There are only 2 kinds of government teachers:
1) Bad Teachers
2) Enablers
If you’re part of the government school system ( in any way) you are part of the problem.
There is only one solution:
CLOSE down government schools!
Remove your own child.
Organize with others to form church schools.
Organize with others to elect representatives who will padlock government schools.
As far as this story, I was appalled when I read it. At the school where I teach, this would NOT happen, and simply because we are concerned about the well being of our kids. It's not Utopia, and there ARE teachers who don't have the well-being of children foremost in their minds, just as there are no perfect employees in ANY company. I have nothing against home-schooling, however I have seen bad parents attempt to homeschool and cause a child more harm than good. To scare the crap out of kids and calling it a "lesson" is ridiculous. You teach kids by discussing, showing, modeling, etc., but not by turning out lights and screaming and hollering and telling them they will die if they don't learn a lesson.
