Back to School

Here are some inspiring words about teachers from the discussion boards of Yahoo! News, written at the end of August this year, just in time for "back to school":

Teachers are nothing but greedy pigs that leech off the people who have to work for a living. You know what the job pays before you go to college and study the easiest curriculum next to business administration. Get out and work for a living for a change and see how good you have it.

Under today's "mob" teaching methods, it doesn't matter if there are 5 or 50 in the class. The teacher does no more or no less work per day.

I hope you aren't a teacher. Because with an attitude like yours, you shouldn't be in the teaching profession.

~~by duntov1967 [NOTE: this remark, like all of those quoted here, was not directed at me]

Teachers are paid so excessively much during the school year that they can afford to do nothing for three months in the summer and divide their annual salary out to cover those three months.

A MONKEY CAN TEACH ANOTHER MONKEY HOW TO EAT A BANANA. FIRE THEM ALL AND HIRE SOME ILLEGALS FROM MEXICO OR MUSLIMS FROM SAUDI TO TEACH.

Screen Name Stream of Consciousness

"POST YOUR SCREEN NAME HERE!!!!!", Tartare said. "And I will stare blankly at the screen for a minute and wonder why your name sounds so famiilar, and then try to think of some kind of response or comment - something humorous if possible."


So I did. And this was his response-----

@Angel i got lost! i tripped on a vowel and lost my sense of direction. i blame al Qaeda. i mean, look at all those vowels - you know they're in cahoots. srsly. your name is a little familiar- it kind of sounds like its supposed to be a phone number, which would be pretty cool if it was because the area code is in Anguilla! i've always wanted to go there - their whole economy was based on sin, it was just slaves, tobacco and rum. later they changed from slaves to pirates which i think is a vast improvement. now it's a beautiful Caribbean tax haven. so maybe you run an investment firm there? or an "investment" "firm" wink wink? i've seen Miami Vice, i know how things are. or maybe it's like a religious slogan? or a charitable organization? "You can be this child's one angel -please give generously"* i don't think i would know you from anything religious. i'm supposed to stay away from churches anyway - it's their insurers, lightning damage, you see. so you might have to think about that. we could still go to Anguilla anyway, though - even Jesus drinks rum, just ask him.

*oops i forgot my footnote. there's a good "tragedy of the commons" type paper waiting, or else it's already been written, about the behavior of charities - that your reward for donating to one is to suddenly be overwhelmed with mail from ALL of
them, and the natural reaction to being constantly asked for money by one organization after another is to tell them all to piss off, so you end up throwing them all away and NOBODY gets a donation. unless that's just me? selfish bastard.
