(53,661 posts)I do NOT have the disposition to be a teacher. Public school teachers are an example of 'a woman's work is never done.'
They also build community and make the lives of the children they teach successful. Society is becoming fragmented and also stratified financially by the loss.
And they literally save the lives of those with troubles in the system. There are fine male teachers, but when they join the 'feminized' professions, they are subject to the same dismissal of their time, wages, pensions, etc.
All to benefit corporate mindset, private and religious schools. But that is Koch brothers doctrine, which I used to post here as revealed by Hartmann, Reid and Sanders. They, and the CTers, both call public schools the centers for indoctrination *shades of authoritarianism* to some on the left and creators of a 'feminazi'or 'effiminate' or 'communist' world view from the right.
It all mixes together and it's not just Duncan and Obama at fault. My 'blue' area's been infiltrated by Teas and Libertarians who believe the Koch line, and vote against all public school funding and for charters, despite the success of our public schools. Now they are simply starving the public schools in the legislature as well as the rest of state government.
So it's the left and right coming against the public schools, sadly. Although at a certain point, one has to look at results instead of labels. When the left embraces the solutions of the right, I don't care anymore.
