Abolish any subject that has the word “studies” in its name.

OK.

If you don’t believe that the old textbooks didn’t have political message you’re either ignorant of their content, dishonest or an idiot. Neither of the three are admireable.

A double negative and a misspelling in one “sentence.” Public schools are great!

Also, “neither of the three.” “NEITHER OF THE THREE.”

libfree, really?

Even as a kid in high school we figured that half of the teachers were dropouts from other majors. They couldn’t cut it there so they just got a teachers certificate. The teachers who wanted to be teachers as a vocation were the best, the rest were just there.

Obama has a fix for that, now they can just go on permanent disability and never have to work.

We had one in Junior High that became a teacher because he failed at being a stand up comic. That’s what you have to fix IMO.

Back in the olden days, teachers would not have dreamed of telling your about their personal beliefs.

Best teacher I ever had.

While the liberal viewpoint is prevelant I think the problem is the caliber of some of the teachers. We had one in Junior High that became a teacher because he failed at being a stand up comic. That’s what you have to fix IMO.

Yeah, gosh darn those kids learning about the world and how to care for their fellow man.

Yes, because I want some bureaucrat deciding what constitutes “caring for your fellow man.” I’ll teach morality to my kids thank you very much. You teach them how to read, write, and do arithmetic.
