A teacher entering an NEA Convention sports a button exclaiming, "Jesus was my co-pilot but he crashed the plane so I ate him!" Another button says, "My Karma beats your Dogma!"
A grammer school reconfigures restrooms to make a trans-gender child feel better! The terms "Mom and Dad" have been removed from some textbooks so as not to make homosexual children feel out of place!
Math problem in a proposed text book: If math were a fruit what fruit would it be? Or: If math were a color what color would it be?
I could fill a front page with little snippits like these. I always try to take up for the teaching profession but things look worse every day! Stuff like this makes the whole profession look bad!
My sister had to go in for a class and not only wasn't paid but had to pay a $10 fee! She has to pay for her class supplies while Governor Good Hair spends state funds on friends like a drunken sailor!

You read it right, Rebecca. Peanuts are legumes. You must have been reading one of the questions from the Knowledge Bowl. (Our team got it right.)
February 17, 2008 at 12:56 p.m.Am I the only one who sat back and pondered the color of math? I'm such a goober. I guess I'm a legume and not a fruit, like math. Wait, does that mean I'm a nut? Isn't a peanut a legume? I saw that little factoid in the Advocate.

Welcome to English class, kids. Today's vocabulary word is irony. An example of irony is someone telling another to go back to grammer school to learn how to spell correctly.
Math is a potatoe and is the color read.
February 15, 2008 at 1:55 p.m.You got it right, Kenneth, when they tried to take God out of schools, and make man and is rules gods, public education started a downturn.
February 15, 2008 at 11:04 a.m.I think you need to go back to "grammer" school.

Kenneth, I agree that the NEA and those in power of it are pretty left-wing. I am a former teacher, and I got to tell you, certainly not all of the teachers are so anti-religious. I used to have Christian books, pamphlets, etc. around my desk. My friend across the hall had a Bible on her desk. The principal saw it and had no problem with it.
February 15, 2008 at 7:03 a.m.We're a smaller school, but it' not all so bleak out there.
But please do keep pointing out the anti-religious people out there, as they are gaining in numbers, IMO.
Everyone knows that math is yellow, but a fruit? I think math would be more like a root vegetable. A turnip. Make that the skin of the turnip.
February 14, 2008 at 10:35 p.m.If math were a fruit? Give me a break. That's elementary or kindergarten, not secondary. Most secondary teachers excel at their craft, thank you. I'm a high school science teacher and I pride myself on instilling knowledge and managing to get the kids on the
