Not to go OT, but I think what you're asking comes more from parents than teachers. My son approaches every military, police, fire, or other public service member with a "thank you for your service."

Sorry to keep the off topic thing going but if you think some of our children are not being indoctrinated to teacher’s personal, political leanings, by many of our teachers and “professors” in this country, then you are pretty naive.
This is well known to be rampant in our schools and colleges today. Parents can teach what they choose to but teachers must allow our children to think for themselves while presenting them a balanced unbiased view.
I do commend you, as a teacher, for teaching your own children to respect our military and first responders.

Why can parents indoctrinate or teach whatever they want? I never knew my parents political leanings or who they voted for.

I think the point is that there are things a parent CAN teach their children that a school teacher CAN'T- a definitive example would be religion.

On the schooling subject- there are systems that can't even expect/insist that a student actually do school work. You can't make students do anything.

Millions of students left classrooms to protest fossil fuels during the Childrens March this past week.

Yes and they were allowed and encouraged by guess who? Teachers!

I'm sure y'all had issues with student protests about Vietnam and Civil Rights, too?

I'm glad kids are getting involved--they've been left a country that needs lots of fixing.
