Do you homeschool?
You better believe it!
If you can't appreciate the pure beauty of the violin after hearing this, something's wrong with your ears.Or you can get raw with these strings. Either way, the violin is sweet yet lethal.
Do it!

All Marxists LIE!
( I refuse to call them “liberals”.)
Anyway...I value your opinion.
Here is a link to my vanity essay, “The Mythical ‘Good’ Government Teacher Lives in the Land of Unicorns”:
Any so-called conservative who is still using the collectivist government schools is a poser.
The only “good” government school teachers are the ones telling parents to get their children out ;-)
Thanks - cool that the New York Times was acting like... well, like what we think the New York Times should act like..
<:(
Super probably got it for the district’s high scores.
So...you don’t believe that some teachers might be trying to change the liberal overbalance from the inside?
Oh, geeze! Scratch my above post! I didn’t see to whom I was writing!
They need to be hit hard by RICO, pay massive fines, and be imprisoned
There are two aspects that must be addressed. They are the godlessness, and the fundamental collectivist foundation of all government schooling.
First the godless problem:
By **law** government schools are godless. Any teacher who attempts to teach from a God-centered point of view in any effective manner is breaking the law. The children will conclude that Christians are law breakers and the teacher will soon be fired.
If a Christian teacher attempts to sneak in a little Christian belief, enough so that he won't lose his job, he is teaching the children that Christians are sneaky.
Finally,...Anything that a Christian teacher might sneak in would need to be very generic and lukewarm. It would need to be merely to accommodate the many denominations represented by the children sitting in the class. What does Christ do with the lukewarm? He spits them out of His mouth!
The Christian teacher also risks teaching the children that Christians are hypocrites for taking money from a fundamentally godless school system that stands in compete opposition to the core belief of Christianity ( that God lives).
Now, to address the socialist-funded, compulsory, and collectivist foundation of **all** government schools:
Merely by attending children learn to be comfortable with government force taking money from their neighbor for a tuition-free service. They learn to passively submit to the government's collectivist voting mob.
Again if the teacher were in any manner effective in combating this he would already be fired. If he attempting to sneak in conservative principles he is teaching the children that conservatives are sneaky and hypocrites, as well.
While the conservative may touch the minds and hearts of a handful of children, teachers ( as a group) are fundamental to the very existence of collectivist government schooling. By joining the ranks of government teachers, the conservative is **willingly** agreeing to uphold, establish, and support these schools. Merely by attending children learn to be comfortable with socialism, collectivism, and government compulsion.
Conclusion: Any Christian and/or conservative who believes they can make a serious difference by teaching in the government schools is a Useful Idiot. It is like fighting a raging, godless, collectivist forest fire with a water pistol.
Again: Every bit of the above GENERALLY applies to the godless and collectivist nature of ALL government schooling. My comments are NOT NOT NOT directed at any specific individual here on Free Republic.
