Unless the parent or adult who is responsible for the welfare of that child promotes and encourages the thoughts and ideas generated by the teacher, very little can be accomplished.
Parents — and not the school system, churches or the community — must take a larger part in the education of their children.
Sounds like the guy is encouraging homeschooling to me.
With stories about child molesters and predators, it is wise for parents to warn their children. But many times, it teaches the child not to trust anyone, not even teachers. This sends the wrong message to the child and influences a child to associate with other children who may lead them in the wrong direction. Years ago, children were taught to respect teachers and other adults as they would their parents. Today, they are taught not to respect or listen to anyone but their parents.
Apparently Paul L. Burnley doesn't realize that this is the vaunted socialization that public school jingoist demand for children.
