your life as well.
That woman should have never seen the light of the day the rest of her natural life, after commiting that crime. She gave up her right to her own freedom the moment she chose to cut up that precious little girl.
The end.
From time to time I click on teachers posts, something I shouldn't do. This time the source was hidden.
The spinelessness that's common to such threads causes me to alternate between blind fury at what teachers are teaching our children, and absolute dispair at how we allowed such amoral wimps to get such a stranglehold on our children.
Homeschooled kids are our only hope. Most of the rest are being taught to nothing of value. Your posts are just another in an endless stream of confirmations.
