As a teacher, I know that we work hard to build character,social skills and morality in our students. We ask them to be respectful and polite. We teach them to recognize bullying and how to handle bullying. We teach them to be team players and how to help one another.
It's both a joy and an honor to support parents as we build a new world together. We are all a part of their village. It just wouldn't be acceptable for us to stand in front of children and use unacceptable language or to be bullies. We don't spend any time looking for the worst in people and exploiting it, exaggerating situations, or outright lying on others. That's not the behavior that we want our students to observe or to display. That's not how a peaceful, livable society is built. I'm embarrassed about this political season. We aren't cheerleaders who cheer for any person just because we have always been on one side or the other. It's not so much about a political party as it is about the content of the character and the truth in the heart of a person who is looking to represent us all. What are our students,our children and our grandchildren learning?
