Another good question is why some people are so maniacally obsessed with teachers.
Here's why: they are the point of the spear either to educate and make students good Americans,....
....or they are are 'obsessed' with turning out America-haters, and Democrat voters.
...
That kind of character development (or lack thereof) happens at home, not from an hour or so in front of a teacher (the vast majority of whom do NOT so much as mention politics in class).
Are you actually claiming not to realize the leftwing plummeting of the school system????
I am actually telling you that the teachers I work with are interested in helping students succeed, and nothing else. I'm telling you that there is no time in the typical class for promoting politics even if one were so inclined. I'm telling you that over 27 years of teaching no administrator has ever so much as suggested promoting any political point of view to students. I'm telling you that the anomalous anecdote here and there does not prove any universal practice or dark conspiracy among all teachers and all schools. I am actually telling you that you are looking with alarm at social and cultural decay many, many decades in the making and trying inaccurately to ascribe it to one source. I have told you before that the problem is much bigger than you seem to be willing to recognize. Maybe focusing on just one Boogeyman makes it easier to manage the fear.
"I am actually telling you that the teachers I work with are interested in helping students succeed, and nothing else."
Totally subjective.
The results on international tests tell the important truth about the failure of the profession.
That's a fact.
