Actually, one day off from school is not going to make a hill of beans of difference in a kid's education.
Well, here they could be learning their multiplication tables but instead are being forced into a life of homosexuality. What a difference a day can make.

Doesn't that statement mean you're prejudiced and a bigot??

Nor in the actions of bullies.

I agree, especially since the only people who "took a day off" on National Day of Silence were a few misguided kids who thought skipping school would be a good way to protest against the crazy left-wing idea of not beating up gay kids.

Meanwhile, the participants in National Day of Silence were at school attending class, doing assignments, etc. They simply did not speak for a day.

Believe me, we are working on it.

But it sure would help if their parents would cooperate, rather than passing their bigotry on to their children.

I highly doubt there was very much learning going on for anyone. Most teachers participate, its pretty hard to teach without being able to comunicate.

I dont mean by indoctrinating them, I mean by simply making them intelligent through quaility education.

How could these children participate in class discussions if they were observing this ridiculous and contemptuous "day of silence"?

It is downright rude, disrespectful to the teachers and wasteful of time.

If any child had refused to join in class discussions I would have marked them down a grade and possibly called for a meeting with the parents.

goes to show what a lousy teacher you would have been

no surprise there - for any number of reasons

Conservatism: Self-centered mean-spiritedness fueled by ignorance and misguided self-importance.

Bigotry is a social disease.

By your abysmal standards - yes.

I believe children need to learn discipline and respect for adults.

Why did you leave teaching at such an early age?
