You know, I have been a Freeper way longer than I have been a teacher, but I must say that as a teacher, I'm growing a little frustrated with some Freepers. For months I've been reading outraged postings about teachers and school districts who crack down on boys who sexually harrass girls because they are too young to know better and we are criminalizing them. Now comes this piece claiming we do nothing about it? Pick a lane and drive:

Either teachers are waging war against conservative values by attempting to eradicate natural masulinity, and that's why our schools are no good, or we are caving to brute masculinity, and that's why our schools are no good. But I do not see how it can be both.

No kidding. I think the government school system is an abject failure and that most school teachers are incompetent liberal morons (obviously, convervative teachers are excepted). But this article hardly explains anything.

I thought female school teachers were supposed to hate boys and hold them back to spite them? Pretty sure I’ve read that one. Or get them put on ritalin. Not reward bullies.

The logic here is just nonexistent.

I can see how it can be both.

Little kids playing kiss-chase or (as in one famous case) flicking each other on the butt as part of a game: - this kind of behaviour has been unnaturally oppressed by PC authority figures in schools for being some kind of “sexual harassment”. The hysterical over-reaction has included the turning of six-year olds into registered sex offenders.

Whereas one kid punching another kid is the kind of behaviour which should be always prohibited and controlled in a properly run school environment, not enabled or appeased.
