Imagine if only educators were allowed to analyze and comment on

performance.

Maybe it should be -:)

We certainly have a lot of folks who appear to think that they could
do
better than teachers, even though they have never taught a class.


So parents shouldn't have input into the education of their child?

It depends. Are the parents trying to impair the quality of the
education of their child? If they are, their opinion should be
completely ignored. Schools should not avoid teaching facts that
children need to learn just because their parents want them to remain
ignorant about it.


Bullsh*t!!!!!!!!!!

If I want to teach my child the world is flat I should have that right.

Why?


Because if it is what I believe and I want my child to believe it that is
my
right as an American parent. Because schools should respect the right of
the parent to have the child educated with information consistent with
their
parental values and beliefs, not undermining them.

Why should they support the falsehoods that the parents teach? I agree
that parents generally have the right to teach anything they want to
their kids as long as it doesn't cause harm to the kids, but I don't
believe that the parents have the right to force schools to join with
them in their conspiracy against knowledge. False beliefs need to be
undermined. Ignorance needs to be destroyed.

Okay what about parents that don't believe in the Pledge of Allegience? Or
the Constitution? Or parents that believe their child should have the
opportunity for silent meditation (not prayer) during classes. What about
Muslim parents that believe their child should be allowed to pray to Mecca
if the school is run by athiests? Are they going to say the parents belief
is ignorant and should be wiped out and over ruled? Should those parents
beliefs be destroyed by the school and the government? Are you now going to
judge what is ignorant and what isn't? What gives schools and government
that ultimate authority?

Again I say BULLSH*T!!!
