Have Republicans mortally wounded the Teaching Profession in this country?

[rdean]

If you believe what Republicans have said about education and teachers, who would want to be a teacher?

They are overpaid, can't teach, they teach communism, they're greedy, they don't work and they shouldn't be teaching "critical thinking skills" that indoctrinate children.

In fact, according to recent suggested Republican policies, they should be "armed" and used to "watch over" children.

Republicans have used the last 5 years to smear and demolish the teaching profession. President Reagan said unions are a "right" and yet, Republicans have worked overtime to destroy teacher's unions. Not negotiate with, but detroy.

And you have those like Santorum saying education is for snobs and that it's an insult to those without education to want it for everyone.

And look at Texas with their "anti thought" party platform.

And the way Republicans have "rewritten" history books.

And their attitude towards science.

And the weird way they keep insisting most Republicans have degrees. Very weird. It's like insisting most scientists are Republican even though, from every indication, Republicans think scientists are overpaid, worthless and only make money off government.

We know that there are 3.7 million unfilled jobs in this country because companies can't find the skills to fill them. But if Republicans continue to go after teachers, doesn't that ensure there will never be the skills available?

With everything Republicans want to tear down or defund, where are their plans to "build"? And won't teachers be needed to teach people to how to "build"?

lol, homosexuals last week, teachers this week.

Is there anyone who is not a "victim" in the eyes of a liberal?

what a sad and depressing bunch of people they are

Dems have had a stranglehold on the teaching profession for three generations but Dean is so insane that he instantly associates problems with his demon Republicans

Well let me tell ya..

I taught BEFORE the GOP declared war on educators and the teaching profession was already fairly sick.

 

[squeeze berry]

it's a bipartisan cluster fuck

Look at these right wingers. It doesn't matter the subject, their answer is the same on every one.

Tear it down.

Get rid of it.

Don't fund it.

It's awful.

And sometimes, a very few times, they say "fix it".

And how do they propose to "fix it"???? They don't. GO BACK to the good old days is not a "fix" or a solution. It's a delusion.

And this "get government out of the way"? It's worse than retarded.

We know we have nearly 4 million jobs just sitting and waiting for someone with some skills. These right wingers say, "Let business do it". And the solution of business? Move the jobs overseas.

And after the jobs are gone, these right wingers say "See? Education failed". No it didn't. They did. In fact, they did both. They failed at helping the country and suceeded in causing even more damage.

Your are wrong again rdean.
It's not that teachers are overpaid. It's that their pension payout is not able to be sustained. The Union demanded too much pay and the pension fund was not paid for.
We are teaching them how to learn ( like parrots) and not how to think. We need to go back to teaching our children how to think.
Santorum never said education was for snobs.
He called President Obama a snob.
What he really said-
“Not all folks are gifted in the same way,” Santorum told a crowd of more than a thousand activists at the Americans for Prosperity forum in Troy, Mich. “Some people have incredible gifts with their hands. . . . President Obama once said he wants everybody in America to go to college. What a snob.”
Some are not college material and do much better going to technical schools not colleges.

Just like the left keep saying that Sarah Palin said you can see Russia from my house. It was said by Tina Fey in a SNL skit. Sarah Palin never said it. Sarah did say you can see Russia from an Island in Alaska. Which is true.

The Leftytoons did that a long time ago.

Obama said he wanted everyone in America to be able to get an education and qualifed that with technical schools, Jr. Colleges, and Universities. He said no company will turn over a million dollar piece of equipment to someone without training.

It's a case of Republicans, fucking bastards, twisting his words again, just like "you didn't build that".

And what are GOP solutions? You seemed to have missed that part. As usual. Republicans have no solutions. As usual. They only know how to rag on others and tear down. They build nothing. The want to contribute nothing. They want to help no one. Not even themselves.

this is coming from someone that calls anyone that disagrees with him a racist, bigot, homophobe etc.

Not all thanks for being your usual self and lumping everyone into one category.

edit to add

the right blames teachers, unions and liberals stating that school choice and privitization is the answer

the left blames racisim, classism, sexism, the right and christianity

both sides are short sighted,and yes I have answers

If "Dems have had a stranglehold on the teaching profession for three generations" why aren't more Republicans going into teaching to change that?

If teaching is so easy with 1..no, 2...no, 3...no, 4 months vacation why aren't more Republicans going into teaching?

"Mortally wounded". More crazy inflammatory speech from the left.

They had the voucher program and it was working very well in D.C. then Obama canceled it until the people made a stink about then he allowed it back.
The Repubs wanted vouchers for all the schools and the Dems didn't.
Anything that works and give us more choices and freedom the left are against it.

Because the Dems who are in control won't hire them that's why.
Just like Dems won't hire more Republicans in the News and Newspaper jobs.

I heard this guy on Big head Ed's Shultz show today.
His answer to fix all our problems... Spend.

Spend on Infrastructure....big projects,high speed rail,improve the highways,bridges
build new airports.Re train Americans....

In other words spending fixes everything.

We are way beyond broke now as it is and Democrats want to spend more.
