The post raises and interesting question as to how much freedom should teachers have to veer off the curriculum in the name of current affairs which could effectivily produce views in the child that is either different or not acceptable to the parent.<br /><br />A fair amount of conversation has occurred about the topic in Bill 44 debates.<br /><br />My last child graduated a year ago and we were fortunate to recieve course outlines from the teachers that we could review etc. At that time I had confidence of the content delivered and never questioned it much further. <br /><br />Just thoughts.CShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13965306115870524153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-848541039913019341.post-80649739928686884592009-12-09T17:07:26.394-07:002009-12-09T17:07:26.394-07:00Of course, you are right.

Rather, it is par for the course for many who grew up during the cold war. <br /><br />It's an "either-or" mindset. Back then, you only had two choices: beat them or join them. Neither included ignoring the big bad wolf.<br /><br />If you chose the "beat them" side, as represented best by Reagan and Pope John Paul, it required a healthy measure of faith and hope to win the day as opposed to the angry, cynical narcissism of the "join them" crowd.<br /><br />As you can imagine, there remains a lot of angry lefties demanding to know why this generation of hopefuls should feel so special.UsualSuspecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08261784708706958895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-848541039913019341.post-79255056440992342832009-12-09T12:27:44.059-07:002009-12-09T12:27:44.059-07:00My children were also taught AGW.

The way to succeed in school is to remember it, regurgitate it on the test and forget it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-848541039913019341.post-14543677382780425282009-12-09T11:57:08.448-07:002009-12-09T11:57:08.448-07:00I wonder if you could charge a teacher with child ...I wonder if you could charge a teacher with child abuse for teaching AGM, or showing Al Gore's movie in school.<br />If one was to teach Mein Kampf as gospel to children you would certainly be charged, so why not for teaching something equally as evil and false.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
