With these teachers drilling this and other out right lies into our children heads the only thing we can do is read the lies in their text books, confront the schools then the school boards. That is what I do and I'm not nice about it.

If this is the crapola the left reads it's no wonder they're all frantic and crazed

If you feel it necessary to discredit teachers, all you need to do is show that the teacher's copy of the lesson-book has all the answers in the back of the book.

That in no way discredits teachers... Though it may discredit those too lazy to be familiar with their own subject(s)....

The answer key can be a valuable resource to lend credence to a teacher's statements... It can also be used as the "ultimate" authority should a conflict arise... Alternatively, it can be used to prevent teachers from adding their own interpretations of subject matter (English, history, social studies, etc...)

A teacher is not there merely to provide answers.. But to guide students on their quest for understanding...

What is supposed to be and what is are rarely the same.

When I was in the first grade, the teacher wrote on the board, 1+1=2. I asked why that was 1. She said, because it is.

Math and I remained estranged for the rest of my educational experience because a subject that simply was because it was made no sense to me. I was in my 30s before I needed to understand how to calculate wind drift for piloting an airplane.

I invented a procedure that worked and showed it to an engineer friend who was also a pilot. He said my process was called trigonometry. I had heard the word but never bothered with it because it was not a required course. Apparently, I invented trigonometry about 3000 years too late to get any credit for doing so.

That experience finally showed me that math was not just an arbitrary exercise that led to a keeping a checkbook and earning a diploma but was actually a rather clever way of expressing/understanding the world. I learned a lot about math after that.

Too many teachers are more ignorant than their students and too many think far too highly of themselves. Not all, but far too many.

I had a similar experience with linguistics..

And I agree wholeheartedly with the above statements

Too true. But there are some EXCELLENT teachers also. I was lucky enough to have a couple. Ironically enough, in school systems it's often the politics that make so many teachers disenchanted

In both the sixth and seventh grades I was lucky to have two of the greatest teachers I have ever known.. True educators...

Both of them retired early...

The education system in BC (and Canada as a whole) is so different (broken) from what it used to be that I pity the true educators stuck in it...

While there are many dedicated teachers, there are quite few who take a teaching position because they can't find a job anywhere else. Our education system is a mess. Social engineering, and garbage like this, has supplanted education.

Too true...

My oldest boy taught himself to read when he was 4 years old (Sesame Street). He dropped out of high school in 11th grade. He had a series of bad teachers. I wanted to intervene but my wife begged me not to; she feared intervening would make things worse for him.

The teachers he had were some of the worst you could imagine. Some of the students had more maturity than the teachers. How some of them got credentialed I cannot imagine.

Yes, and they’re guiding them in the wrong direction. Not educating...brainwashing!

I suspect that the indoctrination institutions are gradually programming people to accept genocide as the perfect solution.

Warmth love and respect for individual existence is being replaced with so called New Age enlightenment.

In short, the Almighty Creator and his wisdom has been expelled from the indoctrination centers.
