POWIP Piece of Work In Progress

Teachers and the Captive Audience

Let's see... now, we are told, year-round public indoctrination education is a necessity.  Because, you know, we have done without it so long that something significant must have changed for the group of people who benefit most from the status quo seek to change it.

The cynical among us will immediately notice this push for what it is.

1) a push-back against people who have decided to yank their kids out of the public education morass. that is, homeschoolers - who tend to be all God-bothery and racisty - desiring, you know, the opportunity to spare their children from statethink. I must say, the un-doing good parents among us must do on a daily basis is quite a task. We must undo all manner of inconvenient memes introduced to and then chiseled into our beloved childrens' brains. Gay "Marriage" and Globular Warmongering come to mind. But, we could easily throw in "alternate" lifestyle marketing, anti-Christian, pro-Muslim fascism.

2) countering the obvious truth that those very high-minded (but not real smart) public indoctinairres are found to be pigs at the trough. Cadillac benefits none but senators and fat unionistas can claim, 3 months off, early retirement, pensions, and secondary careers after retirement... sure. they do it for teh children.

I could go on. And I might.

But there is also another segment of the population who would love for my children to go to school year-round. Namely, "working moms." I put it is quotes because it seems to me the hardest working women I know are the stay-at-home variety, whose work is paramount and from which never is a paid vacation.

Let's face it: if those damnable accessories weren't so damnably demanding a woman might be able to climb the ladder faster and save some cash in the meantime - kids at school do not result in day-care bills, you see.

It is all crap. And it has nothing to do with being competitive. I have observed in the workplace that some folks have the remarkable ability to spend 60 hours doing what should take 40. I have seen projects afforded 250 hours which could have been done in 120 but ended up taking 275 hours. Am I wrong to assume that a teacher might be completely ok making more money doing 1/4 less work any given day - and having 25% more time to do it? Am I wrong to presume that the next step would be to claim, as is always the case, that teh pay will not suffice for having expanded hours?

I guess my real issue has to do with marketing of the concept. We will be told it is for the children. We will be instructed that a year-long school year is necessary for "America to remain competitive in the global economy." This, coming from people who have demon-strated the highest degree of ignorance as it pertains to the marketplace and the basic economic ins-and-outs.  But, in reality, the motivation will be most obvious to any who actually retain the ability to critically think: what teachers want these days has ZERO to do with teh Children (who are our future, etc.) and EVERYTHING to do with selfishness.

I say: f*ck em. Next to government bureaucrats, public school teachers are the worst.
