The syllabus is typically defined politically, which is anything but homegeneous.

Please look up the definition of homogeneous - being defined politically has nothing to do with it. All calc 1 classes are the same, and some politician demanding that pi=3 doesn't change this.

Fortunately, math hasn't been caught up in the same horse manure that science, history and language instruction have been, all of which have ongoing political surroundings.

Additionally, the modern teacher has to deal with and put up with rather a lot of things that aren't directly related to their subject areas, but are politically determined.

FYI, denotatively, homogenous and homegeneous have different meanings. Connotatively, they are somewhat interchangeable. I suggest you look up the meaning of "thesaurus" and "pedantic". Or skip that and ask yourself, did you understand what I meant?

I didn't notice you used a different word (and one that isn't in the dictionary, no less). At this point I concede that I have no idea what you meant.

I do agree with you that people who dislike politics should not work for the government (which is, by it's very nature, political).
