11 year old suspended for turning in toy gun ...

[BPTactical]

Add this to "Common Core" and the daily teacher banging a student I cannot find a more compelling reason for home schooling and education vouchers.

Like I said before .. forget the whole retatdedness for the zero tolerance suspension over a toy....

They re regularly patting down 11 yr olds at school who have done nothing wrong but go to school ... that doesn't bother anyone ?

They probably cannot afford metal detectors. Even if they could it wouldn't have caught the evil dangerous plastic firearm.

Just think how long it takes for the kids to get into the school.

Well as you know, highly educated does not mean "smart." Zero Tolerance is the worst possible policy ever created when it comes to schools.

This times infinity plus infinity squared. I work with very highly educated people yet they had to hire me, a knuckle dragger, to run their operations and balance their budgets.
It's cliche and stereotyping but teachers teach because they can't 'do' yet over time those teachers become administrators who never learned how to apply their management or leadership theories in real life. Once in power, everything goes to chaos theory real quick.

It is Chicago... AKA Liberal Utopian city (with a very high murder rate to go with it!). CA, DC, NY, IL, these are places where freedom is a very loose word. Yes, this bothers me, but look at which side's policies run those places... that's right, extreme left policies. I guess we chalk that up to stupid games, stupid prizes. And they're moving this direction!!!

Very well said. Most teachers I know now (that are my age) are very stupid, for being "highly educated." It's sad that some of them cannot see past their liberal agenda, one I even went to HS with believes in the whole cradle-to-grave care... I constantly attack her opinions about kids with "Stop letting the government (department of education) raise your kids, be a damn parent!"

Sorry to sound like I'm generalizing BigBear... I know a few teachers that are actually quite good and resist the progressive movement, but gosh, they are so outnumbered (or at least outspoken) by the number of leftists in the profession. And, like the LE industry enjoys a very conservative majority, teaching, as a profession, is predominantly a liberal dominated workforce. It's really a very complex problem- liberal teachers being in the majority, teacher unions, crap parents who have some stupid excuse to suck at raising children, and of course, society that overreacts when a kid takes a bit of his freaking pop tart and it looks like a gun. Something needs to change. We need sanity back in our world.

While undoubtedly there are good teachers in public schools, I'm not willing to subject my children to the very real problems of the public school system. They all go to private schools. The reality is that the majority of people don't care. Parents, students, teachers, politicians. Just don't see the country coming around without a catalyst. My plan is to teach my children to be able to take advantage of the chaos. To position themselves against the system.

Well, thank you Big Bear for what you are doing. I appreciate it.

I wish more teachers were like minded with you....and I wish parents did more, like they're supposed to.

Yeah. But they're being subjected to pat-downs due to stupid zero tolerance policies.

Bigbear, please realize that i fully went in to that comment saying that I was stereotyping and therefor generalizing myself. There are always outliers that are exceptions to the rule which is seems that you are. Good on you; it's a noble profession!
You have a lot of work to do to try to convert your peers to a more sane way of thinking about how the world works.
Also, in full disclosure I'm a selfish snipped DINKWAD (with a dog)!!
