Does anyone else hate it when teachers use their classroom as a soapbox for their political views?

Liberals cant win elections so liberal teachers try to corrupt the youth to win future elections. Once the kids realize they are brain washed they become civilized once again and vote Republican because they love America.

I don't hate anyone, but if I did, Mr. Bush would be at the top of my list. He has repeatedly lied to us. How are teachers supposed to teach children about respecting the President of The United States, when they can go home after school and catch him in another lie on CNN? It really is sad, I had incredible faith in the man when he was elected, I almost feel betrayed.

I am still in school! What is that shit! Anyway, there are nice teachers who do their job well and try not to show favoritism, just as there are teachers who do not. High school teachers are generally not as open as Middle school teachers.

I buy that.  I teach myself and it is very funny to watch when we have all district meetings.  Each grade teacher behaves the way that their students would.  High school people are very serious and business like.  Elementary school teachers are serious but more touchy feely.  Middle school teachers (like me) screw around and throw things and get off task.

What you can do about the problem is be politically active and vote.  But, as a teacher I hope you don't convey your negativity on to your students.  Don't send them out in to the world angry at the US and the government.  And you better believe candidates are checked.  No political party will put thousands to millions behind a candidate without knowing their past.  Rich daddy's backing their kids....you would too.

Get rid of tenure, have a merit system for teachers, if they don't meet certain standards, they can be fired. Smaller class sizes, don't let the teachers, and their left wing union brainwash these kids with their liberalism.

This is a very good question. Every time I walk through my child's school, there are a couple teachers that I just want to slap. As for the comment made by, DID I GET ADOPTED, Teachers are suppose to set an example. I have know doubt that there are days and kids that can try their nerves, but this is a part of life, and teaching your classroom how to act and behave badly is just plain wrong! No matter what job you have I have always believed that if the heat is too hot in the kitchen, get out!!!

Most of the questions/answers on "Yahoo Answers" are do to the fact that most of the participants are victims of the United States public education system. It's a good indicator that something simply isn't working properly, let alone the fact that "teachers" are spending too much time playing "babysitter" insted of actually teaching our children. \nSad to say, but until we start passing referendums for tax dollars that will aid our failing schools, more "creative" usage of language can be expected.

The total ignorance of our lawmakers about the importance of education and the educators that make it happen. As a teacher I am disgusted with the lack of monies given to our educational systems and the amount of @#%$&* we as teachers are expected to perform to meet their requirements, yet we are paid chicken feed. I am a single mom and only JUST have my head above water financially and work my toucas off to educate my students. It's a travesty!

I think these days, teachers are being forced to "teach towards the test" only.  In my state specifically, being an intellectually well-rounded student means nothing as long as your state test scores look good.  Previously, students were learning to successfully function in society, as well as to do well on tests, but the inverse seems to be in practice today.  No one is teaching courtesy, chivalry, or common sense to kids these days, which I think are imperative to becoming good citizens.  Teachers, in my opinion, are really getting a raw deal now.  Reproaching students by calling parents or punishing them doesn't seem to be working either.  OK, getting back to the teaching topic... one excellent teaching technique is to become as personable with students as possible.  That, in turn, will give students an initiative to learn.  I have had some horrible experiences with teachers that just don't care and have expressed this to students.  I definitely think that teachers these days are on the defensive and this a stark contrast from 20 years ago when the teacher acted more like a second mother to students than a disciplinarian only.

I got the same thing. Im sitting next to this boy thats a faget. He talks to himself, hits like a maniac and is a big B****. The teacher probably does that so we cant talk. You can always sit next to a person you dont want because maybe your teacher hates you. I hate my teacher and he hates me.

I hate to be the one to tell you, but it against School policy and the teacher can get fired if found out.

I am so pissed.  Not at this, but at the idea.  I thought liberals weren't supposed to be afraid of ideas.\n\nHowever, in California they have purged the textbooks and educational exhibits to take out such UnAmerican things as Teddy Roosevelt (a hunter which is not PC).  He is in the lists of who the Presidents are, but if you try to find out about Yosemite, you will learn only of John Muir and Lincoln, as if John Muir had a seance with Lincoln's ghost and by some miracle Yosemite valley was added to the National Park system.\n\nThey are now requiring that when famous people who were gay are discussed in elementary school, the book needs to tell about their sexual orientation.  My kids are older now and can deal with it, but I frankly don't think it is the school's place to discuss sexuality with kindergartners.  I bet the books aren't going to say someone is straight every time they discuss a famous straight person.\n\nThere is nothing so scary as someone who uses thought control 'for your own good'.
