Now where's Agna when we need him?
Here's an observation from a recent escapee of the public school system, take it for what it's worth...
Some people here are complaining about liberal indoctrination in schools, let's call them complainers.
Some people are happy about the job schools are doing, let's call them happyests.
Has anyone noticed the correlation between the happyists and a liberal political leaning? The bias here seems pretty obvious to me, if a happyist is a liberal why would they be upset if public schools were indoctrinating kids with liberal thought?
Just seemed kinda obvious and wondered why no one had said it. Maybe it was so obvious it went without saying (until now! )
Anyway... I didn't feel like there was a huge liberal bias in school, but I did feel like most of the teachers didn't care much and that it was just a job to them. I got through school with mostly Cs and Ds and the occasional F. I might have got a B once or twice, I don't really remember. I never got an A. I could have only put in less effort if I didn't go at all. I don't think I was ever in any danger of not passing to the next grade.
But maybe worse than not caring was the teachers that would tell me things like it was ok because girls aren't as smart as boys, or that it was alright because I was pretty or had a good personality. Or the teachers that obviously hated us and would make sure to put us down in front of the class or be passive aggressive toward us. I liked seeing my friends and hanging out but I hated the school part of going to school.
