The fact that you teach is supposed to be a surprise? HyogaRott Send a noteboard - 31/03/2011 01:23:45 PM
As for your Ad Hom about my spelling, get over it. I don't spell well, sometimes I take more care about it, sometimes I don't. If this was something meaningful as opposed to a web forum, I would care a bit more.

I have great respect for most teachers. Particularly those who teach the "hard science" disciplines. I almost chose teaching (math) as a career. My father chose between Television and teaching history. My god-father was a highschool teacher, my "uncle" (nto blood but the next best thing) was a middle school principle after spending many years in teh classroom.

That being said, your "I know what is right", "I know whoat is good" arrogent, elitist, nonsense within a relm that is 150% subjective tells me that I am particularly glad that neither I, nor noone I know will ever be sugjected to your instruction.

Get over yourself. Go accomplish something meaningful in your own right, and quit trying to make yourself feel better about your life by tearing down the work of others.
