LOLYou'd hate having me as your student. WinkEvil Smile


You don't know my history as a teacher, do you?  Big smile

I'll give you a hint.

I wrestled in high school.

The techniques I learned then helped me deal with situations that may or may not have come to pass in the school where I taught.  Big smile





LOLLOL



I took a few bruises, but my students didn't mess with me.

The only one who really tried didn't make it past my podium.  Mr. Nelson got him first.  Lucky him, I say.


Yeah, you could probably make me behave in that case. LOLWink

Epi, I did not read through the entire thread, but I noted a number of your original '8 theses' Wink.
 
My son was a complete slacker in high school, as in doing just enough to get by.  I went to parent night.  His Chemistry teacher was aghast.  "Do you know what your son said to me?"  (I'm thinking, please don't let the answer be "I want to tittie f**k you.")  I sez, "No."  She sez, "He asked me what does it take to get a C in this class."
 
That's my boy.  No aspirations in high school.   But he was no idiot.  He now has a Master's degree in Education from a very well-respected program, and would be teaching except 'round these parts they are laying off teachers, not hiring them.  His student teaching was impeccable, connecting with the kids.  He'd come home (he was doing the student teaching here) and complain about the slackers.  "They just don't care.  I don't get it"  I sez, "It's just payback, dude.  Ya reapin' what you sowed." 
 
I think he'll do well.  He does connect with the unmotivated kids, because he's been there, done that.
 
As an aside, I think for one of his high school history classes he skirted the final exam by making a CD mix of many of my Zappa albums for one of his teachers.  Good enough.  Happy student, happy teacher, and in the long run no harm done!

Instead of pushing our youth to success, we broaden the definition of success.

This makes me think... I've never been suspended in my life. LOL I wonder why.

I taught at a school that only handled young people who had been kicked out of public school.

It was the best job I ever had.  How I do miss it.

Piss off, it's still my turn!  Angry

Do I get partial credit for at least trying?


*shrugs shoulders*

Are partial erections possible?  Ermm

There has to be an in between phase... Stern Smile

I think the fact that my chemistry teacher once tore a phone book in half kept my class in check, besides the trolls. Ermm It also helped that he was a bit of a pyromaniac. LOL

Weird first post on a page. Confused LOL

Was just reading your early post again, with your mulit-point plan.  Great stuff there.  I might use some of it if I get to jaw at some politicians at the Fair this year.Wink


If you manage to make any profit, send me some beer money.  Big smile

And by profit, I mean...you should run for office...Wink

I didn't mean that at all.  I just wasn't paying attention.

Because I'm drinking beer.

And it's late.

And your signature.

Yeah, what a shock.  I don't even want to comment.   I'm taking a break from debate threads for a spell while I work on tunes with our new teamies. 

I don't know how I'm going to make it through this election cycle though, listening to these BS political ads on tv.....oh man.  I'm switching off before a vessel bursts. 


Cheers Jim!

Have a brew.  I am.  The sky won't fall at once.
