A friend of mine posted that she'd been debating with a woman whose stance is that the teachers are government employees and they should therefore submit and take what they get, do as they're told... ugh. i appreciate my friend Kathy's feist, so i read the entire thread (something i rarely do) on facebook and i contributed the following:
if the government (govern=control; ment=mind) is supposed to be representing the people, shouldn't the greater good always be the ultimate goal of establishing educational institutions? democracy and inter-dependence are high integrity and must also be a process of constant negotiation. if we continue to hand over our power to portended "authorities" then we won't actually ever realize freedom.
Educators are also always learning, and we as humans always come up with improvements to facilitate our evolution.
Educators deserve reverence because they innovate and co-create with children.
CHILDREN are not only the future, but their innocent perception is critical for our advancement as a species.
