It’s easier to parrot some online thing, yes, because teaching is not about the students. I’s about staying out of trouble with the feds who run the schools.
They have infected and overtaken Texas schools. CSCOPE is a natural progression.
I know a child, a valedictorian, majoring in History at University. Her mother had to pay her Univ. Freshman summer to read a western civilization tome. The child had been taught in some big stupid football school, the athletic field rivals the Meadowlands, History of the world via Asia. Not one course on Western, European, Christian, Catholic, Roman, Greek course and on her way to infect the university with her brainwashed idea of inferiority of western civ.
Her parents astound me. Pillars of Catholic life here in town. Why do parents allow this?
Glenn Beck can’t do everything.
Anyway, we can pretend Texas is safe at our own peril.
Parents are in charge of educating their children. They need to act like it.
“Parents are in charge of educating their children. “
I couldn’t agree more. Parents are the front line of education and increasingly have to counter the pablum and propaganda fed to their children - just like the mother you talked about.
I was observing my son’s classroom several years back and some counselor was talking to the class telling the students that everyone deserves respect and other kumbaya stuff.
I surprised myself by standing up and telling the class that everyone deserves politeness, but respect has to be earned.
