Teachers Union Opposes Virtual K-8 Charter School
theodp writes "'You can't sit a child in front of a computer and expect him to learn things he needs to succeed in society,' said unimpressed Chicago Teachers Union president Marilyn Stewart of the Chicago Virtual Charter School, which will open to Chicago elementary school students this fall if approved by the state board of education."
shut their pieholes!
Fist Prost bitches!
After all, there's absolutely *no* reason for someone to be at school other than to learn is there? Who cares about forming relationships with other people, learning how to socially interact and getting exercise.
I think that we should just lock our children up until they're twenty one and by then they'll have learnt everything they need!
I thought my parent post would be an obvious joke, but apparently it ain't so.
...[insert awfully bad joke here]" - Overrated
"But of course you can" is a reply to 'You can't sit a child in front of a computer and expect him to learn things he needs to succeed in society,' and 'First post!' is the practical demonstration of that knowledge that someone needs in order to succeed in society.
Look! I even added "(an essential skill...)", to hilight, that I was joking, not trying to "Fristy piss".

Be yourself no matter what they say
School isn't about teaching "social skills" -- and whatever skills it does teach have more to do with subjecting yourself to hierarchy or ganging up on those who don't conform.
Despite whatever the teacher unions claim, public schools are an expensive and abysmal failure. The fact that parents line up to send their kids to charter schools whenever they open is testimony to that.
