parents are without even a shadow of a doubt the worst part about teaching. they are the bane of a teacher's existence, and far more problematic than even dumb govt. driven curriculum.
as to your kids being indoctrinated, its not something a good parent should worry about. dont send your kid to school a blank canvas and no one will be able to paint it a rainbow wearing furry.
Parents should be the worst part about teaching, they have the most reason to be critical of a teacher and they may be wrong sometimes but it doesn't matter because it is their child, not the teachers or the governments. If teachers can't handle that they should find an profession that doesn't involve other peoples children.
What is being a good parent exactly? Do you have a step by step guide of how to raise your child so as to be immune from societal pressures and propaganda? I assume it would be a massive tome of information so I doubt you want to write it all out here, but maybe you should get that published.
What about stupid people? Should their kids be doomed to a backwards education because they didn't mentally condition their child for the public school system?
It seems like you always play devils advocate for the establishment position on basically every issue I've seen you talk about, why downplay these peoples anger? Do you think having this stuff in schools is beneficial for anyone?
