you saying teachers dont have rights to express their opinions. last i checked this still was a democracy though that fact gets further skewed year after year. i guess most people want everyone to share the same beliefs and ideas. that sounds so communistic we as a society are heading towards that and its kinda scary.


Yes we all have our rights to our own opinions but you lose your right when it comes to my child....Its my obligation to instruct my child as I see fit.


Perhaps you should home school your child, so no teacher can put any of their thoughts into your kid's head?



I see that you dont have children?


No, I do not. Good to know you can read and check up on that, though. :wink:



Very good to know...:wink:

You can go ahead and pull your foot out of your mouth now


I don't believe it was there in the first place. While I may not have children, I have worked with kids quite a bit when I was a teaching assistant in an elementary school.

All I did was comment on something you said and you didn't seem to like it. That's it. :wink:

the kids take the teachers opinions as facts so i don't agree i just wonder if the teachers opinion would change if her husband or son was in iraq


Keep in mind that many people support the troops, but not the war. So even if the teacher had someone close in the war, her opinion might not change.

I pick my battles sweetie... I won't battle over what I don't care that much about or have that much passion for.. That's with love, life, relationships, etc.

my question is was the teacher asked by the kids what she thought about the war?i think its okay for the teacher to share her opinion as long as she says its her opinion.It's good to discuss things.Makes them less scary.

That's completely impossible.

You cannot denegrate someone's job, for which he / she is risking life and limb and still support that person. To say "We can't win the war" destroys the moral of the troops whom you cannot pull out. Saying "We can't win the war" is giving support and comfort to the enemy. So support the troops or don't, but you can't do both at the same time.

the troops only do what they are told spider and i don't think excercising the very freedoms they fight for degenerate them or demoralize them.I hate war but still pray for our troops and hope they come home soon.noone in their right mind thinks war is wonderful.

American troops have been in sadie oil land since bush sr. was in charge,The bush family and their friends like richard chanie own the buying and selling part of crude oil. American troops are there 2 protect that interest from locals that dont like 2 see Americans in their country. Age nine is 2 early 2 talk about things like that, I doubt the children would understand
anyhow, most adults dont.

this thread isn't a forum to tell what you think the war is about....it's about a teacher telling the class one side.

pacific...my son has gone almost all the way in the same district...he has 1 more yr to go. i'm very glad he's not in the district were you are referring to. the school you talk about seems nothing more than a brain wash school IMO..

I have been teaching dance most of my life..and I get the kids after school...plain and simple ... the teacher that only gives one side is responsible. but the parents have rights to stand up and say something.

the day i give up my rights when it comes to my son, is the day i will move to another country

i just think the teacher is using her position to influence the class.these kids think whatever the teacher says is right.i would bet most of the kids in the class didn't tell the parents about what the teacher said.i wonder how many other things this teacher has told the kids.
Find out. U have a right 2 know. Children are affected by what thay hear.

seth...you are very right. the child may have misunderstood or it could have been an innocent remark made by the teacher. i said earlier to speak to the child and get the whole side of their story then speak to the teacher.

This type of story is irksome to the extent that the children are nine. At that age (and some more than others) they might be able to grasp some of the concepts of "war" but for the most part I think I would prefer that teachers spend more time preparing young kids for their future; teaching them things like reading, writing, and let me see, how about math. There is nothing wrong with teaching kids about the world in which we live. What bothers me about this story is that the teacher isn't teaching as much as he/she is editorializing.

There are complexities involved that I don't think it reasonable to expect a 9 year old to understand. I am not suggesting they be separated entirely from things that drive the decisions that can and will affect their lives. That stated, I think it might have been a better use of class time to allow kids to share their thoughts on the subject without bending to the utterly simplistic. The problem here is that the teacher isn't exactly lying--just failing to paint the entire picture.

This is only one small case, I wonder what other realy bad things teachers are doing and saying/teaching that the parents never know about, Or care about. I think the child of the woman who began this will turn out ok as it seems that there is good communication in the family, the parent knows what is going on.

sending our kids to public school does not mean parents lose their rights...just the opposite. it's up to the parents to get involved with what the kids learn and what's going on. parents shouldn't sit in ignorance bliss. if a parent wants to be an effective parent then they need to be inovled with their kids
