Brainwashing Little Children
This is why I absolutely refuse to give "teachers" a free pass when it comes to criticism. I know it's unpopular to bash "teachers," it's like bashing nuns, and I know there are "good teachers" out there but some are no where near as honorable as nuns. They are on the front line of this battle and have no moral qualms about brainwashing little children. And while some may be good teachers, I remember most of mine to be pathetic, inept 20 somethings that didn't give a damn about educating children, but rather were looking for an easy career path than didn't involve calculus;

ReplyDeleteIf I were that kid I'd refuse to let them take the pencils I wanted.
ReplyDeleteDamnit, they were silvery. I don't want the normal yellow ones.
Pft. I've got no problems with bashing teachers - they're almost as bad as those goddamn nuns.
ReplyDeleteThe criticism should be valid, though, and avoid generalizations. This incident is an isolated case - it's unlikely that more than a handful of teachers engage in such behavior. While I'd be all in favour of advising children to hoof the teacher in the gonads if he/she ever attempts to "redistribute" their crayons, I don't think this is something to worry about on an institutional level. There are much bigger problems in the educational system which ARE institutional.
This is why parochial schools, private schools and home-schooling are all growing.
ReplyDeleteThis is also why we need vouchers - to help fund effective competition and alternative to the systemic problems in the public schools.
Alex, this is not an isolated case. It's system-wide, and has been for a couple of DECADES. Indoctrination, not education, is just one mission of government schools. That is why I taught my children at home.
ReplyDeleteRefuse permission in writing at the beginning of the school year. If they go ahead anyway, file criminal charges. Robbery seems appropriate - great disparity of force, teacher on a small child.
ReplyDeleteWell, the math teachers might have to know calculus...
ReplyDelete(Well, I'm sure my high school math teachers knew calculus.)
Did you know that many schools (even here in Montana) are requiring a "community service" credit to graduate?
ReplyDeleteUsed to be that a high school diploma meant the bearer knew reading, writing and arithmetic, plus some history.
BUT NOW, new and improved, it shows that the bearer knows how to use a BROOM and a RAKE (screw that other crap)!!! Woohoo, I'm sure all those tech companies will be just beating down the doors to get our graduates!
My daughter's school and the school my wife teachers at both do this, but it's not for indoctrination. It's because the schools don't have the money for supplies for everyone.
ReplyDeleteOf course, the question is worth asking, "Why should the school have to supply pencils and paper?" Because socialism is a creeping cancer, of course!
I'm not sure which reason is worse. That the government would be indoctrinating students (which they already do), or that they'd throw billions of dollars at "education", feel obligated to provide supplies, and then not be able to provide fricking pencils.
I just send our "allotment" of supplies, and then buy our daughter her own. The system sucks.
