FRANCO of RICHMOND, ME wow.. bush signed this ???? hmmmm super high wayreport abuse

Hermann Munster of AmishLand, PA I've been listening to the democrats, Peter. Not that their squabbling has anything to do with what or how a teacher carries out instruction in the classroom.report abuse

Peter Edgecomb of Hallowell, ME Hermann, what is suggests is that you don't understand how bad it is here in Maine.

I do know my daughters teachers and do know there politics. I ask my daughter questions, I ask her frineds and I ask her teachers questions.

I have learned not based on my feelings, but on my observations. As I said before, the vast majority are in fact liberal, not all, but pretty close.

Blamesmanship? Please, have yoy listened at all to the democrats? Come on Hermann, please be realistic.report abuse

Hermann Munster of AmishLand, PA Peter - sorry to butt in, but you hubric waxing of teachers, i.e., "rather than meeting with the teachers (who wouldn't admit to the leftist spin they put on their teachings)," suggests that you know little of the individual political leanings of the teachers themselves. And that you've likely not met with them to discuss the particulars of what they teach. Or why.

Indeed, here in beautiful downtown pennsyltucky, I've been engaged in a 2-year... um... conversation with the locals about the federally required teaching of things related to the formation of our constitution on or about the anniversary of our constitution's ratification. The locals want nothing of it because, in their opinion, the requirement was passed by a liberal congress. But it was not liberals who wrote or ratified the constitution and it is the republicans who constantly complain that our public schools teach little about the constitution. And it was not a liberal president (regardless of how the goopers currently view gw) who passed the legislation.

Where to go, what to do. One place we need not, and should not, go, is down that alley of political blamemenship. Let's just teach the stuff instead of hurling unfounded accusations.report abuse
