Speaking of the Constitution, Free Speech and Such

Kinda hard to answer that first question. Don't know you personally. I could hazard a not-so-polite guess. But I won't. Too polite.

WHO said ANYTHING about CHALLENGING 6th graders in political discussions? Are you projecting? Do you commonly challenge 11-year olds? Maybe you could use some brushing up on your comprehension skills. Go back and read what's actually been written.

You guys see what you want to read to make some bogus point you want to make. No real discussion of the issues.

 

No, my students stand up and say, in response to my asking their opinion, "I think ....." Sometimes they give reasons. Sometimes they don't and I ask "Why do you think that?" Sometimes they can articulate it, sometimes they can't completely. And then I repeat what they have stated so the rest of the class is sure to hear it, thank them for having the courage to express it, and I ask if anyone agrees with it or disagrees.
You guys hypothesize about what happens in a "liberal's" classroom, and then you rant about your conjecture, and you sound so silly doing it. And you're making less and less sense in the process.:lol:

I wish you'd tell your friends in the bush administration to deal with the FACTS. They're always trying to have the US public believe in their fantasyland. Fortunately, fewer and fewer are continuing to buy it...

 

I removed this post wrong topic

 

Why was Priusguy04's thread on political parties closed?

 

I would have to agree with watts..

But will also state it doesnt matter whos in the oval office they all make promises that can't be kept to get there and then try and run the country the way they would like to..

Teachers do not have fredom of speach wilst at thier work place, the idea of no child left behind was a good idea until implemented, Ask a teacher what they think of an FCAT test and watch them cringe..

teachers and sex education, what happened here? There are teachers that are doing more than just talking about it there teaching the kids with hands on approach..

ok i'll stop with my incoherent ramblings..

 

Now my button says "add reply" instead of "closed". And priusguy04 posted a message along with the poll, making it open to more posts. Must have been a technical glitch. My button said "closed" for about 20 min.

 

Yeah, now I can see it's a new poll---the "independent" choice is now first instead of last (but, alas, still misspelled ).

 

efusco

Thank you,

And yes thats what I did, I tried to open it but couldnt.

 

Post #22 clearly states you talk about Politics BUT make sure you cover all sides. I don't care about all sides....6th graders don't belong there. What did I miss?

 

quick story to share.

my senior year in high school (01, yes i'm just a kid compared to most of you) my english teacher, who i absolutely hated, asked us all to write about our favorite memory from high school for our last essays. and i really couldn't decide which memory was less crappy, so i decided instead to write an essay about why high school honestly produced no "favorite" type memories for me and nothing i'd really look back on too fondly.

in it, i went on a pretty scathing rant about how that year i had a major disability and spent most of my time at doctor appointments, missed a lot of classes, still pulled off a 3.7 gpa... and nearly got kicked out of school for truancy by the overzealous and power-hungry asst principal who had the nerve to send my 'parents' (well me because i was 18) a letter stating that "obviously" school was not important to me.

that was in fact my final point in that essay about why my high school years sucked.

i got a B- (and usually without studying or doing too much work i pulled of an A- average) and the teacher's only comment was "whatever"

nice.

 

Man whats with the teachers having sexual relations with their students...
20-40 yr old women/men falling for a 11-17 yr old student...????

Another can <_<

 

Yeah! What's with that?!?

Where the heck were those 20 year old women when I was 11-17?!?
