“Right, that I’ll never be elected to the school board :-)?
I think that things went much better when schools, public or private, emphasized appropriate behavior rather than warm, fuzzy feelings and politically-correct attitudes. Everyone, students and employees, should be required to act like ladies and gentlemen. If that’s enforced, then it doesn’t matter what anyone approves or disapproves personally.”
Well...I doubt you’d be elected...but any school board would be LUCKY to have you!
:-)
I’m sure they don’t want me either...
LOL!!!
But, what I really meant was that I completely agree with your statement on discipline and warm fuzzies!!!
We find the same thing in coaching...
My hubby taught the soccer coach to say “EYEBALLS!” to the kids and then the kids look at the coach and say, “CLICK!”...
Too funny...
(I guess 18 years in boot camp also need to learn how to listen :-)
Good one! If it wasn't the end of the year, I'd try that with my Sunday School class.
This is why all K-12 education in the U.S. must be privatized. Why?
For a school to have discipline and order, that school **must** restrict free speech, free press, free expression of religion, and free association. Also, all education has a religious worldview. It is impossible to have religiously neutral curriculum and policies.
Therefore....When government attempts to run orderly, safe, and well disciplined schools they step in a great big pile of First Amendment dog pooh.
Government schools, freedom of conscience, and the First Amendment can **not** coexist!
