All I can think of every time a lame incident like comes up is how fortunate (lucky) I was compared to kids today that I attended the schools I did, when I did. Us students back then had a blast and interacted with respect and admiration for our teachers, some even becoming long time friends into our adulthood. The teachers during my school years even into college did not ram their "personal" agenda's down our throats, they taught students, they encouraged students, like teachers are suppose to.

Well, this is what teachers should do... I must also say that my children had such teachers...

So things are not yet as bad as some want us to believe...

There are still a lot of those teachers out there, but with the media (and some of the education liberals) focusing on the bad things, you usually don't hear about them. That is the only thing I teach for--to hopefully make a positve impact on some child's life.
