SR XXX: Erasershred

I've thought that it might be fun to teach accounting at a high school level, but I'm not interested in going back to school to get a degree in teaching.  I could probably teach accounting at night at a local college, if I really wanted to, but I'm not really looking for extra work, and it would be way to difficult to find the time during tax season.

You teachers are the most amazing people.  I could NEVER be a teacher.

I need a new avatar, Christmas is long over.

That's not what I'd call sexy

I can't deal with making someone want to learn. It's why I tutor and teach college. Tutoring, the people want you there. They actually listen and care about what you have to say. In college, at least if they don't want to come to class, they just don't come. Nobody is forcing them to sit in class. I have no desire to make anyone learn anything. I could care less if anyone learned anything. Making people learn something is not my goal as a teacher or tutor.

Also, the subject matter would bore the hell out of me. AP Calc courses are taught for the AP exam, which is idiotic. The only other HS level course would be a Physics course, but they tend to only cover kinematics and Newtonian stuff, which is far from my favorite part of physics.

Rob, how long will it take for you become accredited in NC and what do you need to do?

I endeavor to make my classes both engaging and relevant, such that most students will want to learn.  There will always be people who don't want to be there, but at the schools I applied to this morning, there aren't too many of those.

Eh God bless you. I don't have the patience for it.

My mom's 50th birthday is tomorrow and I have no idea what to get her. Thankfully one of my friends volunteered to help me pick something out. Which is good because I could use some female advice for this.

Get her a CD from The Mars Volta.
