Reading, Writing and Arithmetic/teasing - Who teaches our children?

So I have something to get off my chest.  I am not a teacher, I am parent, I am educated, I try not to judge but probably do at times, I try to respect people, I like to be informed and I have opinions.  This is my opinion and thoughts........I guess that goes without saying as this is my blog that is why I am "venting" on here and not facebook I don't want to start a debate.

I care what is being taught in schools.  I care about the education my daughters will learn.  I want the teachers to help teach them things that will create smart, caring, respectful young ladies.  I want my daughters to go to school to learn, so they can grow and mature to find a meaningful place in the world.   However, I do not expect teachers to raise my children, I do not expect teachers to be their parents - their supports, their friends, their mentors but not their parents. 

What happened to Reading, Writing and Arithmetic?  Time with peers, physical education.  I bet each of you can look back on your childhood and remember coming home at least one day in tears because you were teased.  I think in this age teasing has gone to a whole new level and I think more emphasis by parents need to be put into raising children to be respectful! 

I read they are looking at changing the curriculum to include all sexual orientations.  I assume this is an undertaking that resembles the changing of curriculum  to include other ethnic backgrounds, and removing religion from the school.  All of this confuses me.  I thought we sent our children to school to meet friends, play sports and to learn to read, write and do math.  However, that being said I think children only excel with parents support as there is no way a child can learn everything they need to in a school year.

I truly believe everyone we know is involved in teaching our children.  Neighbours, teachers, friends, grandparents, and most importantly Parents.  What I don't understand is why we are letting people that are in our children's lives for approximately 260 days (that doesn't include time off for spring break, Christmas break, summer or pd days) teach core values.  I want to raise my children to be respectful of everyone, I do not care if you are a straight, gay, white, green, black, purple, christian, Jewish, come from Alabama or Timbuktu.  Share your life with us and we will share our life with you.  My children will find their way and if they have questions I hope they come to me.  I don't want them to hear if you think it is wrong or right, or your feelings about religion, color of skin etc. 

Sorry for the rambling post.  I just don't get it.  Let's focus on education
