I think that a lot of us here have at least a few teachers to thank! After all, if it weren't for teachers, some of us wouldn't be able to read or post the stuff we do on here. For that matter, if it weren't for teachers, some of us wouldn't know the first thing about the workings of the US government or world politics.
For some reason, though, certain conservatives here seem to be fond of bashing teachers. Because of the fact that a lot (but not all) teachers tend to be left-leaning in their political views, some conservatives like to spout out the old adage, "Those who can't, teach." First of all, let me say that when I was in grade school and college, I had instructors who were both liberal and conservative. That being said, though, 99.9% of them didn't make any attempts to indoctrinate us. Rather, they dealt with the subject matter of their classes. Also, I would like to say that not just anyone can be a good teacher. Teaching requires talent, and good teachers deserve credit.
