I'd be curious to see how many people would be this upset if Bush had wanted to make the same address.

 

I would want to preview it first.

Do you submit your lectures verbatim for review to someone?

 

My administrator---in the form of a lesson plan. Plus we are guided by mandated curriculum --- apples and oranges.

Interesting. I had no idea that teachers had to submit their lectures word-for-word in advance of presenting them. I figured they had to submit an outline, or sylabus, or some such too. Never knew they had to be complete texts.

Or YOU could send me a permission slip and let ME decide to let my children see it at the time it's presented.

 

Or, we could not watch it live, allow time for the teachers to preview the material after it had been broadcast, and then, if appropriate, show it at a time where it would "fit" into our curriculum. Or, the parent could decide to keep the child home and watch it live with them. I am sure it would be deemed an excused absence.

Note, I said lesson plan. And note, I said we, as teachers, are pretty much hemmed in to core content, not a lot of opportunity for deviation. For the record, I really don't see the big deal about being afforded an opportunity to preview it first, like I said before, I don't show anything without previewing it. If indeed the address was just about staying in school and getting an education, then perhaps I could work it into future lessons that fit with core content. I would do this no matter who the President was.:walk:

Anyone that believes human beings known as teachers do not on more than the rare occasion let their political/religious beliefs come through has their head in the sand.

I guess I don't understand why the summary isn't satisfactory to you. I don't see what benefit a full transcript might be. A lot of people use bullet points to keep them on track and never even have a full transcript written out.

On the rare occasions I've spoken in public, that's what I've done.

I would be, as I made clear. :thumb:

I teach US History to 5th graders---in a public school setting. I purposely point out when I am teaching that this is from the perspective of such and such (i.e. an American Colonist) and this is from the perspective of such and such (i.e. a British Loyalist.) I tell them that there are many sides to a story and multiple perspectives that need to be looked at in order to get the whole picture. While I consider myself a patriot and I love our country I do not tell kids we have always been right ---- that would be foolish.

:thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

 

Too bad all teachers aren't like you! :ylsuper:

This may have come up already, as I haven't read every word of every thread.

 

It occurs to me that those who are terrified of the thought of the President addressing our school children (it must be tough living in constant fear) might want to consider enrolling their children in schools that do not receive federal funds, and all those nasty strings that are attached.

:lol:

 

Terrorized? Fear? I love it, question or speak out about your dislike about something Obama does and the labels fly. :lol: :lol: :lol: Living in constant fear! That's rich! :lol:

Perhaps Obama can take a few questions from the children.

 

I continue to be absolutely astonished that so many are dead-set against having the President of the United States address our school children. Cooties are not transmitted electronically.

 

Maybe sublimally:eek:
