If they don't nurse the students' self-esteem profs often don't get tenure. But no one cares if the students aren't writing or doing math well.Mitchell Langberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722335216553899790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2555123713188257297.post-46859242510010047532011-11-13T19:45:13.144-05:002011-11-13T19:45:13.144-05:00http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/warner-todd-husto...http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/warner-todd-huston/2008/06/29/google-shuts-down-anti-obama-sites-its-blogger-platform<br /><br />Google Shuts Down Anti-Obama Sites on its Blogger Platform<br /><br />It looks like Google has officially joined the Barack Obama campaign and decided that its contribution would be to shut down any blog on the Google owned Blogspot.com blogging system that has an anti-Obama message. Yes, it sure seems that Google has begun to go through its many thousands of blogs to lock out the owners of anti-Obama blogs so that the noObama message is effectively squelched. Thus far, Google has terminated the access by blog owners to 7 such sites and the list may be growing. Boy, it must be nice for Barack Obama to have an ally powerful enough to silence his opponents like that!<br /><br />It isn't just conservative sites that Google's Blogger platform is eliminating. For instance, www.comealongway.blogspot.com has been frozen and this one is a Hillary supporting site. The operator of Come a Long Way has a mirror site off the Blogspot platform and has today posted this notice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2555123713188257297.post-28546674282286336852011-11-13T12:53:56.958-05:002011-11-13T12:53:56.958-05:00We are producing an entire population who refuse t...We are producing an entire population who refuse to acknowledge they are not perfect. No one is. If it is true we learn from our mistakes, then students should be thankful that you are trying to help.<br />My sister was a teacher in a private school. One of her students failed, and failed miserably. When she held the student back, the parents threatened to sue the school. The principal begged my sister to reconsider. My sister still refused. The principal passed the student, and my sister quit.<br />I wonder what became of the child? Students don't realize how very fortunate they are to have a teacher who really cares.<br />GOD Bless you, Mitchell.Mairihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12835022724045480221noreply@blogger.com
