Don't get me started on living conditions for us, on base, because I will blow a fues. If the military had 1/2 the funding the schools get, maybe many of would not have to live in homes that would already have been comdemed in the public sector. Thanks for the article.
Teaching has 2 major objectives.
The first of which is to pass on the heritage and culture of a society, by way of history, literature, and language.
The Second, by developing character, strength, and knowledge; the student becomes a productive member of society.
That the teaching “profession” has let itself down does not equate to a ‘teachers redundancy.’
Whether Aristotle, The First lady, or a humble Grandparent, the wisdom attained by the process of teaching is invaluable and eternal.
A teacher teaches Children or young adults to learn techniques which will be constructive to them or to society: how to play a musical instrument, how to read and write, how to repair a car, how to fight, how to swim, how to bring up children, how to grow food, even how to use a computer and log on to FreeRepuplic.
The demise of education got us into this hell-hole. At the moment, it is up to the military to get us out of it.
However, I believe it will be the battle for the hearts and minds of our children that will be the mother of all wars.
Whether the classroom is at school, college, university, military base, bedroom, church, beach, car, the internet, television, prison, or the deathbed, I hope the message is without ambiguity.
Good MUST defeat evil.
Honey you don't have to tell me anything. I am married to a retired marine will celebrate our 43 anniversary next month, but we went down that same road, I also have two sons who are marine vets.
Now my one son is a cop and it's pretty much the same story but as he says at least he had the military experience to get him accustomed to it. 75
