Sarasota schools - too liberal?

These teachers really need to stop already and leave the sex and morality lessons to the parents. In the alternative, parents need to organize and develop some sort of a home schooling program.

The kids were USING the n-word and cursing. She was telling them not to, and explaining, curses and n-word are not appropriate.

One kid played dumb, said he didn't know what it was, she said it, and got fired for it.

Ridiculous.

I will tell you one thing - if I had small children today they would be home schooled - not just because of the indoctrination but because state schools and many private schools are failing miserably at actual teaching.

I can't tell you how many older teachers have told me that if they kids today, they would homeschool them. They know what education used to be.

Atrocious.

yeah, it ain't easy being greeezy,


public education is being run by freaks who concern themselves with everything other than teaching subject matter, and the process of academic learning

I highly doubt that trans-gender stuff is being brought up in conversation in many elementary schools anywhere. If a kid specifically asks, then the teacher sure is going to reply. I think there's a whole lot of people who come onto these forums and try to stir the pot and try to pretend that something is happening frequently when it is not.
Relax. Your kid isn't going to want to change their gender unless they really are very uncomfortable in their body, and it sure isn't going to be anything you can do about it if they really feel that way--they will eventually do whatever they are going to do.
I do agree though that it doesn't need to be a subject matter, and I don't believe it is anyway. Again, just seeing a lot of 'pot stirring'.
