Message: [QUOTE="huskeynut, post: 2242204, member: 750"] Some great points being made. I taught for 33 years before pulling the plug. Much of what is being said is true. We called the overly protective parents "helicopter parents." Always hovering around, watching you every move and picking apart every word and phrase. During my 33 years, education became less about education. Standards were compromised. The "me" generation showed. The concept of the "trades" being an integral part of education disappeared. Everyone had to go to college which is one of the biggest lies education came out with. And I could go on. Now don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed the bulk of my career. Being a band director was a great fun. But eventually the tank ran out of gas. [/QUOTE]
