Dear parents: unless and until you understand who really decides what gets taught in your child's classrooms, you won't be able to understand why reforming the current system is impossible. It starts with recognizing that most "teachers" aren't what or who you think they are. 1/
They were neither selected for their "expertise" at anything, nor are they "well-meaning" by your standards. You make assumptions about the people in control of your children all day at their, and your own, peril.2/
Sucks to be a good teacher reading this, but my guess is good teachers reading this would agree, and be more than happy to go along with what I'm about to propose: parents should assume malicious intentions, and insist upon proof to the contrary, NOT the other way around.3/
The time for giving the profession the general benefit of the doubt is far behind us. If you approach police with extreme caution, you should do the same with everyone associated with education right now. The benign will appreciate your concern, because they share it./END
