Kathy, much of he problems in the
country today are being created by
the teachers who are mostly liberals.
They are brainwashing the kids
DGPEDDLER - AT FIRST PASS, I WOULD HAVE TO AGREE WITH YOU. THERE IS A LOT OF NEGATIVITY BEING DIRECTED AT TEACHERS THESE DAYS. THE LIBERAL HIGH SCHOOLS, AND ESPECIALLY THE UNIVERSITIES, ARE DEFINITELY LIBERAL AND I ADMIT THEY DO TRY TO INFLUENCE THE STUDENTS WITH THEIR LIBERALISM.
FROM WHAT I KNOW ABOUT LBJ AND HIS "GREAT SOCIETY," IT SEEMS TO ME THAT WAS THE BEGINNING OF THE END. THROW MONEY AT EVERYONE WHO IS POOR AND WE WILL HAVE SUCH A GREAT NATION.
BEFORE YOU KNEW IT, WE HAD BABIES GIVING BIRTH TO BABIES BECAUSE YOU COULD COLLECT SO MANY GOVERNMENT BENEFITS FOR HAVING A CHILD. THE SO-CALLED FATHERS WERE SO BUSY SPREADING THEIR SEED AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THAT THE CHILDREN GREW UP AND CONTINUED THE FAMILY LEGACY.
WHEN THE FAMILY DETERIORATED, SO DID THEIR VALUES,MORALS AND EXPECTATIONS IN LIFE. THE WORST THING THAT COULD HAVE BEEN DONE WAS MOSTLY ALL OF WHAT LBJ ATTEMPTED TO DO. $$$$$
I THINK AS THE YEARS PASSED, OUR SOCIETY EXPECTED LESS AND LESS FROM ITS CITIZENS. THEY WERE ON THE DOLE AND LOVED IT. BUT HAD THAT BEEN THE WORST OF IT, WE STILL COULD HAVE SURVIVED, IMO.
WHEN YOU DO NOT HAVE FAMILY SUPPORT, ALL BETS ARE OFF. I HAVE ALLUDED TO THIS MANY TIMES. FIRST, THE FAMILY BREAKS DOWN. THEN YOU HAVE GENERATION AFTER GENERATION THINKING THEY ARE ENTITLED, AND EVERYONE BUT THEM ARE JERKS AND IDIOTS. THEY THINK THEY DON'T HAVE TO LISTEN TO THEIR VERY YOUNG MOTHER (IF THEY ARE EVEN GETTING ADVICE), THEN IT'S CLASSMATES, THE NEIGHBORHOODS ARE NO LONGER SAFE.
AND THE TEACHERS ARE SUPPOSED TO SOLVE THESE MANY ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS. THEY ARE NO LONGER JUST CHECKING FOR SPELLING/GRAMMAR ERRORS, OR TEACHING MATH, SCIENCE AND ENGLISH, BUT THEY BECAME SOCIAL WORKERS OVER THE YEARS, IN ADDITION TO "ADOPTIVE" MOTHERS DURING THE DAY. THEN THEY BECAME TRUANT OFFICERS BECAUSE THE KIDS DID NOT WANT AN EDUCTION. AFTER THAT, THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TEACHER EXPLODED INTO TEN TIMES OF THEIR ORIGINAL TITLE AND JOB DESCRIPTION.
YOU'RE ABOUT 70+ IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY. DG, TIMES HAVE CHANGED SO DRAMATICALLY (AS IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT ALREADY) THAT TEACHERS HAVE A VERY HIGH PERCENTAGWE OF GIVING UP THEIR CAREERS WITHIN 5 YEARS OF THEIR INITAL EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT. MORE AND MORE OF THE CONTINUITY OF THE CHILDREN'S EDUCATION GETS DIMINISHED, ON TOP OF ALL OF THE OTHER PROBLEMS I LISTED ABOVE.
IT IS HORRIFYING WHAT SOME PARENTS WILL ALLOW FROM THEIR OWN FLESH AND BLOOD. AM I SOLELY BLAMING SOCIETY'S PROBLEMS WITH TODAY'S YOUTH ON THE PARENTS? NOPE, BUT YOU JUST CANNOT PUT ALL OF THE BLAME ON THE TEACHER, EITHER.
HOW ABOUT FEAR OF THE POLICE? YOU USED TO RESPECT THE COPS, AS DID I. TO THIS DAY, I TREAT THEM, AND MOST OTHERS, WITH THE RESPECT TO WHICH THEY ARE DUE.
NOW WE HAVE THE "YUTE" (YOUTH) OF AMERICA RALLYING WITH THE WORDS, "FRY LIKE BACON" REGARDING THE POLICE.
WHOM DO THEY RESPECT? THE ANSWER, IMO, IS N.O.B.O.D.Y.
I SAW A POLL THIS MORNING ABOUT THE NFL PROTESTS. AS FAR AS PUNISHMENT AND/OR EXPULSION, THE YOUNGER GENERATION THOUGHT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH TAKING A KNEE DURING A FOOTBALL GAME. NOW, WHAT I DID FIND INTERESTING IS THAT MOST PEOPLE 65+ THOUGHT THAT SOME KIND OF PUNISHMENT WAS WARRANTED. I AM PRETTY SURE YOU AGREE.
DG, IF YOU HAVE 60 COLLEGE CREDITS, YOU CAN APPLY TO SUBSTITUTE IN A LOCAL SCHOOL.
I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD DO THAT FOR AT LEAST ONE DAY, IF THEY CAN LAST THAT LONG.
IT T'AINT WHAT IT USED TO BE! I SUPPOSE, AT ONE TIME, I HAD THE SAME GENERAL NEGATIVITY TOWARDS TEACHERS AS YOU AND RIBIT HAVE, BUT I VOLUNTEERED IN A SCHOOL. AS I SAID, IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK. MAYBE MICRO CAN WEIGH IN AS HIS DAUGHTER IS A TEACHER. OR AT LEAST, SHE WAS.
I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND HOW I FEEL.
I DO RESPECT HOW YOU FEEL, EVEN THOUGH I DO NOT AGREE WITH IT.
IF YOU CAN READ THIS, THANK A TEACHER.
SINCERELY....
I HOPE YOU ACCEPT WHAT I AM SAYING THE WAY IT IS INTENDED: THERE IS A LOT OF DEDICATION IN THOSE SCHOOLS, AND A LOT OF HARD WORK.
