i literally picked ambulate because it was the first word that i could remember from those textbooks that's all it is i completely understand the point you're trying to make and perhaps i did pick a really poor word as an example, but i don't have a personal vendetta against all words not used by Dr. Seuss and ironically enough, i'm a professional writing major. make the joke like i expect you to.

ProperCoochie posted:teachers: soemtimes work is really hard!!!! I deal with a lot of troublemakers and dramatics, i'm underpaid, and i have to do work outside of work too!!!! You: gently caress teachers you don't work hard. Teachers: We do, we have to do X, Y, and Z and it's time consuming like many other people's jobs. You: Everyone else has to work hard but you complain about it. You're baiting people and then bitching when they bite.

My wife was a middle school teacher for a time and had some great stories about her students and terrible ones about the administrators. My pops is a music teacher and makes very little money but loves what he does. He somehow justifies buying $4k PAs and $10k mixing boards. Thanks dad for never teaching in a public or private school and keeping our family living hand to mouth my entire life!

I'm glad I made this thread. Interesting reading, for sure. genesplicer, thanks for the informative post. [/]buttkiss I had a geometry teacher, call him Mr. Ned, who was cool as heck. He was a square built guy of eastern european descent and knew every dirty joke that us 7th graders hadn't heard yet. He also had a strange knack for inverting classrooms. My typical classroom consisted of students who gravitated to the front/middle/back of the room. The fronters were eager learners with an eye to that solid A in every class, the middlers were probably going to a junior college, and the backers were FFA and screw offs. Mr. Ned's class was different. The backers took the front, the fronters squeezed back a few rows with no real protest (discretion being the better part of valor), and the middlers stepped to the back of the bus. I was front and center. My desk literaly butted up to his desk. He stepped on the punchline of every nasty joke I whispered at him and one upped me with a better joke every time. Anyway, he was a brilliant teacher. He'd do circles of the class, walking past every single student at least three or four times per class. He'd expound on whatever the lesson was for the day in a clear and distinct voice. At the end of each circuit, he'd put relevant diagrams on the blackboard and answer any questions, even smartass questions. One of the middlers who was a temporary backer tried to get some comedy cred with the old 'prove a triangle by Angle Side Side' gag and Mr. Ned shot him down in a hurry. "No, dummy. You can only prove acute triangles that way and if you can't prove EVERY triangle with your AY ESS ESS, your AY ESS ESS is worthless!' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mr. Sweeft. I'm pretty sure Mr. Sweeft is dead from alcohol poisoning by now. Let this be his epitaph: He took the spanish club student's american dollars in Tiajuana to go to the bank to exchange them for pesos. The police found him three days later, drunk and broke in a red light district in Mexico City. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mrs. S G. A lovely matronly lady. She sparked my interest in earth science and made me want to study geology and paleontology.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mr. Frank. Chem teacher and chess coach. I and my friend (who was first board for a rival school chess team) would spend the odd saturday smoking weed and studying endgames with Mr. Frank. I beat Mr. Frank in a rated tourney game the next summer and I think he was actually pleased with that result. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mrs Idon'trememberyourname. My second grade teacher who taught me that I was as blind as a loving bat and that I really and for most seriously needed an eye exam and a pair of cokebottle glasses. Thanks. I couldn't read or write without your help.

You should do an Ask/Tell thing, I would be really interested in that (unless you have already). What class is it you teach again and what age group? Happy Teacher Day!

Let us English posted:Teaching in America is way better than teaching in most countries. For all the poo poo that people talk about the American education systems is pretty good and isn't being actively dismantled like it is in the UK. My facebook had a ton of posts from friends teaching in the UK about that new law they're putting in that requires foreign workers to make x amount of money or else they have to leave (I don't remember the details) and it's like $2500 above what teachers there make. I know several Canadians teaching in England and many more who taught there and left because their system and students are hosed
