My daughter's homework for tonight.

[AlCzervik]

5 questions

1) why are we at war
2) who is the enemy
3) what is the goal
4) when will it end
5) where is the fighting

this is from her history teacher and it's based on the child's knowledge and opinion. I thought this was an interesting assignment.

edited because i'm a moran.

[Cant trust em]

23. Teacher bias?

Let's hope that the teacher let's this become a discussion for students instead of a way for them to vent their own political beliefs.

[AlCzervik]

24. no rw bias at all, i know the teacher.

[KharmaTrain]

25. Sounds Like Your Daughter Has A Very Good Teacher

Kudos to any teacher who encourages kids to use critical thinking and reasoning...especially at that age. Hopefully your daughter does well in her assignment.

[AlCzervik]

28. they had a great debate during the last election, all side were represented

fairly and respectfully.

[Cant trust em]

26. Right or left wing, I don't care

I'm not interesting in which side the teacher takes. I'd rather not see a side at all. When talking with people I agree with I'll take devil's advocate just to have some kind of counter point. I hope that kids get that same type of treatment when they're learning. Ultimately that helps make our own opinions more solid.

[AlCzervik]

27. the teacher keeps his politics out of it--thank you.

he's a teacher and follows the guidelines.

[Cant trust em]

30. I wish that all teachers followed the guidelines.

I didn't mean any offense, I just know that plenty of teachers push agendas. Whether they are aware of it or not is another matter.

[AlCzervik]

31. at her school thats a big one thats followed.

it's a private school and i'm sure plenty of the kids have republican prents.

[Cant trust em]

33. That's awesome

I guess I'm extra sensitive on this issue because I'm tired of Republicans whining about how liberally biased everything is. I want to remove their excuses.

[AlCzervik]

34. well i don't think teachers are pushing the agenda other to learn, this is 6th grade

when i was in school i had no idea what political leanings any of teachers had.

[greenbriar]

32. I take offense to this...I am a teacher...history and my kids are hard pressed

to know how radical I am and how much I hate the mother fucking cocksuker he is in the peoples white house
