On November 17, 2018, Rodney Robinson, who was just named 2019 National Teacher of the Year, spoke at a TEDx youth conference in Richmond, Virginia. Robinson, a black social studies and history teacher at a Richmond juvenile detention center, opened his remarks with a lead-in to his main topic: a racist America. If, as Sean Hannity says, "journalism is dead," after listening to Robinson, we can safely add, "Public education is dead."
There is one phrase I hate more than any other phrase in America, and I'm sure a lot of the young people in this room can relate to this phrase, and that phrase is "back in the day."
Why does the 40-year-old teacher of the year "hate" this phrase? Well, it has to do with those obnoxious parents and grandparents — you know, the ones who fought wars, raised families, went to church, and slogged off to work every day. They are full of baloney, according to Robinson, whose grade school–level prattle belies his achievement of a master’s degree. "Back in the day," Robinson jokes, they tell their kids and grandkids we didn't have "Mybook or Snapgram," and "we had to be in before the streetlights came on."

Anyone who has his children in public school is committing child abuse.
The Long March through the institutions.
They weren’t kidding. Breitbart had a kind of analogue “Infiltrate a revered institution, kill it, gut it, wear its skin as a suit and demand respect.”
It’s OK to yearn for simpler times like say, the 1950s. It doesn’t mean anyone is a racist or a Nazi White Supremist. Don’t let the perfect get in the way of the good. They do this ONLY because they are unable to compete in the realm of ideas and reasoning based on facts and logic. It is the argument of a child.
Leftists are brain damaged, by definition.
I was mainly responding to the poster that mentioned most teachers being hired were pursuing masters degrees. IMHO teaching is a talent. . . in some cases a gift from God.
No degree or lack of can “turn someone into a teacher”. I have taught with geniuses that couldn’t get the point across if you know what I mean. You have a right to be proud of your children . . . .and yourself for a job well done.
You need to tell the lazy sh*t to get his @$$ in gear and give you some grandkids!
Some of us are so smart we forget our actual design purpose. Tell him to watch the movie "Idiocracy."
Agreed
