How nmany clasrooms have you ever managed?
I had 22 years experience, and let me tell you you don't know anything about a classroom.

My, my, my, aren’t you touchy!
Looking back over your posts on this thread I detect a bit of over emotionalism. I don’t see ANYWHERE anyone said you WERE/ ARE/ or HAVE BEEN a member of the NEA. But be that as it may, I did not either.
The assertion that you use the SAME excuses as NEA, does not make anyone a member of that group does it? NO, I thought not.
Tell me where it has been actually posted that you are a member of said group on this thread? No one said “SoftballMominVA” is a member of the NEA. NO ONE.
Show me where I said that you are a member of the NEA.
I did not. You like to imply lies don’t you?
The real problem you have with homeschoolers is that they do not buy, repeat, quote, or believe any of the usual nonsense that passes for eduspeak buy those who think we should just shut up and sit still and take the crap the government indoctrination centers pile onto the tax paying citizens of this nation.
We are not going away, we are here and educating our children, and the precious education edifice of BS will fall someday.
Deal with it.
As far as emotionalism, yeah, maybe, but I'm passionate about what I do as a teacher of learning disabled children. If that is my worst mistake today, then I'm feeling pretty good about myself. At least I don't stoop to childish chiches such as the "walks like a duck.." and "aren't we touchy?" the use of yelling through all caps, and sly insinuations of another conservative poster's motives.
Tell you what - I'll live with my fault of being somewhat over-emotional, but I'll happily take that over your immaturity.
We are not going away, we are here and educating our children, and the precious education edifice of BS will fall someday.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Hopefully, sooner rather than later.
The sooner the Citadels of Corruption fall the fewer the number of damaged children.
By the way, my tag line states: “ Good ideas win! Why? Because people are not stupid.”
Now that we have an open and free market in ideas, I know that the corruption of the government school will lead to its own downfall. Why? Because people are NOT stupid.
Please read message #94.
I have also sent you a private message.
Your comment about “immaturity” is uncalled for.
Knock it off.
*********
I am sick and tired of the high handed tactics that some use around here. It is repetitive and demeaning.
********
It is you that is doing this.
I saw that. It is very frustrating.
What’s funny is ya’ll are jumping all over her as an NEA shill for suggesting, GASP, that parents have a role to play in a child’s education. In this same thread, I suggested bad teachers deserve most of the blame and GASP I was attacked for being an NEA shill.
Please learn to disagree respectfully and avoid such ad hominem fallacies, thank you. If everyone resorts to such ad hominem debates, real discussion is impossible.
Ah, yes, the lets jump all over on the false pretext.
If you can’t be respectful, then I would say your post is worthless. Talk about ad hominem!!!
Good Day to you!
bump to read later
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
No one here has used the word “shill”.
But,,,I have, and will continue to point out, arguments, that to me, sound like NEA talking points.
Please explain to me how this can be “disrespectful”?
By the way, there are distinct differences in the words “disagree” and “disrespect”.
The dumbing down is accelerated by several factors. First, education schools mostly get relatlvely low-performing students. Second, education schools don't teach education, they teach indoctrination. Third, the inferior graduates of these education schools then teach the next generation, which falls even further behind. And so on.
I know there are some great teachers out there, and there are even some great schools where such teachers can thrive. But such cases are rare.
I know there are some great teachers out there,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Those “good” teachers who aid an abet the government schools are enablers. They are putting a dead horse on life support and dragging him around the race track.
In fact, “it do be hugh!”
A never ending downward spiral to functional illiteracy.
“A never ending downward spiral to functional illiteracy.”
Yep. All at taxpayers expense. And at the expense of the futures of all of those children not taught the basics.
