No. He just wants to talk at you. This person educates our youth. Terrifying.

 

Great job on your thoughtful response to his links though. Most wouldn't waste their time on him.

 

Sorry... my time is better spent teaching our youth and planning curriculuum than spending the hours you guys spend here in your mutual admiration society.

 

Addressing points to people who will never change their minds on something they're so stubbornly clinging to is pretty pointless, anyway.

A riot, coming from the person claiming this earlier.

Talk to me about a ***** circle jerk. Didn't even have the gall to quote me.

Last week or so, you ambled in here and called PPP a circle jerk. You claimed that nobody bothered to discuss issues.  People actually tried to engage you in a discussion of issues and you ran off for awhile. Then you came back and claimed that this place is still full of negativity. You got into a discussion with someone who actually read your links and described them to you -- because you obviously didn't do that. Your response is (a) everyone posts links without reading them and (b) you don't have time to discuss things. 

 

Great. Thanks for dropping by, Mr. Honest. 

 

OUR youths' time is NOT better spent having YOU teach them if this is an example of your ability.

Excuse me? You have no idea what anyone on here does for a living. Don’t give me this self adoring ‘teaching our youth’ medal of valor.

LBSeeBallLBGetBall insulted my professional integrity and I said absolutely nothing about what anyone else here does for a living, just that many of you seem to be here a large portion of the day.  And then...

great, he inflicts his rubbish on children, threatens to fail them or punch them in the face if they disagree

 

No self adoring medal of valor, just a reality of what I do and the demands of time in doing it if I want to be good at my job, so...

Transplant, I’m sincere in saying I’m sure you’re a dedicated professional educator. My wife is as well. But never forget that while she’s home for three months of summer vacation, I’m still going to work 10 hours a day, as are many of the hard working folks on here you appear to be lauding your ‘public service’ over.  We’re ALL trying to make this a better world for this and future generations.

 Thanks for all you do...no disrespect intended.

There's a reason homeschooling is such a huge part of our country's educational fabric. Americans no longer feel guilty when they don't equate a soldier with a teacher. 

 

There was a time.

 

Not anymore.

 

If you have a school age child, you owe it to yourself to do WHATEVER you can to pull them from the public education system and either homeschool them or get them into a private school where you are directly involved with the curriculum. 

 

Or...let someone like @transplantbillsfan educate them and watch the growth of another mindless snowflake who doesn't understand why everything isn't free.

Thank you.

 

And I meant no disrespect about other's professions, but my integrity and ability in my own was attacked.

 

And for the record, I haven't had a summer off in 15 years of teacher.  I worked Summer School for my first 14 summers. Living in Hawai'i is expensive and even though teacher salary numbers might look high to someone on the mainland, they aren't when you understand cost of living out here. 

 

This is going to be the first Summer I'll finally not be working Summer School because my wife and I are a little more financially comfortable.  But we get 2 months, not 3.

My siblings and I went to a Catholic school. My father and aunt each taught for 35+ years.

At dinner this evening I asked my niece how school was going (she's an ESL teacher). She said they have started looking for private schools for her daughter. The daughter is two... no way is she going to a public school.

I could never have homeschooled; I'd have killed my son (that is not as much hyperbole as you may think). He went Catholic/private from preK-12.  We chose private knowing he needed someone to sit on him (the typical smart but unmotivated, he'd rather have been playing a sport).

So, going back a lotta years, I would not send a child to public school, and that was while my father was teaching in the system!! And while he was teaching in the system, he would not send his kids to public school, and that is going back even more years. I can only imagine it is worse today (and I live in a "desirable" school district).

Okay bro...  whatever you say...

 

Guess my 2 students who just told me they got into Harvard got an utterly crappy education at my school, which is a public school.

 

You're right, though.  Take your kids out of public school and homeschool them.  They don't need real friends or social skills, anyway.

 

The public school system needs fixing, that's for sure... not the kinda fixing DeVos is doing, though.
