I was a teacher's aide my senior year of high school, which was the last year of high school, and I was a teacher's aide for a World War 2 history class.
It was a general education level, which meant any answer these kids put had to be marked correct, because it showed they tried.
Now one girl in the class found out about this loophole and when posed with the essay question of what caused #WorldWar2 to start, she wrote a full essay on "Because the House Fell on the #WickedWitch of the West".
Now, the teacher that I was being a teacher's aide for ended up getting in a huge fight with the principal because he hated marking this correct because it was fundamentally untrue.
But at the end of the day, he was forced to mark this correct and give her credit for this. That's #NoChildLeftBehind, baby. (t y) #Oz #Wicked
World War Two was the archetypal good war. And ask any liberal, FDR was the archetypal good president. But don't ask Millard Lampell, Lee Hays, Pete Seeger, and Woody Guthrie -- The Almanac Singers.[1] They released Songs for John Doe[2] in 1941 and it's full of anti-draft, anti-war, anti-FDR songs, inspired by the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940, the first peacetime conscription law ever enacted in the US.[3]
And are you afraid to fight, Billy boy, Billy boy?
Are you afraid to fight, charming Billy?
You can comе around to me when England's a democracy...
