Teachers Fleeing in Droves

So, public school teachers are leaving the profession in droves, eh?

Frankly, that comes as no surprise to me, having sub-taught (more like babysat)  in the public school system for a short while back in the early 2000s.

Back then it was a nightmare, or what I termed “a warzone,” and it obviously has not gotten any better—it has gotten worse!

What does surprise me as to why so many teachers are leaving the teaching profession is that those cogitating on how to stem the tide keep ignoring the obvious.

THERE IS NO FEAR OF GOD IN PUBLIC EDUCATION!

Hence the godless have turned a once Christian project, the education of the masses, into hellholes where ignorance is championed.

Anyone with an ounce of biblical sense can spot the problem.

The Bible says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction” (Prov 1:7).

Oh, it’s not that an occasional student might graduate with the ability to add 2+2, spell his-her name correctly, or even tell what time it is.

It’s that the student’s profound knowledge of being able to do those things is predicated on nothing!

The connection between knowledge and meaning has been removed, neutralized, destroyed—kaput!

Ever since God became a byword in public education—some say starting back in the 1960s—it has become a swirling mass of confusion, conflict, and too many times, murder.

Atheists, agnostics, secular humanists, and sometimes outright religious cult members, have been allowed to commandeer the public education system and thereby destroy any traces of just what it means to be truly educated.

Boys and young men are not really boys and young men. No, they’re girls and young women, or something in between, if nothing at all.

The same applies to girls and young women.

Two plus two may not necessarily equal four. It’s whatever the New Math teaches the possibilities might be.

All white people are notorious slave owners. Therefore, tear down all Civil War statues and demand reparations. That’s what real history is about.

Garbage! Better yet, garbage in, garbage out. American students are being taught garbage, so they, in turn, produce garbage both in and out of the classroom.

Little hellions are now running roughshod over the teachers, and many administrators, who have received protection from the ACLU, NEA, or any one of a number of other Leftist-Marxist groups in society, whereby they can punch, kick, stab, bite, slap, spit upon, shout, scream, ignore, or in the worse cast scenarios, shoot them.

The result is that the teachers have had enough. Seventy percent of them are now contemplating quitting, and who can blame them?

That is, unless they helped contribute to the chaos by kicking God to the curb, as well. Then they reaped what they sowed.

Ooops. There’s that Bible getting in the way again.

Striking the fear of God into the rebellious is not going to be easy. It’s going to take a spine.

It is imperative, though, if the public education system is going to survive.

But, before the fear of God starts in the education system, it’s going to have to start in our churches and homes. Both of which are in many ways worse off than the public schools.

If dads and moms, and especially church leaders, do not fear God, then you may rest assured that the children will not either, except for an occasional convert that God has made despite all the ignorance going on.

There is no alternative and time is of the essence.

Public education is either going to do it God’s way, or it is going to suffer the consequences.

And right now, the consequences are already being seen by the number of teachers who are fleeing, some for their very lives.

Just imagine what it’s going to be like for the remainder, once the system completely collapses for failure to recognize the obvious.
