Being located in the heart of Sooner country :sick1: everyone here is either a huge Sooner fan or a bandwagon longhorn. Everything about these miserable people is centered around one or the other, everything! I send my 6 year old daughter off to Christian day camp which is named appropriately Camp Sooner. I guess at the end of the day the camp councilors tried to get all the kids to do a cheer for the Sooners. My daughter refused. She told the councilor that she was a Buckeye and that the Sooners stink and would not cheer for them. I guess it got to be quite a thing since a bunch of the councilors were Oklahoma State students and really rubbed it in to the Sooners. I guess they tried to bribe her with ice cream and everything but she refused. She said if she cheared for the sooners it would be a lie and she was having no part of it. I'm so proud right now I could burst.

Apparently the Oklahoma State councilors weren't aware that Oklahoma State stinks too?:slappy:

At a wedding over the weekend, one person in attendance asked if she take my girls home with them. My oldest asked her if she lived on a farm. The lady said "No, I live in Michigan."

Both of my girls then announced they'd never visit her.

Of course my wife gave me a scowl and muttered something about brainwashing. To which my oldest said "Yup!!"

my daughter

my daughter (OSU Grad) is a school teacher in Texas. apparently half the people there are texas fans and the other half are Okla fans. She is relentless in trying to convert her students into OSU fans lol. She gives extra credit for wearing Osu colors and items and is trying to teach them the fight song and OSU history:oh: :io:

As a professor, I have to say that I find stories like this very disturbing. I don't care how big a fan you are, nothing, I repeat, NOTHING, should be allowed to interfere with the receipt of a quality education.

It is clear to me reading this post that you should have a serious chat with your daughter about her priorities. Clearly, she is not succeeding as an educator. Education is about producing results and the competitiveness of the American economy hangs on the ability of our teachers to turn out students with appropriate insights into issues of world importance and with the ability to solve the world's most important problems.

So, while I hope that I am not offending you or your daughter, I have to ask you to take a step back and clearly think about the content of your post and the true effect your daughter's actions are having on her students.

I mean, let's be honest here. She clearly has not converted all of them yet has she? If she's giving extra credit, what in the heck else is she teaching those kids, who live in an area that seems to be sorely deprived of real insights into what makes a great football program, that would be worth full credit?

So, I don't care how big a fan these kids are of Texas or Oklahoma, this should not be allowed to interfere with these poor kids learning about the important things in life.

I mean if she is not willing to make the Ohio State fight song and Ohio State history the center of a quality education, then who is going to do it? No, while I think you should give her a pat on the back and encouragement from everyone at BP, as her father you are best placed to tell her that we are hoping to hear of a more appropriate incentive scheme and better results in the future.

After all, America's economy depends on it!

"Education is about producing results and the competitiveness of the American economy hangs on the ability of our teachers to turn out students with appropriate insights into issues of world importance and with the ability to solve the world's most important problems."

........ riiightt. Education at that level is about developing into a mature human; none of my teachers taught me that I was getting this education to service the economy. There is no problem with having a little bit of fun like that with your students. Your post is nothing but a bunch of opinonated bullshit. You are providing no factual insight to support your claim that these actions(which are probably being exaggerated in the first place) by this teacher are hurting the development of her students.


Claiming that our economy depends on whether or not some little kid got an extra gold star for wearing something scarlet and gray?..... I just don't see how that is interferring with any kind of development other than who they cheer for in sports. I bet most kids say, screw off, I like the Longhorns or Sooners or maybe an aggy or two.


Where do you teach so I can steer my future kids away?
