I tried to reply to the latest email you sent me, but it said your email ID was invalid. So Here it is.
I once read a minister's book where he said, "You should not be a minister unless you can't be anything else." I took a few years before I figured out why he said that. And I'm guessing you don't want to be anything but a teacher.
As a Libertarian, I am a fan of Thomas Sowell. I recently re-read his book, "Black Rednecks and White Liberals." It is a collection of his essays. One of them is titled "Black Education: Achievements, Myths and Tragedies." I found what I assume is the original essay online; The Education of Minority Children. It reinforces my opinion that Government-run (i.e. Public) Education is failing our children.
In case you are not familiar with Libertarianism, we follow the Non-Aggression Principle , basically a negative version of the Golden Rule. Do NOT do unto others as you would NOT have them do unto you.
I would be happy to explain to your students that Politics is not one dimensional, Left and Right, but is two dimensional, personal liberty and economic freedom.
