Teaching Government in Schools

Name: CCFreak2K !mgsA1X/tJA 2005-09-23 2:35

Since it's my senior year of high school, the state of California (pause for laughter) has made it manditory for me to attend a Government/Economics class.  While this wouldn't be a problem (I love to hear people bitch about the world and the people who run it, as long as they have a valid arguement), the teacher I have is EXTREMELY left.  While this also wouldn't pose a problem normally, he's always injecting his left views into any debates that occur.

The bottom line?  The only teachers that should be teaching Government should be ones that can be on both sides of the fence equally (at least most of the time).

Discuss.

I dont think so...  when youre a teacher, you get all weekends and summers off, as well as ALL holidays.  Its also a job that requires fewer qualifications, and is easier to get.  And compared to dealing with fucking bitchy ass customers who believe they deserve the world on a platter just because they have been told all their lives to believe theyre better than an wal-mart check out worker PALES in comparison to dealing with shitty kids.  Im sure the clientele of other jobs can be just as bitchy and bad.

And the truth is, its only crazy parents who believe their child can do no wrong in any situation, and those are few usually, and you dont get written up for pissing them off; its a free service of the government so theres nothing they can do. Sure, if you get a ton of complaints, youll be in trouble, but the managers dont automatically assume that you are at fault (unlike at wal-mart)

Teaching may not be the easiest job in the world, but Ill tell you, its not close to the hardest. Not even anywhere near halfway up the scale.

The reason I know so much about teaching is because I was one of those problem kids ^_^
