So this is not a certified curriculum. It’s from a website of teacher made material. Website is teacherpayteacher.com. Not saying there is commie stuff out there but this is not official school district curriculum.
True, however I wouldn’t doubt if some lefty teachers stole it and use it as an assignment. I don’t know about all teachers, but back When I graduated high school in the early/mid 2000s Most teachers made up their own assignments, quizzes, etc. And rarely, if ever relied on premade material.
The few teachers that relied and some sort of premade material are we sure the least interest in caring about teaching and even responding to questions appropriately.
No, she didn't steal it. That site is a compendium of worksheets that teachers can pay a subscription into to have access to worksheets -- that other teachers and curriculum organizations -- have submitted. Some are made by teachers themselves; some are submitted by organizations. There is a problem with relying too heavily on premade material (although I've used other teachers' material that isn't copyrighted myself -- if anything for ideas for teaching an assignment; just like I had to submit my own work to compendiums myself -- yes, had to: when I worked for a private education company that was part of the contract -- any material I made was owned by them). A lot of the younger teachers are told about this -- you don't have to make your own material, just check the copyright laws to make sure you aren't breaking those -- so they don't even look into what they are printing out...if it's on the website, then it must be ok (kinda like how people take in their news).
So what you are saying is it's possible for us to make additional training materials and publish it on there to combat those training materials. About how teaching kids to be critical of the media, using examples like George Floyd's 2019 prior arrest video where he munches more pills in 10 seconds than pacman on level 255 when the police roll up.
Guys, I am BEGGING you to understand: there is no such thing as OFFICIAL curriculum. There is a process for selecting textbooks, but there is no limit as to what ADDITIONAL RESOURCES a teacher can bring into the classroom; almost every contract I've ever seen has a clause that allows a teacher methodological freedom.
Understand this: the public education system is a JOBS program for adults; both for the adults it keeps employed directly and for the 14-18 year olds it keeps OUT of the workforce.
There is no way one principal (who is usually the ONLY immediately dismissable employee at a school) can supervise what is going on in 20+ classrooms all day long.
Administration lets teachers do what they want as long as it "looks" okay because firing any teacher with tenure is such a HUGE pain in the ass it's not worth it.
Think about it this way: there are tens of thousands of hungry adults who'd like to be teachers. There are also tens of thousands of teachers that are mediocre at best that could be replaced by said lower-paid, hungrier teachers. Yet it never happens.
I can almost guarantee your kid has had a shit teacher, and yet that shit teacher is allowed to diminish the educations of 30+ kids a year, every year, because administration is willing to sacrifice your kids to keep their job. (200 if you're at a high school).
I keep saying it, but I'm going to say it again: pull your kids out of public school. Homeschool.
The only way this changes is if the school districts bleed cash.
School choice is the second best option, but that is going to be a longer fight and may not save YOUR kids now.
I agree mostly. A deeply entrenched, tenured teacher can do almost anything to curriculum. Non tenured will tote the line of normalcy, if they are smart.
It only takes two years to get tenure. That's roughly 360 days that you have to be on good behavior.
Not all teachers are lunatics, but because I'd tenure protections and the absolute shambolic nature if the system, those who are get cover and those who would toe the line otherwise feel comfortable pushing their views on a captive audience: our children.

It's not official curriculum and it's FULL of LIES too.
Homeschool or Christian school your kids, and thats coming from an agnostic
