One of my kids goes to EC Elementry. It has gotten to be almost weekly that I have to e-mail a teacher or the principal regarding the teachers behavior. Global Warming, President Bush is Getting rich because of gas prices being so high, don't cut down trees, save the polar bears, sell T-shirts to save the rain forest and blah blah blah. When do they have time to actually teach something that is true and worth while?
One teacher had 5th grades students stand in different areas of the room depending on who they want to be president. I had to inform them that no one has to disclose who they would vote for. My daughter came home with a poster of a man cutting down a tree with a circle around it and a slash through it. I spent the next hour explaining what a truly renewable resource is and how blessed we are to have them to use.
When did political views, the religion of global warming, openly bashing the President of the United States, and all this other crapola become common place in a fifth grade class room?
