We seem to lack an ability to stand against the societal and corporate status quo. Well, while I was in this class, I got a frightening insight into the minds of the teachers of the next generation.
Teachers are perhaps the most influential of all professions.
Nowadays, they often see more of the kids than the parents do, which I guess justifies the numerous hoops and hurdles that the College of Education sends us through. Teachers, being so influential and such an important aspect of a child's life, have a grave responsibility. They are under vast amounts of scrutiny and often have their methods questioned. But let's talk about the personal lives of these individuals. In this class, we heard several examples of teachers and their rights to privacy, what they do in their off time, who they date, what they do with them and what sexual orientation they are.
