I was in public schools from 1961-1973. The teachers I had for the most part were the kind people wish they were today. Stayed late to help a student with subjects they struggled with. Bought lunches for kids who couldn't afford them, and kept their political opinions to themselves. In 1972, I had a liberal literature teachers. Prior to the election, we asked him who he planned to vote for, (knowing it wasn't Nixon), and he said, "my political persuasions have little, if anything, to do with your passing this class!" Rest in Peace, Mr. Edmonson.

Mr - that's why you had a good experience. There are way too many females in the education system now. The only two teachers I had which were worth a damn were men who were not afraid to speak the truth. They taught you how to think critically and question everything. They hardly taught from the book. Every female teacher I had was only interested in the paycheck and summers off.

The teacher who taught me to think critically, was my mom. Just sayin.

She was also your mother. My mother was a teacher as well so I have insider knowledge of what it's really like in our education system. I've also worked for Higher Ed my entire life. It's full of lazy slackers - holds true any time you put federal funding into something. You don't need to produce results since you'll get the money regardless.
