My idiut blogmate had given me permission to defend the kinds of teacher brilliunce that teachers love to repeat over and over and over. As I have already explained, these are not clichés. They are copy-and-paste saying that become wittier every single time that we mindlessly parrot them. That's why I want to take the time to defend these non-clichés in a manner that shouldn't make you sick of hearing them over and over and over similar to how we sound to my blogmate who is sick of hearing them over and over and over. I'm not kidding. He is legitimately sick of hearing these non-clichés over and over and over.
Today's witty copy-and-paste parroted non-cliché: Our Children™
As a teacher, I am grateful for parents who give us Our Children™. Once you give them to us, they truly are Our Children™. Some don't like us to refer to Our Children™ in a possessive manner, but why wouldn't we? All you need to know about how we view Our Children™ can be found online. What do they say about he who owns the youth?
Education has taken on contradictory meanings. Some of us reject using the term to refer to our schools. It can be stated that our schools are at war with education. This blog was initially developed for the purpose of sharing some quick (rather than conclusive) pro-education/anti-schooling thoughts. This has been expanded to include a voice from the other side of the war. Admittedly, this voice was picked for its tendency to show the absurdities of the pro-schooling/anti-educational side.
