I had an interesting conversation with a fellow educator recently. We were talking about many things and I began hearing snowflakes falling. At one point as I was making a point I noticed the same look in the eyes that I get in class. I stopped and asked, “Do you know who George Soros is?” The response was a blank stare.
Do you wonder why our students come out so ignorant and open to the nonsense of global warming, tax the rich, down with coal and transgender rights? Ask yourself, “Can someone who does not know how to tie their shoes teach a child to tie their shoes?”
If you don’t know the answer to that question or you answer, “Yes”, congratulations. You have passed the first test in being screened to teach in our public schools.
Teachers are caring, concerned, motivated and too often ignorant. I guess that is what makes them such loyal Democrats.
