[QUOTE="Technut1990, post: 816779, member: 3774"] I think the 600 lb gorilla in this conversation that we aren’t mentioning is politics. I know it’s taboo to talk about but it’s been mixed into all of these things to such a degree it’s inescapable at this point. I think education would be better situated to focus on actual education, 2+2, gramma, solar system kinda stuff. I think we can all agree to fund schools to the degree they need if politics weren’t mixed in. Let social programs do the social stuff, cops do the criminal stuff and teachers do the actual teaching. Teachers should not be interpreting history for example, just teach what occurred from a fact standpoint. We have to stop expecting teachers to raise our kids or setting/resetting the moral compass, both are full time responsibilities. Teachers are not positioned to do that effectively, as to truly raise a child you have to be in their lives 24/7. It’s one thing to tell a child not to hit or steal it’s another all together to guide his/her analysis of social faults and politically based beliefs. If a child lacks that ability it is a counselor who should be involved and that counselor should come from a robustly financed social program which there again is developed for the child’s mental health and nothing else.
