Substitute Teaching as an octogenarian
I am substitute teaching many
days now in the Westerville area as close to home as possible. I learn things about the individual schools
and the students of ages 10 through 19.
The maturity levels stand out by age progression and that reflects good
homes and good teaching to me.
I also like to check out the
library and I found an extremely prominent and visible post for our students to
read in one high scholl library this week. It was a map of the USA with the heading:
“Active Hate Groups” in the United States.
This was from 2010 and it listed 892 such groups, which surprising to
me, included groups with Christian Identity – although last on the list. The list was compiled from law cases pursued
by the “SPLC (Southern Poverty Law Center)”.
I searched a little later and
found that the SPLC was started by Julian Bond.
They are a liberal group of lawyers.
Now, I must agree that bombing
of abortion centers is a criminal act; however, the abortion centers themselves
are criminal acts to this Christian Conservative American. Two wrongs don’t make things right.
I wish there existed prominent
maps of “Active Love Groups”. It should be dominated by Christian groups
such as Salvation Army and Catholic and Protestant churches. The liberal politicians and press have seen
to it that those groups get no press coverage and many schools don’t want to
impress our students with the positive good in the USA.
I love association with the
students and I love seeing how they are nourished in our various schools. I only recently began subbing, but I have
taught at Delaware, Olentangy, Gahanna and Westerville elementary to high
school levels. I have part time taught
as an adjunct at CSCC for over forty years in engineering, manufacturing and
mostly math subjects.
I remain impressed by young
American students, but I admit to not enjoying any incident of leftist
influence our national media and too- long- in- control leftist progressive politicians
and national media wield upon them in not at all subtle ways.
I was in an Olenttangy Middle
school library yesterday and found no such prominant signs.
The quiet majority still
exists and I am not ashamed tpo tout those types in the American society.
