Well, LOL away. But, seeing as you don't have any children yourself, most will, wisely, not be giving your opinion much weight on this thread. But, post, multitask & LOL away. Free country.
Well, that was a fabulous non-reply... and I don't recall stating whether or not I have children, but I think you DO know I've been an educator for many years. So with or without my own children, I clearly have some insight into this subject.
Just more homos trying to control everything. They get more bizarre every year. The few teachers I've had who were gay (didn't say they were gay, but you could tell they were) were very strange people and very unfriendly.
Gee.....could they have been "unfriendly" because they recognized what a nasty little bigot you were? If they were gay at all; just because you *think" you can tell doesn't mean squat.

Wow, strange people and very unfriendly and you could tell they were gay So you don't trust them to teach. Wow, really. I have no words for you or maybe I do but I might get banned How sad that you feel this way.
Just like others on here said they wouldn't trust a porn star to teach children, I wouldn't trust a homosexual to teach children. The same goes for rapists, pedos and trannies. I'm sure many others agree.
As for my teachers... my film teacher was gay. He was extremely effeminate, had a gay accent and talked like a woman. He was also snobby and arrogant, like he thought he was better than everyone. Sometimes his "friend" would come into class to talk to him about something. He too looked and acted weird. None of the students really liked him and thought he was odd as well. They used to say all kinds of things about him.
An old reading teacher of mine was a lesbian. The students once asked her about her life, if she was married and had children, etc. Then she said she had a "partner." She dressed almost like a man and would stare then start yelling at everyone.
There was another teacher at my former middle school was a lesbian. Like my reading teacher, she also dressed like a man and acted like one. I saw her driving once and she had a rainbow sticker on it. My classmates would talk about her and say she wasn't very nice.
Another school teacher was also a lesbian and kind of looked like one with her hairdo and earrings. She too was a bit snotty towards everyone. No one really liked her.
How do you know these things about either of us? I'm not generally anti-authority, but doesn't everyone dislike being told how to feel/believe? Or would be okay with me calling YOU wrong for your thoughts? I only said that was your opinion, whereas you're the one telling other people they're wrong for having a differing opinion. I respect even those who disagree with me, and would never have the cajones to try and "correct" your feelings.
Perhaps, but I'm 35 years old... so this certainly doesn't apply to me.
I/we do have common sense, it just might occasionally clash with your idea of common sense - and that's okay, at least in most situations.
I had an grandaunt who believed all religions led to God. She regularly went on trips to India to visit her teacher and always brought back magic ashes to rub on our foreheads. She was free spirit, taught yoga, and thought it was okay for anyone to do just about anything. I loved her dearly, but she was on a different planet entirely. Her concept of common sense was far different than mine. I guarantee that even she would come to the conclusion that this guy shouldn't be teaching children.
Some things are beyond consideration by any person in their right mind.

The rub here is that a narrow minded biggot would probably keep that to himself and actually teach your children. So you'd risk your grandchildrens education to make a statement? That's just scary.
And to be perfectly honest, that's the main beef I have with this story... because on one side I'll kinda agree that he should find a new line of work, but on the other I'm feeling like this is (for many) an anti-gay thing. Notice how that nasty poster's comment had nothing to do with his porn past? It was merely about him being gay, and that's where my "defend him" bell goes off, I suppose. I realize not everyone is seeing it that way, but I'm quite positive he's receiving some of the backlash for it being GAY porn. You know if he were a straight porn star instead, the opinions would be a little more divided.

None of my other classmates liked them either. Not just me. You're the nasty, narrow-minded bigot, not me. Get off your high horse.

In my all girl catholic high school, we had a music teacher who was gay. The nuns and priests openly welcomed him. He was an amazing teacher and an asset to our school. I'm sorry you had a bad experience but that is not the norm.
Speaking of odd, I could tell you many stories about one of our priests who used to spy on us changing into our gym clothes not to mention other strange things he did....but that's another story so don't get me started.

The fact that you lump pedos & rapists with homosexuals & transsexuals speaks volumes... and I certainly hope most people don't agree with you about the latter two. As for the former two, I hope everyone agrees they're not fit for teaching.

As you can see, they were not so nice.
So what? Were ALL of your straight teachers nice? And for that matter, do you know which of the "non-obvious" teachers were gay too? I had a huge crush on one of my male teachers (I'm female btw), and didn't know until Senior year that he was gay... still couldn't help that crush, since he was so adorable and sweet.
Regardless, people are still people - and some will be nice, while others will be not so nice. Would you judge an entire race of people based on a few meanies? Maybe you would, who knows.
Homeschooling is growing nationwide, OP. Even in the UK too, more parents are pulling their kids out of school. The myths of homeschooling are coming apart at the seams, since the people who berate homeschooling almost always turn out to be unionized public school teachers and their liberal lemmings.
Not every parent should be teaching their children.
I actually support a parent's right to choose to home school their children. HOWEVER, there are many, many UNqualified parents out there, who can't seem to string together a coherent and grammatically correct sentence, or add two plus two, who think they have what it takes to educate their children.
I've been a member of several forums with large contingents of home schooling parents, and reading what some of them write, a lot of it barely legible, would at times send shivers down my spine.
So, I don't think it's practical to try to convince ALL parents that the best they can do for their kids is to pull them out of public school and teach them themselves.
And I know a little about this personally - I home schooled two of my kids for a few years. While my heart was in the right place, and I really thought I was doing the right thing, and we definitely had some successes, I found that you really have to be organized and self-disciplined - of which I am neither - and it became apparent they were better off in public school.
Again, I would rather have my kids be taught by a qualified teacher - regardless of their sexual orientation - than by.......me.
