We took him out of the school after we caught her in a lie about our son attacking another kid. Unfortunately, she represents the future of elementary education in this country. <br /><br />One question I had was: are men even going into elementary education anymore? Aren't men considered guilty until proven innocent around little kids?Robert What?https://www.blogger.com/profile/03863449539859132763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497093028548856666.post-82470496116375341332014-03-15T03:35:58.590-04:002014-03-15T03:35:58.590-04:00Reading this makes me realize that, compared to th...Reading this makes me realize that, compared to the rest of my schooling, I had a mostly good experience at kindergarten.<br /><br />The teachers, two women, were quite lovely and had strong maternal instincts. All of the children were from two parent Australian families, most with working dads and stay at home mums. <br /><br />I attended during the late 80s/early 90s, which was before the joys of the modern western world - divorce, single/working mothers, multiculturalism - took root in Australia.<br /><br />It was when I was in primary school during the mid 90s that I first learned about "step dads". Then I got to high school, where kids would arrive by train from the outer suburbs 55 minutes away from the school, only to then return home to an empty house until their mothers would return when it was dark. Is it any wonder most of these kids were truly insufferable and would disrupt every class they were in.<br /><br />Fact is, kids are happiest and healthiest when they are around other children from similar cultures and backgrounds, including intact traditional families. If I ever have kids, they will not be taking part in the Great Social Experiment concocted by the overpaid Social Sciences Major lunatics running these child warehouses.salsa sharknoreply@blogger.com
