Teacher Tells Student He Can Be Arrested for Speaking Ill of Obama

[The T]

Most public ed teachers are quite good...

Then they would have no problem competing for a job in free market education.

"Public educators, like Soviet farmers, lack any incentive to produce results, innovate, to be efficient, to make the kinds of of difficult changes that private firms operating in a competitive market must make to survive." Carolyn Lochhead

I also think H.L. Mencken got it right:

"The aim of public education is not to spread enlightenment at all: it is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed a standard citizenry, to put down dissent and originality."

Precisely. Breed good workers and stifle dissent on any level.

These are the loons 'educating' American Children. This Socialist/Progressive Union dunce truly believes this child should be arrested for having an opposing viewpoint. What a mess the Democrats have made of our Public School System.

You're comparing the entire public school system to something ONE bad teacher has done? That's a pretty big generalization don't you think?

If the Republicans were completely in charge of the public school system, there wouldn't BE a public school system and none of these kids would ever be in school at all. How's that for generalization?

Half the children in Florida can't read. Is that the fault of republicans?

They share most of the responsibility for decimating education spending, increasing class sizes, relying too much on FCAT, creating these charter schools which have been a monumental failure (at least in Florida), and diverting Lottery money to other pet GOP projects instead of what they were meant for: education.

I think H.L. Mencken and Carolyn Lochhead got it completely wrong but why don't you tell us what these two suggest as an alternative?

History of education in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The first American schools in the thirteen original colonies opened in the 17th century. Boston Latin School was founded in 1635 and is both the first public school and oldest existing school in the United States.[1] Cremin (1970) stresses that colonists tried at first to educate by the traditional English methods of family, church, community, and apprenticeship, with schools later becoming the key agent in "socialization." At first, the rudiments of literacy and arithmetic were taught inside the family, assuming the parents had those skills. Literacy rates seem to have been much higher in New England, and much lower in the South. By the mid-19th century, the role of the schools had expanded to such an extent that many of the educational tasks traditionally handled by parents became the responsibility of the schools.[2][3]

Why do you hate the founders?

 

[Buford]

The one teacher represents a lot of bad teachers, because they are endemic to our schools system.

Yup, off to the Gulag for this student's 'Re-education.' This 'Teacher' should be fired. But don't expect that to happen. She's very likely well protected by a despicable Teacher Union.

The OP lied about what this teacher said, you dont care about that do you?

The teacher is a damn idiot. Case closed.

This teacher said that people can be arrested for criticizing Obama. Why do defend her?

Would the Founders stifle speech...?

 

[BlindBoo]

So what? There are stupid people everywhere you look.

Obamabot deflection-mode. Don't bother. You wont get through. Nice try though.

 

[Buford]

So what? There are stupid people everywhere you look.

Yep. Thanks to the unions who take dues to give to the Democrat party to keep the faithful entrenched in our education system to keep churning out educated dummies who are not allowed to question.

Free market education. Choice. Competition. Diversity. Consequences when you fail, rewards when you succeed.

You want to give poor people money for education, fine, make the case. But the idea that government should run the entire education system, from what's in the text books to how many tater tots are served at lunch is insane. As with any government monopoly, the results are piss poor and costs far outpace the rate of inflation.
