[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teaching is a nice gig. There is very little administrative supervision and to children in their classrooms they appear all powerful. They can praise and criticize at will. They can work hard and on other days just phone it in. Many become accustomed to teacher adoration. Those who succumb to the idea they should be adored should never have become teachers or anything else for that matter.

Teachers are not anymore altruistic than the rest of the population. Some are great and many are not. The notion that poor instruction should not be challenged is ridiculous. [/quote]

What are you smoking, or are you shooting it up?[/quote]

Yes, some are great and many are not. Where do you teach?[/quote]

I don't teach. Never have, never will. The only teachers in my extended family have been full professors, which I think we can agree is totally different. I've been a guest teacher a few times at the university level myself (I'm in research, have been a guest teacher at Princeton and GMU) and even that was exhausting.

But here's the rub: you don't teach either. Pretty sure you lack both the altruism and stamina that are necessary to teach.[/quote]

Congratulations on your research, however if your teachers had been better you might have learned somewhere along the way that if one ever hopes to win a Nobel Prize for their research they should use more definitive terms than saying they are "pretty sure". While we're at it today, can you share any other tidbits of wisdom in which you are pretty sure about today.

Good gracious.  Different poster.  Have to award game, set and match to the researcher.  @17:25 achieved the trifecta of nasty, immature, and illogical.  [/quote] :-) and who appointed you line judge. Get in the dialog or get out of the thread. Lazy people who stand on the sidelines handing out atta boys and demerits don't qualify for participation. [/quote]

Um, okay.  Now everyone thinks your argument is the best one.  LOL.   [/quote]

No ... not at all, they are simply aware you are adding no content to the dialog beyond being a self-appointed score keeper. You are a score keeper not a commentator. You add no value to the dialog beyond being a cheerleader. If you have nothing to add to the dialog why bother making believe you are participating?  Stop phoning it in!  If you are not going to participate - stay home![/quote]

I found the line judge amusing. And correct in her calls![/quote]
