Some of my best teachers were noticeably conservative without expressing biased views. Like my US History teacher, she was a bombshell, and I hated history before her class. She raked me over the coals for making a 5th amendment joke, both in the hallway and after class. She taught me the importance of US history, the constitution, and our founding fathers.
I still visit a teacher that I've known for around 40 years. We discussed how things were when I went to school. Teachers weren't allowed to inject politics or there would be hell to pay.
We had conservative and liberal teachers, but you really couldn't tell in the classroom. They taught the material and let us think for ourselves.
I go to church with my old 4th grade math teacher. She was great. I miss my US History teacher, not because she was hot (that was a bonus), but the way she taught was captivating, almost enthralling. She was interactive with people and it felt like she genuinely cared about her students and wasn't just there for a paycheck or to robotically read from some pre-planned script/lesson plan from the DOE.
Very few teachers can do a good enough job to inspire teenagers who already hate school. To really learn, enjoy it, and retain it. Not just do the work just for a grade so you can pass the class
I zoom w/ our teachers regularly cause I have a kid in special Ed. In TX we've been in class for damn near the entire time, I think 2 months remote. As a point of politeness, I've thanked them and told them how much I appreciate that they are doing in classroom and not forcing remote learning. After we get to talking about it, the teachers, principle and I even got the state Dept of Ed head one time and they talked about how absolutely pissed they are at how other states Ed Depts are making them all look like dickheads w/ their striking and refusing to go back to work.
I believe teachers should be paid well because they are charged with educating our children. I also believe that we should get rid of tenure and pensions. They should be held accountable the same way anyone is for their job. Shitty job, you’re fired! Higher pay, hopefully creates competition for better teachers.
Yeah, no. There are still great teachers out there that don’t indoctrinate the kids. That type of all or nothing “fuck the teachers” shit is ridiculous.
And there are great cops out there. And yet, we still have an entire police force full of cops willing to enforce unconstitutional laws and teachers brainwashing children. So your anecdotal example doesn't hold up.
Fuck the Teachers, how about all the people who contribute more to society than programming children to worship John Money and Karl Marx?

My teacher taught us that Abe Lincoln was a democrat...it's that bad.

You wouldn’t put the dozen good apples you have in the same container as the rotting apples now would you ? Thats what we are doing with our kids.
