You wouldn't have this problem w the Ron Paul Homeschool Curriculum

[sailingaway]

or any other homeschool, really:

The words are written in crayon, in the haphazard bumpiness of a child’s scrawl.

“I am willing to give up some of my constitutional rights in order to be safer or more secure.”

They’re the words that Florida father Aaron Harvey was stunned to find his fourth-grade son had written, after a lesson in school about the Constitution.

Harvey’s son attends Cedar Hills Elementary in Jacksonville, Fla. Back in January, a local attorney came in to teach the students about the Bill of Rights. But after the attorney left, fourth-grade teacher Cheryl Sabb dictated the sentence to part of the class and had them copy it down, he said.

Bull shit -- his father or mother told him to write that.

No, the Blaze checked with the school district who was already inquiring, based on complaints from other parents. The various complaints agreed on the main points.

That's it, I'm homeschooling next year. I can't stand this shit.

As I've suspected a long time, the future is fail.

That's disturbing as hell. What kind of person makes a class of fourth-graders write that?

Deluded leftist school teachers like my sister-in-law? (actually, I don't know how she taught in school, but I do know that her kids have been brainwashed into thinking the same way)

As it was explained to me, the general curricula comes from On High (TPTB in a given district), which ultimately comes from the DoE. That leaves little room for the teachers to be creative and tailor the lessons to what students actually need. Thus, some get bored, some fall behind, some just pass the tests and forget it after. IIRC, when I was trapped in gov't school, things were relatively interesting until junior high. Then it was almost entirely dry and boring. Even subjects I still like, such as history and literature.

That's funny, coming from The Blaze (Glenn Beck's website). I agree that the statement is sickening, but Glenn Beck was probably leading that charge when it mattered the most. Didn't he support the passage of the PATRIOT Act?

He says he regrets it now.

I'd want to beat the crap out of that teacher. I'd settle for trying to get them fired and suing the school district.

[Beck] says he regrets [supporting the Patriot Act] now.

He only says this because that's what his audience wants to hear. If today they wanted to hear that he supported the Patriot Act, like they did when Beck said he supported it, he would be supporting it again today. He is as spineless as an invertebrate.

He's just an actor. Typical of "talk" personalities.

Good, I don't want my grandkids getting that crap shoved down their throats.

I think his various incarnations draw different flavors of staff. the ones who wrote this could be true believers -- or just know what the current audience wants.

It's one teacher among hundreds of thousands. No reason to get upset about some random douchebag. This is silly.

If it were my kids I'd be concerned. The problem is that this is too prevalant of a certain group who teach to change the world. This is simply one concrete example.
