It irks me to no end that on a subject like a prescription drug, you have to jump through 7 years of experimental and proving trial hoops, but for some starry eyed bullshit a teacher dreams up, with a few votes, it gets to get tested out on your KIDS.
My wife was, as a child, a straight “A” student, until some criminal moron in the Fremont CA school district decided that putting some star pupils in with the remedial/screwup classes would “rub off” on the losers. You can guess at the result of that, (though in spite of it, and not getting a college degree, she made it to corporate controller level in accounting).
ANYTHING other than how kids were taught the basics and problem solving along with shop skills 75+ years ago should be off limits until at LEAST ONE GENERATION of teachers and administrators children have had it “tested out” on them.
“Old School” worked, along with discipline in school. “New School” merely produces (for a large and increasing part) mindless consumers and statist voters...
Same here but the Keyboard kammandos keep forgetting that. My father went to an All boys vocational school that had a "Beauty" contest which his best friend won. I am glad those yearbook pictures weren't in color.
This school looks like a magnet school on the southeast side of Milwaukee. I consider this lesson a form of child abuse.
Yes, in high school in the 1950s, we occasionally had “dress up” days, or Senior prank day, where some of the football team dressed up in sweaters, skirts, and strategically placed balloons with mops on their heads; but it was all in fun. Nobody was FORCED to participate.
Only once though, if the head is a shaped charge with a self-forging penetrator...
No. It will suck your Teachers #### day...
homeschool indeed....my 3 were - instead of gender bender days of “learning” (cough cough) in the classroom, my kids learned by travel - multiple times to Africa for example - Europe, Carribean, etc, - and not the touristy places either - the real continents....great hands on experience. Just had coffee with my oldest yesterday, talking about her trip to Normandy on the 60th Anniversary of D Day.
But I digress....
Yes, but at that time, in that setting, it really could be looked at with a smile as good clean innocent fun. Nothing about gender in public schools now is innocent. Surely you know that.
Excuse me, but who do you think you are to tell me what I should know?
I actually find it rather amusing how all you homeschoolers like to come across as if you know everything there is to know about public schools and dismiss what those of us actually involved in public school know to be true.
I'm not buying it. You like to think you know what is going on, but in reality all you know is what you are told by those who agree with you.
Well, I was just making a little flip comments, but since you've declared war:
The only discussion here is how badly do you want to be flamed and embarrassed...taking the public school side against homeschoolers here on FR. And BTW, I know exactly what the hell is going on in public schools...and of course have to continue to fund them. Their arrogant and ignorant teachers and administrators are everywhere, the pathetic work product is everywhere, stories about the bullsh-t that is taught in them goes on anywhere. They are, after all, PUBLIC Schools, and just because I didn't send my children there, does not mean I am no longer part of the public.
And while we're at it, you referenced a parochial school in your own background, so WTF are you doing now as the public school queen?
Nah, keyboard commandos well aware that a lot of things that were innocent back in the black and white photo days.....are not the same anymore.
Thirty nine years ago was 1974. I went to Catholic school in the 1960’s and 1970’s. My kids went to public school and graduated from high school 5 or so years ago. The difference is like night and day. Public schools today are nothing like Catholic schools in the 1960s.
As I said you don't know me, if you did you would know I have nothing against home schooling and am very supportive of it. What I am not supportive of is the offensive attitude some FReeper home schoolers take toward those of us who have made different choices for our children.
And while we're at it, you referenced a parochial school in your own background, so WTF are you doing now as the public school queen?
Yup, 12 years in Catholic schools and I wouldn't change the education I received in high school for anything, however that was in the 70s and in NYC - 2 places I do not care to return nor take my daughter.
The way I see it is you made choices you felt in the best interest of your children, just as my husband and I did for our daughter and I really don't give a rat's rear end what you think of the choices we made. You don't have to agree, but that doesn't make our choice any less in the best interest of our child - because that is the point, she is our child, not yours.
Catholic schools today are nothing like Catholic schools in the 1960s and 1970's. The world isn't anything like it was back then, either.

I agree. The new schools, or the schools today for the most part are psychological hell holes.
Teachers on strike. Nothing more needs said.
Yep. Liberals on the lose .... /s
Apparently not...it's trendy and visionary...
Yet another naive jack*ss...
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
