I had her for 4th grade
I never really appreciated what a good teacher she was until now
After saying the pledge we'd always shout "bless our troops" as loud as possible
And she used to talk about president Reagan a lot and eventually started a presidential bobble head collection
I've never heard of kids doing that in a public school
Because they don't
Then again I live in a liberal metropolitan area
Me too
I don't think I'll ever find a teacher as good as she was
It's a shame I only had her one year for 4th grade and not when I was older
Perhaps its better that younger kids get such a sentiment planted
Kids are not to be used as props, but encouraging responsible citizen behavior is never wrong
Too often children are seen but not heard
True
One of my most prominent memories of her class was how to give a proper handshake
Firm grip, make eye contact, and smile
Aside from getting that I was not going to be heard
Cursive was the lasting thing I learned
I never learned how to write in cursive or type properly
I just winged how to type
I can only type with two fingers 😅
It's not efficient but eventually I'll learn how to type properly
Muscle memory has dictated that I can roughly type everything alright
Sometimes in a leisurely manner, others in a blazing fast manner
I bet one day they're going to get rid of the pledge of allegiance altogether in a majority of the public school system.
Because it's offensive and racist and yadda yadda.

*How could we hold everyone to the same standard?*
Tell me about it
*That would be soooo discriminatory!*
The school system right now is so broken it's honestly funny.
It's not funny
It's our future going through that ideological jungle
It's already happening
No one is obligated to stand
I'm one of the few people who actually stand and say it
I didn't reliably stand until Trump was in office
I never truly appreciated how lucky I am to be an American until I started learning what Trump was doing for the US
I don't mean funny as in the laugh at it kind of funny. I mean it as in it's so bad it's funny kind of thing.
Believe me, I'm as shocked as anyone else
