I sure as heck did not vote for the current Socialist politicians who are responsible for this nightmare. That was the product of the liberal idiots who take the leftist media at their word uncritically. But I am suffering under their policies, as are thousands of other teachers. In my own classroom, I still stand up for moral behavior (e.g., I pull grappling boys and girls apart, I advocate modest dressing and march up and down aisles during test to forestall copying).
If I am to SURVIVE to fight another day—vote out these amoral liberal filth—I have to continue to support myself and my family. I hate having to pass kids who don’t deserve it, especially knowing that they KNOW you have to pass them and therefore they don’t have to do much in the way of work.
It’s SICK, it’s anxiety causing, and it’s directly a result of liberal politicians deciding in their ego mania that THEY know best, even about subjects about which they are ignorant. Education run as a business, never mind the kids. Kids are NOT widgets!
Nice try.
Just who DID you 'vote' for?
"WHen they came for the Gypsie's, I didn't speak up for I wasn't a Gypsy."
The wolf is at the door; and he is VERY hungry!

The following applies to all government schools and is a **general*** comment about the entire institution of government school teaching:
Did you read anything beyond my first sentence? Here is is again:
Government schools are **collectivism**. They are the very definition of a compulsory funded, compulsory-use, single-payer SOCIALISM! They have **always** been this way! They are build on a rotten foundation of socialism.
So?....When teachers play with a socialist snake they should not be surprised that the snake bites them. In this case, ( there are many examples) it is lie, hand out false grades, cheat on tests, or get fired.
ALL government teachers, whether they chose to play with the government school socialist snake 50 years ago or yesterday, **knowingly** chose to play with that snake!
At first Obama care won't be that bad due to the values of those trained in the old system, but in a generation or two that is when we will see the true horror of socialized medicine. And...Every argument used to defend government schooling or reform it will be trotted out for Obamacare. Bet on it! Unfortunately, it will then be a life and death matter, not a question of a fake grade.
It is the inevitable result of all socialist-entitlement programs. Socialism always results in people being treated like widgets.
And...All the problems we see in the government schools will happen in Obamacare but the consequences will not be a fake grade or cheating on a test. It will mean life or death for the "widget".
