That was the old me. The new me spent over $500 there this Xmas.You're mean to Best Buy employeesFor the record I have zero posts in any 'dumb' threads at e. I hate mean.
This is like saying you've never been invited to McDonald's.The :e: board? Yeah I've never gotten an invite. Biggest letdown of my life.Recap:Link?It all started with KCitonsWas this thread born out of the gay football player thread? Or just general segregation along Gett off my lawn/Everything is fabulous lines?![]()
- All of us dumb guys that didn't know about the other forum where shown the light.
- The best of the best here didn't like that they were called out for being "mean girls" (it's ok to call people names, just do it on a different site)
- Once panties got too bunched, mods decided to remove thread.
Result:
- Dumb people are still dumb, mean people are still mean. (only now, the lines between the two are blurred)
- MOP started this thread.
So, same as it ever was.
Big Tom Servo PM'd the answer I've been looking for.Everyone is from Africa. HTH.I still don't know DD's ethnicity. If this place can't even answer a simple question like that, then I'm taking my ball and going home.

A good question with a very long answer, again all in good time. Let's say I want to develop a 3rd Party in this country, something much different than the Tea Party and certainly not the same as the DNC/GOP in charge right now. Wealth redistribution would be a simple summary but again we will discuss that more later. I could back off and just get a master's but really there is no point in that. Long term I want to teach at the college level so I am going to have to be published or they won't want me, at least how I understand it.A PhD in what?
Teaching. I wish I had made that choice years ago- while it still made sense. Good on you.Somebody tell Tanner to sit down because I got some BIG NEWS that is gonna flip some folks out.

I don't think folks know how much the BB thread from last year impacted me and I didn't want to take away from that with my own personal issues. I've been doing consulting work for a while in sales but it is unfulfilling. My wife and I have what we need, a house, each have a car, food in our bellies, IRA/403B accounts, a Blu Ray copy of The Professional, so what else do we need? So instead of grabbing the next fistful of money and also to help me understand my son better I am gonna attempt to teach. I already have met a few of the teachers who asked the principal to meet with me. I do not have any teaching credentials but apparently a 4 year degree can get you started.
It will give me a lot of flexibility in the summer to travel, something I want to do. It will allow me to finish my day and be home at a reasonable time so I can pursue a PhD as funny as that will sound to some of you. I know, but life moves pretty fast and you are here for a flick so I figure after I turn 40 and start the back 9 I might as well give back what I can. I also have had 1 mentor diagnosed with what I believe to be terminal lung cancer and that is weighing on me, then another which I will go into great detail at a much later date, but she was someone who was spiritual influence on me as a kid and I thought much like Obi-won she must be dead by now…she is turning 80 this Friday but has the mind of an 35 year old. So a lot of cool stuff happening and I think there is a good chance I will not get the job, but I will be 1st rotation for the Fall 2014. The current teacher I would be replacing had a nervous breakdown and put her 2 week notice in. They might go with a substitute for a while anyways.
I should've started this thread years ago.

I see myself as professor at a University at some point in my life, that would make me very happy. Something I can do as long as I desire and allows me the freedom to speak my craziness in front of a captive audience.

The teacher that had the breakdown had no classroom management skills according to everyone I have met. They said I am to go in there and SET THE TONE…truth be told I'm not gonna do that. This woman had no class rules hanging anywhere and that spooked the principal apparently and they want someone to get things on track, state testing($$$) is coming up.With your obvious short fuse is middle-school teaching an even remotely good idea? I mean just consider the kids for a second.Somebody tell Tanner to sit down because I got some BIG NEWS that is gonna flip some folks out.

I prefer a list of "expectations" over a hard set of rules. I think I actually will be well received, I keep up with a lot of what the students are into and I can use some of that to connect with them. I know I can't appear weak but with my big presence I don't think that's gonna be an issue. Besides what are they going to say to me that I haven't already seen myself? I watched a stripper quit on stage at Tootsie's last week, I've seen it all.

It sounds like their main focus is the upcoming state tests…FCAT I believe as they are referred.

Johnny has 100 friends on Facebook. Johnny has a girlfriend named Becky. Johnny gets caught kissing Becky's friend Michelle. Some of Johnny's friends decide that don't want to be friends with him anymore and 36 people unfriend Johnny on Facebook. A train is heard leaving the Miami terminal for Washington D.C. traveling at a rate of 88 MPH…how many friends does Johnny have left on Facebook?

I took pre-algebra in 7th grade, algebra in 8th, and geometry in 9th. That was some years ago, I don't know your school system, but I am guessing this still holds true for many.8th grade, we're not even into Algebra yet, maybe pre-AlgebraYou're going to teach math?

I plan on having everyone watch Mel Gibson's The Passion and let them know that's what happens when you don't finish school and become a hippie loving tree hugger, should drive the message home. Then have an antique turn of the Anno Domino whip with animal bone fragments attached and hang that in front of the podium while I lecture and teach. I don't think I'll encounter any behavior issues in the classroomMOP --
In lieu of posted rules, I think you should just have that Simpson's "That's a paddlin'" video on a loop.
expeditionOf course they are gonna try. We have a couple we're friends with, both teachers which is what got me exploring this. They said they set off to save the world but quickly learned that's major pipe dream. They tell me each has a couple students that just sit there and do nothing. Just put their heads down and check out.at MOP thinking that middle schoolers won't give him any disciplinary issues.
