Bad324 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 This doesn't shock me. My buddy is only in his 3rd year teaching but some of the stories he tells me about these other teachers are down right hilarious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblosser Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 + rep for the teacher.Spending more than about 15 minutes on The Renaissance is a waste of time:- Leo da Vinci and Michelangelo created some neat art, and later became 1/2 of the Ninja Turtles (i think)- Bill Shakespeare wrote some hard-to-read books and poems- the Medici family was powerful in banking- Columbus sailed the ocean blue, in 14 hundred and 92- watch out for the plague!There ya go, The Renaissance in a nutshell. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottb Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Regarding the plague, you have to mention the "bring out your dead" quote from Monty Python Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue03636 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Am I the only one confused as to why the renaissance is being discussed in geography and not history class? These were always separate classes for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
granda080 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 We had a teacher at my school who wanted to show the movie 300 to a group of 6th graders. I couldn't even list the massive number of reasons this is a terrible idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My high school Latin teacher's curriculum was comprised of Monty Python Holy Grail, Life of Brian and a few other "Ancient Historical Films" LOL That was a great class.

dorifto240 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 You should see the way some of the teachers behave at the bar I work at. When I ask them where they teach, they think I'm being polite. I'm not.I'm making sure to never send my kids (when I have them) to that school. I don't want that crazy rubbing off on any spawn of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 I went into a history class at work to fix some classroom computer thing. But something about the teacher caught my attention. I had to turn back and look, and I said "You're Special Forces, aren't you?" He was. Not past tense, but forever present tense. Retired Army Special Forces, teaching history to college students.I say he can teach whatever he wants, show any movie he wants. Ok by me.

granda080 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Teachers are pretty much split 50% family focused and 50% with a drinking problem. It's the job...causes them to drink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's like hes 2 different people, at school and out of school he carries himself appropriately for the situation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ama146 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 So' date=' what? In my highschool we used the Bible as a history/science/math book. [/quote']Christian schools are what's wrong with our education system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmh_sprint Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 We recieved a nasty-gram from our son's 1st grade teacher bitching at us because he did more work than he was supposed to and messed up her plan for working with him that day. All i could do was shake my head in disbelief. We wrote a note back stating we will never stop our son crom doing more work than he is required to do. Should be an interesting conference next month.

snot Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 According to Google' date=' only 1 child per 12 attend Christian schools. Based on these numbers, I don't think we can blame theological schools on our current problem. It's deeper than that. Lazy parents. Lazy teachers. Piss-poor attempt at government oversight. (read: controls funds, but lacks any positive influence)[/quote']I agree with this...my parents made me do my home work. Even in high school I worked and still had to do my home work and chores before bed. I had a few teachers that did care and I learned so much from them.

VanDy Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 So your son did more work than expected and this is a bad thing? That's just ridiculous! I was always lectured for not living up to my potential, but never for doing too much, wowWe recieved a nasty-gram from our son's 1st grade teacher bitching at us because he did more work than he was supposed to and messed up her plan for working with him that day.

chevysoldier Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Christian schools are what's wrong with our education system.I doubt that very much. I went to a Catholic school, 1st through 8th grade. High school was public. My freshman and most of my sophomore year was spent sleeping because I was already way ahead of everyone else and still aced my classes. As long as religion isn't forced down kids throats, it's not a problem. Most of the kids from my class have gone on to be fairly successful and contributing member of society. We had teachers who cared and would go the extra distance for a student, whatever it took. High school wasn't like that. Yeah I had a few really good teachers who cared, but not to the extent of the teachers from the private school. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
