“... They cooperate with evil...”


I think there’s a difference between wrong-headed and evil. People have been trying to figure out the best way to impart knowledge into kids’ minds for a long time. Just because a method doesn’t work or doesn’t work as well as hoped doesn’t mean it was deliberately created to not work.

Speaking of evil and hurt, when I started teaching paddles were in every classroom. We were actively encouraged to use them. However, their use was less than when we were students, and far less than when our grandparents were students. Today corporal punishment is banned in many states and discouraged in the rest. So today’s discipline is far worse than it used to be, but teachers are no longer allowed to inflict actual pain on students. Progress or no?

To equate “government teachers” with abortion workers is a bit over the top for me, but to each his own.

When the physical “board of education” was taken out of the classroom and schools the learning environment went from a structured, orderly one to one of disruption and violence.

“wrong head” or evil.

Does it make a difference to the child who is crippled by illiteracy? It is evil to continue with practices that has such devastating consequences for a person’s **life**!

Yet....Every day government teachers cooperate with this **evil**! They do it for money. No one is holding a gun to their heads.
