If your students know your political ideology, your a crappy teacher. There are a lot of crappy teachers indoctrinating our youth, infecting their young minds with liberalism.
Eh...wot?

Lugnut and if they are indoctrinating them with Conservatism is that ok then?
Nope. Go back and read the first sentence. The one where I said, "If your students know your political ideology, your a crappy teacher. "
Eh...wot?

This is one of the biggest lies told by some of folks who call themselves conservatives. I hear the talking heads on foxnews say similar things every day. The last thing most of this type want is an educated populous-they are threatened by anyone who does not believe all they believe themselves.

I am very pleased with the education my sons received in their public school. The oldest earned his masters last May and is making over 100K in the medical field(PA). He did very well in a very demanding major. A couple of his High school buddies have been bouncing from job to job and are constantly whining that their poor education is what holding them back. Their parents bash the school too. These young men had every opportunity that my sons all did. My two younger boys are also doing very well with their college pursuits. Their teachers played a huge part in that.
I was talking to one of the guy's father a couple years ago. He said he couldn't believe kids could afford college or even trade school. This guy bought his kids ATVs, pickups when they turned 16, and never made the kid hold a job, even during summer breaks. My sons worked at least part time since they turned 16.
Most of a kids education is like everything else in real life-you get out of it what you put into it. If the kid hears his parent constantly blame the school system for his problems, he gets a different kind of education that often follows him through life........ Very often, a poorly educated kid is a poorly parented kid too.
Teach your kids a work ethic and expect them to do their part in everything they do. Teach them to listen to the opinions of others, but be sure they know that they must do their own thinking. When they get a little older don't be too disappointed if the see things differently than you do. It could just mean you did a good job. And do not teach them to look for somebody else to blame when the come up short. Not accepting responsibility may be American's biggest problem in more than just education.. sent you a pm regarding your son that is a pm - my daughter is looking into that.

Normal full time is 2000 hrs
Teacher 3/4 time 1500 hrs You are so wrong on so many levels. You can't put a time frame on the hours they work. Yes if you are talking about the pe teacher that leaves before the bell rang. Then has NO papers to grade because tossing a ball up in the air and bouncing on one leg is not a class. It's pretty obvious the PE teachers are failing because of all the FAT kids running around. My wife taught HIGH SCHOOL algebra for 29 years. I saw the late nights grading exams for 300 students. The countless hours making lesson plans. With all the kids and parents blaming the teachers because their einsteins can't pass a common exam she retired . Started teaching at a local college . TOTALLY different. The students want to be there not forced. AS for pay ,with the amount of college she had to take in order to work her way up the pay scale ANY job in the private sector would have paid double. Triple? Sky the limit. But she wanted to help kids to succeed and make a difference . Then it felt like the kids no longer wanted to work for their success they expected it because of whom their parents where.

I don't know about that, every school has teachers with opinions and them teachers past the opinion on the the students, That's a fact. You dont think all the liberal thought just came to the kids by them selves do you? It isn't just political stuff even animal related. You can bet that alot of the major schools are pushing kids to help animals when they can. If they can put a soft spot in there heart. It will be that much easier to get them to vote to end trapping and hunting. Surely you can see that

A teaching degree is the easiest college degree to get and the people getting them have below average SAT scores. At or near the bottom. Hard to soar like an eagle when your workforce are turkeys.

"Here" teachers are the highest paid of anywhere,.. and they still claim if only they were paid more they would be better teachers. Same here. A friend pointed this out to me one day , look at your local town/city budget. About 60%-65% of the the budget goes to the schools , the lion's share. However , look closely to the other side of the budget , everything else. There is usually debt or other things directly related to the schools , maybe funds for a new parking lot at a school or roof repair. Now figuring in that , the school system is getting 70%-75% of the budget. But they always want more. Good teachers are rare and worth praise , most good ones leave for better jobs. I would not want to be one nowadays , the inmates are running the asylum.

My favorite is when people say they are glorified baby sitters and should be payed like it. I agree. Average babysitter gets payed what, $20 a night.
So lets say teachers should get $30 a day for "babysitting each kid. Say they have 18 kids on average. That's $540 a day. With 175ish working days that's $94,500 a year.
So for those that say they get payed plenty, pull your head out of your rear end. My wife teaches, I have a teaching degree but chose to do something else. WAY more work than most people could understand. It all depends on where you live. My neighbor's son is a teacher at a state trade school , does drafting CAD/CAM. Also coaches after school hours for extra pay. He makes $140k

My dad, who was a 6th grade graduate, made it clear to me that my teachers all deserved my respect. But he also stressed that they are not always right just because they are a teacher. He always encouraged me to contest anything that did not pass the smell test.....but do so politely. I'll bet he was a good man. One of my favorite teachers was also my grade school principal and I loved the guy. He's gone now but I still interact with his kids on FB. They must cringe when they see me attacking the educational establishment and mistakenly think I'm attacking their father. Nothing could be further from the truth.
