Should I become a teacher even though I am a hardcore conservative? I am a junior in college, I want to be a teacher but something is holding me back. I'm a hardcore conservative and I know teachers are stereotyped as liberal, and I don't know if I want to be stereotyped like that AND be the only person at my job that is conservative. Any advice or experiences? |
In my many years of teaching I have worked with:
some intelligent sports teachers,
some not so bright math teachers,
some straight male drama teachers,
and I have found a spectrum of political thought from very liberal to very conservative. And some great teachers have been found on all sides of the spectrum.
You will probably find, if you do go into teaching, fellow teachers both more liberal and more conservative than you. |
How do you feel about teachers expressing their own political opinions to their students? I'm in 10th grade. I go to a very small private school with a very small staff, so the administrator also happens to be the director and a teacher for 5 different subjects. He is a hardcore conservative and traditionalist. He hates Obama with a burning passion, and he sees absolutely no problem with broadcasting it to a group of students ages 11-19. It angers me. I've spoken to him about it and he continues.
Is this wrong and not professional? Please give me your thoughts |
I think it's okay for a teacher to mention what they believe to students. However, I feel it's a teacher's job to explain that there are many different sides to every issues and that students should actively work to figure out their own perspectives. It sounds like if he's being very fire and brimstone about it, then it needs to be dealt with.
I would talk to the principle or another administrator above his head. If they don't seem likely to do anything, talk to your parents and possibly other students parents about it. Chances are, if the parents don't agree, they will do something about it.
If the parents don't agree, there's not much you can do other than to tell the students your own side every chance you get. That will make the other students think more critically and force them to make up their own mind.
You can't change the teacher's mind, but you can do what you feel is right in terms of stopping him. |
I need some hardcore Star Wars trivia, it can't be about anything else than the original 3 movies? ok so my anatomy teacher is a hardcore star wars fan. He said we will get extra credit if we ask him a question about the original 3 star wars films and if he doesn't know the answer, i already asked him a few question...but he knew all the answers so i need some hard question...the questions can't be about abything that didn't take place in the movies I need questions and answers |

Can anyone give me hardcore motivation to make me want to, or enjoy studying? I don't understand why I cannot force myself to do it. When it comes down to the last night before test, I will start cleaning the house or working out to prolong it. I then often end up half assing it and doing bad etc. I feel like I'm letting myself, parents, teacher, and friends all down doing so poorly in school. I don;t understand whats wrong with me. Can any one help me please? |
| You are getting out of concentration and interest in study.Probably lost interest in the subject(s) that you are studying or perhaps lack of motivation to achieve what you want to achieve. My advice is that you should form a study group with some friends who can give you this push and moral supports that you dearly needs. Work out a study time-table and get it started asap. Hope that this turn-around will amuse you in your good academic results. |
Rosie O'donnell is a hardcore Democrat shouldn't Obama make her a Czarina? What job would be the best fit? Czarina of Jr. High female gym teachers? |
| Speech writer. Obama is always playing for a laugh. |
At Collin Community College in Spring Creek, which of these teachers are the best to take classes with? Victoria D. McCrady, Lari D. Ranta, Marlea E. Trevino, Diane L. Hedrick, Nina A. Serebrianik, William C. Brannon?
I would like to know your opinion in their class, just to know if it's easy to at least pass their class with a 2.5 GPA and higher. Just an easy going class, not a hardcore one.
Thank you :) |
Sorry but I doubt anyone on here goes to Collin Community College. Why don't you try asking some students who currently attend that college or try a site such as ratemyprofessor.com
Also I'm sure that with enough hard work youd be able to pass any class with a 2.5 or higher GPA. |
Would you let a former hardcore porn star be your guys teacher in elementary or junior high school? by former I mean, 2-3 years ago |
Um, I'd be wary, but yeah. Occupation doesn't determine character.
As long as I didn't hear about anything inappropriate... |
Does sending guys to boarding schools mean that parents want to stay away from their responsibilities? Sure teachers there are hardcore strict and you get nice skinny stick mark on your hand if you don't do homework but what about the time that guys want to spend with their parents?
Yes there are good and bad things that guys learn from other students but there are somethings that guys can only learn from parents. |
Yes, I agree with you. If parents only feels that study is very very very important then they are not wrong BUT a guy learns most of the qualities from their parents. Without which a guy is like a FLOWER WITHOUT FRAGRANCE..
Yes, of course if parents are not educated n have any family problem then its quiet a right decision to send their guy out of that place.
BUT, If parents are educated and have no problem in any sphere of life and just want some space for themselves then ITS BETTER NOT TO HAVE A CHILD BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO SPOIL A LIFE OF AN INNOCENT.
IT ALSO APPLIES TO UNMARRIED SINGLES OR COUPLES WHO KEEPS THE ABOVE MENTIONED THINKING.

Did the pilgrims invent hardcore pornography? My teacher told me that the pilgrims were into pornography, is this true and could they really watch them on there VCRs. Nothing freaky just a lil girl on girl and anal.
Is this true? |
| If you mean the pilgrims that settled the Plymouth colony in what is now the United States, no. Photography hadn't even been invented yet. |
Pranks to play on teachers? i need pranks to play on teachers. im mean hardcore SH*T. like slashing tires, egging houses etc...
My head master has accused me of cheating in a test. He has no proof. And has reported me to the examiners boards. I dindt even cheat. so pranks are needed... |
Instead of hardcore pranks, just do tons of funny ones! Like these:
*Put a note on his car that says, "Sorry about the dent, but I'm sure you can pay for it!" He'll be searching around his car for the dent that doesn't exist..
* Rub black shoe polish on the earpiece of his phone (If its black) Then call his number. He'll be walking around with a black ear!
* Tape half a plastic golfball on his car window, it'll look like someone threw a ball in their window
* Put tabasco sauce on the rim of his drink. He'll keep taking more drinks, and realize its just getting hotter!
* Superglue all the caps on his markers.
* Sneak in to his classroom and cover EVERYTHING in bubble wrap! Desks, pencils, books, floors, walls, chairs, EVERYTHING!!! He'll definitely be surprised!
That's about it.. Don't do anything like slashing his tires or egging his house because it'll cost him money to buy tires and clean the house. And its just rude! |
