Any teachers here? - Dubby - 09-19-2015

As a teacher, I noticed there's a good amount of teachers that share much the same views as me (regarding feminism, political correctness, SJW infiltration, etc) but feel that they have to keep their mouths shut.

They grumble and bitch in the teachers' lounge...and then go on with things as usual. Passing kids that should be failing, giving lip service to "diversity", and letting standards fall and fall and fall.

If you're a teacher or in education, shoot me a PM. Especially if you're in the Northeast or NY area. Don't know if there's much we can do, but maybe we could at least share ideas, complain, and write some stuff.

I've been thinking of starting a website for such discussion and writing...maybe we can start something together.

Just a thought, if anyone is interested.

I teach music privately, so when the parents aren't listening I will sometimes slip the student a red pill or two.
I didn't go down the route of teaching in schools, because I saw how much bullshit was in the curriculum in the UK, even before I understood many of the things I do now.

Quite a few of my friends have gone into teaching, and it seems a little crazy, especially the fact that we have shortages and if I became a teacher, I could quite end up teaching subjects I know nothing about like RE, maths or geography.

If that happens I will message you for help on keeping my sanity.

Actually I've started putting articles about learning and playing music on my website.

I talk about things that are understood here, but ignored everywhere else in music education.

Maybe we could have one huge website of neo-masculine teaching including many different subjects. I can contribute some articles about playing music.

Graduate school professor here- some of what you say is true (particularly the stuff about passing people regardless of the quality of work)- I've also noticed a great deal of entitlement among the students, and the idea that if they're paying tuition they "deserve" the degree, rather than working hard to earn it (plenty of incentive to spoon feed the kids just to get then through the classes).

That being said, in the sciences there isn't a lot of political correctness, mostly because it fails to come up much.

Slightly out of context, I'm in my 4th year of science program planning to do grad studies in plant sciences. Is a masters in science worth? or would alternative such as a MBA be better paying and easier jobs?

Hmmm.. I'm not sure if I can answer you without more details. My field is highly specialized, so it's fairly well-paid, but quite honestly I was lucky to find a university near me that was hiring someone with my particular skill set (I have friends and colleagues who continue to struggle to find good positions).

About the only advice I can give is this: If you're planning on an academic career, the more advanced degrees you have, the better. It will directly correlate with job opportunities, salary, and workload (and ability to get tenure). If you're thinking about the private sector, a really advanced degree might not help (and might be a hindrance based on tuition debt and the dreaded label of 'overqualified').

Also, as a general rule of thumb, private industry jobs pay better but with worse job security, vs. academic careers (particularly at state schools) which don't pay as well but have good benefits and decent job security.

I did my CELTA earlier this year. I had to bite my tongue several times when political correctness came up. One other prospective student wouldn't even use the word "actress".

That's sad because classrooms need industry veterans such as me (PhD, 15 years in industry).

I'm useless at class discipline, but I'd definitely win the students over by being that crazy chemistry teacher who used to do the dangerous experiments.

BTW I did my PhD in plant science. It was interesting but ultimately useless as there were so few jobs in that field. My salvation was that DNA sequence analysis needed Unix skills, and those landed me a 15+ year career in IT.

I just started working for an insurance company. That's a great niche to get into. No degree required and you can go onto specialise in stuff like risk management or compliance. If you're more outgoing then you'll probably want to go into a more sales orientated role.

I worked as a teacher for a college preparation school, or a "higher" high school for college preparation. One of my subject matters is Political Science. I think in my situation the college degree did not get me that much.

Why do the people bite their tongue? Apart from fear, its time constraints. In the end, many teachers, even educated ones, do not want to know what is going on. It challenges them for a variety of reasons [Image: wink.gif]

As to the pupils or students: They are goal-oriented. (If they learn, that is.) There is still some room left for an insight or two, but all in all, it was a limited environment.

As to the muffling effects of politcal correctness I can comfort you: It is a major problem over here as well. But we don't have anti-rape schooling for colleges yet. But if the situation continues, it is sure to come.

Same here. The current left-wing SJW government introduced sexual education in elementary schools a couple of years ago. This caused outcry among the conservative part of the population, but to no avail as all efforts by our conservative NGO-s to repeal the move failed.

To add insult to injury, last year the government also introduced a course called "civil education" in both elementary and high schools. So now we have institutionalised PC brainwashing in schools from early age. Our education system is incapable of properly educating children in subjects such as writing, math, science etc. (according to PISA tests), but on the bright side they'll learn about the wonders of homosexualism and how to be a politicaly correct citizen-slave in this new world order. Yay.

I worked as a substitute teacher for 6 months and I can say that although this seems terrible, it actually isn't the biggest problem. The main problem is the continued pampering of children by our education system. This has gotten to the point that (according to our official ministry of education rulebooks) it is forbidden to use violence against children whatsoever, in any situation. This literally means that if some teenager physically assaults you and you injure him during self-defense, you as a teacher can be held accountable.

This is only getting worse. A couple of years ago a high school kid murdered his chemistry teacher because he wasn't willing to give him a passing grade. This caused the kid to fail the entire year, as he had failing grades from two other courses, so what did he decide to do? Somehow he got his hands on a gun, walked into one of his teacher's classes and shot him dead.

Crazy world indeed.

Part of why I teach international, and am not interested at all in school teaching in the US, is that there are no "purple penguins" in Latin America. Though there is some degree of feminist infection here, at no time in my lifetime would "hermosa" be considered an offensive, objectifying or demeaning word, or any top-down push towards androgyny or fluidity in terms of gender identification. I don't have to be worried (terrified) if a kid gives me a hug as I would in the states.

Moto, could you share more about where you teach and the environment?
