Yeah, I know. My mom is mostly the same way, just a bit more on the moderate side.
Thanks for the post. I actually know a small handful of decent teachers, too.
Still, "33% of the NEA members voted for Bush" means that 67% voted for Kerry. That's pretty sick.
I sympathize with you. Perhaps, however, it is time for the good teachers to start doing something about the bad ones, and the predators among your ranks.
You more than anyone else has the power to correct this. From the tone of the posts in this thread, it seems it is not long before someone is going to start asking questions about what the heck is going on. And they won't be asking it just of the ones that are bad.
There are some very bad apples. And it is not just one or two. It is darn near the entire bushel.
Something must be done to stop this. Children's lives are at stake. Will you continue to post here that "it is not me, it is not all of us." Or come Monday morning will you take action to correct these dispicable activities.
In other words, how do you feel about the Catholic priest that knew what other priest were doing but did nothing about it?
"However, there are a few of us out there who still believe in family values."
And Bless you for it.
It strikes me as odd that people are quick to broadbrush all public school teachers yet hesitent to do so with other institutions when perverts are found.
The Boy Scouts for instance.
I still can't comprehend how people think people who happen to teach their kids at home are exempt from perverts among their numbers?
