It is made up to ridicule so called "education reformers."

Carnival in now way challenges or threatens or tears apart the real world and its values, but it *reinforces* them. The prince may be a pauper for a day, a student may act like the school principal, and teachers may lend themselves as victims of bullying. All fun relies on the safe knowledge that the 'normal order' will be restored once the carnival has ended.<br /><br />Unfortunately, too many teachers cannot count on them being respected, they cannot even count on maintaining their jobs because of the turmoil that goes on in the education profession. This is why it is a bad time for a public 'dunk tank stoning'. It would be distasteful and unfunny. I hope I have helped you to understand why.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4825564092223985753.post-29594887751676450212012-08-12T00:17:38.670-07:002012-08-12T00:17:38.670-07:00For years and years we had dunk tanks with teacher...For years and years we had dunk tanks with teachers and administrators as the targets at the spring carnival at the elementary school where I used to teach. It was almost always the most popular attraction and the children and teachers who volunteered all loved it.

They do so because their cause can not hold up on face value alone, being dead set to force their moral opinion on the majority, they try to further their cause at any means. They appeal to the poor, uneducated, uninformed, or English illiterate majority to pass petitions that can be used in a court of law.<br /><br />In my opinion these tactics are borderline criminal.Michael Yenglinhttp://www.facebook.com/MYenglinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4825564092223985753.post-69379902937067319932012-08-10T19:43:35.847-07:002012-08-10T19:43:35.847-07:00Any event that legitimizes an attack on the teachi...Any event that legitimizes an attack on the teaching profession in order to legitimize or glorify an unproven nuclear option such as parent trigger, charter schools, or vouchers is tantamount to propaganda at it's worst!!!!
