    That fluffy head teacher reminds me of a guy who sold me some LSD…

    I can’t tell if Pritchard is Peter Pan, or Captain Hook.

    The winner of the state best teacher award years ago had an essay in The Sun magazine about just that – how the history of schooling was designed to create good quiet workers for society, content with the status quo.

    Classic indoctrination technique. Dr. Strangelove there tells the mark what he wants to hear, and if he is receptive, the real brainwashing begins. If I was Kevin, I would take off running and never look back.

    Kind of scary that so many commenters appear ready to join his cult…

    Mandatory PE got a big boost in the schools after WWI. There was much concern over the number of draftees who failed the induction physical or had problems/resented being yelled at.So gym class where boys had to change into uniforms, line up and do exercises while being yelled out by an alpha male was the ideal solution.

    There are many problems with pre-college schools in the US, both public and private (I experienced both). Top of the list: it’s presumed all students learn the same way, even those without learning “disabilities.” Nothing can be further from the truth. Those who can’t follow a traditional lesson plan or learn from standard teaching/testing protocols are doomed to be left behind, impacting them profoundly as they move through life. These kids are bright, but end up believing they’re not. It’s sad.

    I knew it! Validation man! If you enjoyed your school career, good, if you didn’t I relate. No one tried to help me. They just tried to keep me from leaving. My mom tried to keep me in school but offered no support or encouragement. She needed her welfare money and she wouldn’t get any for me if I dropped out. I needed help not emotional and physical abuse! The 70’s were horrible for that. (Edited Sorry to socialvillaguy and Teto85 for deleting and reposting after they liked my post)

    I didn’t expect the special ed to be a rebel stronghold. Let’s see where this goes.

    Our experience with the public education system is nothing to complain about. One of my teachers used to say: “You get back in education what you put into it. I can give you the key, but you have to be the one to open that door.”

    I must say, I had excellent teachers in both kindergarten, elementary and later in high school. Or maybe I chose to remember only the good teachers… For example in our small school the same teacher taught us from grade one to grade five. How can one forget such a dedicated lady? I had the same teacher for history and civics all through high school. I know how all the levels of government work inside and out, thanks to that teacher. One thing that I say on these boards from time to time to other posters: get involved in local politics by going to the local council meetings, because its decisions are the ones affecting you each and every day……and that’s all thanks to our high school civics teacher.

    I also went to a university, and because it was during late ‘60s and early ’70s, that’s where my big complaint would be. Because that was the biggest lump of the baby boomer time, my classes were just too big. I graduated debt free, thanks to my part time work and scholarships. I got a good education and was able to channel that to a rewarding career, and later to our own business.

    Our kids ended up in good places as well, and because of their high marks, they were scholarship students and graduated without any debt. They all have stellar careers. Their kids are on a good path as well.

    All thanks to the public school system and many, many dedicated teachers.
