wait what? hold up you're contradicting yourself.
How? Because I believe that the only way to create nonpartisan schools as a whole would be to get as many different views in there? You know since no one is raising a fuss about all the - and god I've known a lot - teachers who are so close minded they try to get you counseling if your pregnant in HS. Shit's gonna happen, theres always going to be people who hate for the sake of hating, so why not throw something else there to balance it out? It's the real world, there's always going to be opinions, you can't have otherwise, and your going to have to find the best way to even it out for the children. I call that being neutral, because you are allowing the kids to make up their minds with all the given possibilities, not just the ones you chose. There's a massive lack of judgment and balance in the board of ed anyway, so this ain't going to fuck it up anymore.
Because god knows I've had teachers who were anti-semitic racist, sexist, alcoholics, one ended up caught trying to get the chior boys, damn - I'd rather have a nazi who kept their views to themselves during school, but went around promoting hate off the clock than a teacher who: said the holocaust never happened, used the words "Jewish Media", said that women in the education should only teach home ec class, was a sexual predator on the clock as well as off, showed up to teach drunk, promoted the use of lsd, struck kids with their shoe, shit I can go on and on about the bad teachers I've had. I wish I had one who was so "alternative" they actually won awards, were considered very highly in their field, and didn't do any of the above - you know... to balance things out so we have a system that has both the rights and lefts, the goods and bads, and we're left able to make up our own mind.

uh, no, you're making them biased by teaching them only thing (I.E. gay sex is better than heterosexual sex, changing your sex is better than being natural, eating pepperonni is better than sausage).
We teach kids bias all the time. We teach them that sex is wrong and evil all the time when it's not. It's our attempt to get them to stop because apparently they should. We don't try to encourage waiting for any reason, we don't want them coming to school pregnant is all.
And what fucking school is going around so pro-gay their bashing straights?
Marcus;282915 said:
I'll say it once again: teachers have no right to express their opinions in a teaching environment. Save that for after school clubs or what have you. I don't want my child to become biased, thus I teach them the basics to make it into society. Everything else they need to learn on their own.
Every great teacher in the world would be out of a job.
And what opinion are we teaching here? To go out and have a sex change? To do what you think is best? Sorry, but "do what you feel is best for you, but don't leap right in, make sure and deliberately put enough thought in it to be 100% sure because it might be a life changing situation" is a
great lesson for kids.

Those are things that people are supposed to discover themselves. It's not about being grey or normal or conforming to society, it's about self discovery which is fundamentally more important to the growth of society than anything else.
Perfectly right. But when? College? When our minds are -for the most part- going to have a change in our social ways? Because we're more likely to stay who we were and stunt our growth if we aren't given the chance to grow earlier on in life. We'll just be a bigger smarter version of the HSer instead of some brand new flower budding out of it's little garden being all unique and crap.

The renaissance wasn't an influential movement because people copied art, literature, and ways of thinking from other cultures. It was spawned from creativity and a break away from the church that once held a tight leash over the control of ideas and thinking.
Yeah. And now it's time to do it again. The church is dead (in education, public school that is), but you still have a lot of wrong faced people in power. $300+ to change a light bulb. The inability to fire a sexual predator, and that union bargaining with the parents, because the union has to decide first for 4 years if they even should look into it. This persons actually doing their job - might be one of 12 in the entire education system in this state.
The renaissance was this little time period of growth where everyone started thinking for themselves because the laws that be were to forceful. Someone did something, and they all started doing it. I forgot the sculpture's name, where Mary is holding Jesus in her arms and she's looking down at him crying instead of looking up at the heavens all peaceful - almost got him excommunicated! Suddenly everyone was doing it. They were completely stealing from each other, it was a hot trend.
And what happened after wards? Further growth threw the centuries because no ideas and predispositions were brought in and completely shattered in the face of an increasingly faster growing generation. Each one having the same god damn movements in their sociality as before, the church wasn't always the bad guy. But every single time you had bland and flat and biased hands from one direction holding the power, so yeah let's consolidate a little and spread out reaches out a bit. We might feel more if we have more possible foot holds and might just climb that much further.
Stress and conflict aren't the only ways to get kids to become greatness.

All I'm saying here is that Mr./Mrs. Suraci or whatever should continue running the school as long as he doesn't say "hay kids, if you want to be a woman go ahead and do it. i'm happy!" at every chance he gets. If my child wants to have a sex change operation, he'll discover that need on his own. I don't pay taxes to have someone advertise it on a daily basis.
She's not. No one is.
The idea that people would think someone just makes huge life altering and truly personal decisions and go on to kids doing so for no reason other than the fact that they did, is repugnant.
I've never even see anyone say - in all of my life - that sex changes were for anyone who wanted to try it. Even the anti-sex change documentaries I've seen even gave them at least that much, that they couldn't get one person to say it.
Funny though, how marriage is okay to talk about like that. So is divorce. So is going to college. So is damn near anything. As long as it's not something we ourselves haven't done in the homogenized world.
