#1 Being given a zero by a zero shoud be a badge of honor.

#2 A wise education professor once taught that teachers should obey four rules: do not offend your students; do not offend their parents; do not offend your peers in the faculty and the administration; and above all, do not use your teaching podium as a soapbox.

Not surprisingly, those teachers who object to these rules on the grounds that it violates their "rights" are poor teachers anyway. For they never want to teach, they want a captive audience for their diatribes and rants.

They want to piss off their students and their parents because they equate anger with learning. They want to piss off their peers and administration to prove how important and valuable they think they are.
But most of all they want to force their opinions on others instead of doing their job.

Which is as unwanted, in its way, as a policeman who stops you in your car to make you listen to his political opinions.

I've offended plenty of students, parents and especially administration. ;)

#6 Anon, what do you expect? The Teachers Union has been ruining our public education system for years.

Its illegal to fire or even reprimand these 'preachers' thanks to the union. They have a captive audience of impressionable young minds and no accountability. Hell, here you can't even audit the school districts (its illegal!).

Here in Washington state they have an initiative now to take 1% of the sales tax for 'education' (meaning 'throw more money at the problem -- and the teachers union and the problems will magically go away!).

Throwing money at the teachers union won't fix the problem. Utterly Destroying the teachers union will fix the problem.

Dont get me wrong - unions *have* done good in the past but now most of them are parasites.
