I'll admit Public Education is somewhat a sham, I'm not in a state where we have Teacher Unions. Benefits are minimal, time-off is generally the same as students, and I'm blessed to still be getting paid during this pandemic but I received a $6500.00 pay cut and still responsible for paying $2000 for licensure course cost this year. Not everyone in public education is a progressive commie, actually I don't believe politics should be allowed even on a bumper sticker in the parking lot where public education is concerned. But it is what it is I guess. We were in person learning until the week before Christmas break and so for no one is coming back until after the 11th so far.
i agree -- no politics in school unless its in a political science class and opinions are discussed -- not forced. Good luck when school starts back up. I'm all for tech, but in-school learning with other children is vital as far as I'm concerned
It's not just that politics are directly discussed in school. The textbooks and other materials are prepackaged to teach them versions of history that are dumbed down, simplified, and steer them towards communism.
I agree. I'm in a non union state and until my kids hit middle school it was a very good program. The teachers I know are very good. School board, superintendent not so much. Thanks for being a good teacher.
I have no problem with politics in schools IF parents can spend their voucher in any school they wish, public or private. Decisions need to be made knowing the cashflow is potentially I impacted.

Even then it should be about how politics works and not ideological discussions.
