Teachers Celebrate Death of Charlie Kirk

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

You get really nasty when people don’t want to keep funding a failed government education system.

Is there a psychological reason you have to levy the personal insults?

They can fund their own child's education. I should have my tax dollars educating the next generation of terrorist or religious nutjobs!

The other poster earned the insult because he is a liar, and I wasn't talking to you! You on the other hand are just ignorant of reality.

Look, we get it: you are mad that people have figured you out.

In most cases, the schools are the parents! Ask any teacher about their success at contacting the parents of the students.

In my inner-city middle school (boys only), I taught over a hundred kids. Do you know how many parent-teacher conferences I had where either one of the parents showed up or even the biological parents? I think the number was about 5 over three years and in one case I taught two of the boys for two years. I spoke most often to aunts, uncles and grandparents. I had students where I could not communicate with the parents or even the student himself because Catholic Charities saved these families from the mountains of Burma where they spoke a language unknown to the outside world. We had no translators, nor could we find anyone who would serve as one. How well did that kid do compared to your private school student?

You would really have liked on of my major discipline problems. He was a young refugee from Liberia. Despite their country speaking English, his mother was barely literate. Then we found out the reason for his refugee status. This kid's father was the leader of a Marxist rebel army attempting to overthrow the democratically elected government. That kid wound up being the reason I left the school.

That is the reality in those schools.

What about the poor but BRILLIANT kids who are being held back by the low caliber of the public schools? Our country is falling further and further behind. We need to give the exceptionally bright but poor kids the best chance to become the engineers and scientists.

The poor but mediocre kids will still have the option of public school.

I didn’t realize he taught in a government school. Now it makes sense.

He also has a temper. NOT a good trait for a teacher.

Have the private schools sponsor them with scholarships. Charities could do the same thing.

We are falling behind because society has abandoned their values. Education suffers because of it and not vice versa. Personal responsibility went out the window a long time ago and the slide has continued.

Government schools are liberal indoctrination camps with the overriding goal to turn out young Democrat voters and any objective to teach kids to perform basic academic functions is a distant second.

That will not change. We need to give middle-class and working-class parents the chance to get an education for their children.

My temper was acquired long after I was teaching by having to deal with educational experts like you two, who pontificate about the problems with public education without ever getting your hands dirty. I was one of the most liked and respected teachers in my school and when I was an administrator, I was one of the junior assistant principals but the parents in the school thought I was the principal because she was never around when needed.

As you can see, your mileage may vary depending on your personal habits. When I left teaching after 21 years, I decided to start calling spades a spade. Those of you "experts" on education that infest this board, do more damage with your ignorance than should be allowed of any adult.

Some schools are better than others. My high school was about average, but compared to other parts of the country, we were exceptional. Jacksonville has three of the top 100 high schools in the nation on US News and World Report's listings back when I taught there.

I read you saying. Your high school though average was a vast improvement over other public schools. When I graduated high school in 1956, the school was much like a university. Distant students were bussed to the school. I was very proud of that school. Then it was destroyed by workers and a new school took it's place.

It doesn’t take an expert to know that a 13% proficiency in English in my old high school (where 50 years ago, 90% went on to college) and that not ONE single high school student in all of Baltimore scored “proficient” means that the government schools have failed.

 

[Robert W]

Wow, you really like to lie! Homeschooled kids don't take the same tests as public school students, and we did not discourage parental involvement. It is simply not required like it is in private schools. Once you send poor students to these private schools, do you think they can maintain their standards without making those requirements?

Is there a psychological reason for your intent to deceive?

This is no deception. One of this nations best catholic private schools.

Baltimore and your school have nothing to do with nationwide performance.

You went to school before we even educated kids with disabilities and learning deficiencies. When you went to school, most kids did not come from broken families either. Things change.

Why did you classify your school as average yet far better than hundreds of public schools?

You say on the forum your experience at a public school was very miserable so you quit. But you defend the same school from the looks of things.

Bullshit.

Pardon the voice of this reporter.



A college instructor and a high school instructor. The high school instructor actually taunted the children he was supposed to be educating, if they were "MAGA."

My profession is sullied by people like this so often that I sometimes contemplate leaving it. But then I remember who I would be leaving the students with.

I got my teacher's license and tried many years to try to get a teaching job only to be continually denied, I just gave up and went into a different profession.

... Then I look at these complete idiots they hire for teachers, and I just wonder what they were thinking when they hired them? Who could be so incredibly stupid to make such comments like that too kids? We seriously are hiring these idiots to be teachers?

Just out of morbid curiosity, what area of certification were you trying to teach?

That sentence is not phrased as a question.

to-too-two

Again, that sentence is not phrased as a question.

I pray to God that it wasn't English.

I have a pen pal from Holland who wrote today telling me that Charlie Kirk was a bad person. How the **** would she know anything about it?

Thank you.

These teachers need to be fired at once. I wouldn't trust them around my kids for sure.

I'm sorry to hear you did not get a chance to teach. I took an alternative certification course in my early forties, in yet another career change. I didn't get hired, and only got called in for one interview for the first school year after I became eligible. It was just sheer luck I found a job the next year. I love it, and I can say without bragging that I'm good at it, but it almost didn't happen.

Are you male? I think that is what held me back. I didn't have enough advanced hours in a core subject to teach high school, and it was mostly women at the lower grades.

BTW, I'm a Trumper but I would NEVER bring my politics into the classroom.

 

[Robert W]

Bullshit.

Wondering about you. Would you claim that schools (supporting democrats) support Republicans?

Does any public school support Republicans?
