6sixpoint_nobrows Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) So my little niece is four years old going on 30. she picks up things so fast and listens to just about everything i tell her. she listens and seems to really like deer hunting and tells me to always stop by when i shoot a deer so she can see it. She watches hunting movies with me all the time and always says she cant wait till she is a little older so she can go with me. so with all that said listen to this. Im over at my sisters house and ask my niece how pre school is going. She starts telling me about all the nice kids and how nice her teacher is. so far so good right? then she tells me how im bad because her teacher said you should never ever hurt an animal and shooting deer and hunters are bad. i know right!? i tried explaining to her that its ok and neccerssary and that her teacher just has an opionion and that im not bad for it being a hunter. but its like her mind is made up because she is taught to listen to her teacher. i really dont think this is something to be discussed in school let alone pre school. say hello to many months of damage control on this one! when i was in school the opener of shotgun season was almost like a national holiday and you were excused from school for a day. now they are teaching that hunters are bad and lawfully haresting animals is wrong. what is the world coming to : s Edited November 2, 2009 by 6sixpoint_nobrows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dance.and.shoot Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 now that's just sad...that teacher has every right to have an opinion, and she has every right to voice it, but to a bunch of 4 & 5 year olds who live in a state where hunting is big is out of line. she should've made clear that it's an opinion and she's not a miss know-it-all...or kept her mouth shut... I'd be giving her a piece of my mind if she had told my niece that. :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 I wonder how the subject came up in preschool ? If that was my daughter, she'd be going to a different preschool, or, I'd be on that woman like flies on .....rotten meat.:hammer1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunt or be Hunted Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 i would be going to that teacher and saying some not so nice things to her and my daughter would be going to a different school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 I would be having a long discussion with this teacher. Her job is to teach the ABC's not her personal or political views! Trouble with the schools today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dance.and.shoot Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 find your niece a shirt that says "My Uncle Hunts" and send her to school in it...HaHaHa!!! or for show-and-tell tell her she can take a hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HCO Team Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 This is a big concern in schools. Start brainwashing them when they are young... Mandi, my daughter came home last year (Sophomore) from school so mad she was ready to spit nails. Her Spanish teacher had announced that anyone that eats deer meat is poor. Amazing, ignorance is bliss however, it effects our rights more than we realize. Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerClay Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) As a school teacher I deal with teachers in my building of the same mentality. Schedule a meeting with the teacher and kindly ask her not to force her beliefs on your child. If she continues then speak with the principal.

We never had this problem in our school, I grew up in a small town and the majority of my teachers were also hunters. Our school was always closed on opening day of shotgun season.

Swamphunter Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 The school system today makes me angry over their "hands off" policy. I understand the theory behind it, but in our school system, if you are involved in a fight, BOTH parties are suspended. It seems that they prefer to have a child drop to the ground and go into the fetal position to protect themselves from bullies, than to fight back. I have instructed my kids that if a bully is hurting them, and there are no teachers around, they ARE TO defend themselves. The school sets up rules that are removing my childs lawful right to self defense away. Section 35.10 on the NYS Penal Law, makes allowances for this. I have been very clear with the school on this and explained to the principal AND the teachers that should my child merely defend themselves from a bully, and there is any repercussions from the school I will be forced to take legal action. Seems they are teaching children how to become victims now-a-days. :hammer1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyohunter Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 since this is your niece and not your daughter, your ( sis or bro) will have to schedule a meeting with this teacher, but by all means, go with. the teachers opinions are not to be taught to 4 year old pre schooler....

Isn't indifference the exact same as the person doing the bullying? thats how i was raised, if you see someone being picked on, and you do nothing about it, your just as bad as that person. All in all im still talkling to her trying to get it out of her head and she isnt having it. this is going to take some time all because of someone getting a little too power hungry:poke: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michiganbuckhunter Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 that is totally wrong for a teacher to do that. And to a pre-schooler? I have a lot of teachers who hunt and my friends and I have conversations to them about hunting but they don't say anything to people who don't hunt. Thats just wrong to say stuff like that to kids. It's anypersons opinion but it should be kept in their own mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamphunter Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Hey there is no doubt that teachers have one of the toughest jobs going. I give them the utmost of respect. In todays society where 12 year old kids have lawyers, and a mommy and daddy that see no fault in jr, teachers definitely put up with loads of crap. I think a lot of teachers probably feel the same way we do, but are governed by someone higher as we all are. Right, wrong or indifferent... my kids are taught to defend themselves and each other, no matter what the consequences..... (and yes, I am a conservative ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and yes, I am a conservative ) very very true, what you have taught them or probably the same morals and lessons that you were been taught as you were younger. the kinds of things a parent should teach there kids. im with ya man, oh and dont sell your self short, if i remember right your in law enforcement and you guys put up with a lot crap as well lol:) i think im gonna snag kyle (my niece) this saturday and have her come sit with me and see what she thinks. as of right now im trying to explain what facts and opionions are:) thats guys for letting me vent a little bit. oh and ps im not bashing on school teachers by any means. i had a teacher in high school that made a big impact on my life and think highly of teachers for what they do each day.

stevebeilgard Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 if it were my niece, i'd have a talk with that teacher and the principle. she has a job, and part of that job is not indoctrination to her believs, it's teaching. so, stick with the subject you're teaching, and teach it.
