Whitney Houston Reportedly Died of Alcohol and Prescription Drug Mixture: Surprising or Expected?

I teach in the PUBLIC schools. There is a separation of Church and State. Therefore sir, Religion is not taught in public schools. Read your constitution.
I have also taught in private schools early in my career, both Jewish and Christian, where religion was part of their curriculum. While many of those schools have excellent academics, I have found that the Public school education gives students more opportunities and they get a better education. In private schools the administration panders to the people who pay their child's tuition. THAT is how they stay in business. If a learning disabled child needs special help but the parents don't want to be embarrassed by that label, they pay enough and the school ignores that the child has special needs. They usually don't make accommodations that are required in the Public school system. In the Public school, ALL children are given an individualized educational plan and it is always documented and monitored by law to make sure the child meets all the state requirements for mastering their grade level standards to enable them to pass all tests and be ready for college. That also means using that extra hour of religious instruction for extra work on the basics. I took my own children to religious schools on Sunday and left their regular education to the Public schools. Both boys were gifted students in the 99% nationwide and graduated Magna Cum Laude from college. I believe in the Public school system. I can tell, from the way you write that you need to go back to school and refresh your grammar and educational understanding of civics. :D You can pray to G-d all you want, but trust me, my IQ and educational background will outmatch your desire to be mean and try to denigrate me. ((Look it up.) I am probably way more devout in my religious training than you are, because I am not mean spirited, I just try to educate and help others to research rather than say things that make no logical sense. Again, there are classes in all subject areas you can take to help you continue to learn as you go through life. I suggest you take advantage of adult education that the public school systems all over this country provide in every community.Peace out.

Less than half of all teachers are Union members in my county. In a free country teachers do NOT have to join the teacher's Union.
And don't blame public education for your inability to spell. Blame yourself for not taking advantage of using a dictionary or spell check! Not everyone is a great speller. I never was. I looked EVERYTHING up until it was ingrained in my head and I encourage my students to do the same. ( I wrote an educational grant about how games like scrabble and chess help students learn and it was published. Whatever clever ways make kids learn, that is what teachers need to do. )
But, seriously, you need to stop blaming everyone else and take some responsibility for your own actions. If spelling isn't your thing, then figure out strategies to make yourself better at it. AND spell check is the greatest invention ever!!! I have published not only several educational grants that teachers adapt and get money for their schools and classrooms, but I have written short stories as well and use spell check like my Bible. Before that was invented, in college I had a little book of just words in ABC order and I asked permission to use it with every essay I wrote. I was a great writer, but a crummy speller, so I did everything I could to improve my chances of getting that A in school. I never had a teacher refuse me because they saw I was determined to do my best. I went to public school too. AND...I still have that little book, all tattered now, but it is on my desk in my classroom and I tell my students to use it whenever they need it. I could go on about my strategies to help kids learn, but I won't bore you...(.Mostly it is letting them feel confident about themselves and not letting a weakness like spelling get in the way of trying their best or succeeding.)
Also, no teacher gets suspended with pay in my state. If they get suspended that action is severe and is not something treated lightly. Nobody gets tenure anymore as that was taken away too. I don't know anyone who teaches anything but test standards because we are judged on our scores and our school is rated accordingly. They are down our throats every second. My students received the 2nd highest writing and reading scores in the entire state. In order to do that I wouldn't have time to do anything but work with the kids. I tell them if they ask me a controversial question to go home and discuss it with their parents. I wouldn't dream of going down that road. My job is to teach. Plain and simple and hopefully, motivate children to find a love of learning . I know there are other educators out there who do that too. Don't blame a couple bad eggs for the entire population of dedicated men and women in my field. We don't just teach for the money, we do it for the love of educating and for the children. Honestly, teachers care about learning. Politics can be left to their parents or their college professors!!!
