I wish I could do that ~_~'


Well, it's sometimes a little scary. I mean, there are parts of my childhood that I just don't remember at all, and only know about from other people telling me.


Have you ever seen a doctor about it?

eek And I thought mine was weird. I have progressive trance, trance, dance, vocal trance, "gothic rock", "Christian Rock" (just some stuff from Lifehouse) and jazz 3nodding


Yeah.. I really wish I could make a radio station out of mine. Just to see people's heads explode as the song changed from Billy Joel to Disturbed. xd

To some extent. He joked about it and brushed it off. He had tenure, so there wasn't much that could be done about it. Oh, how I loathe the tenure system.

Basically, here's my understanding of it. If anyone understands it better, let me know. After 10 years, if a teacher has done well enough to deserve tenure, they become nearly impossible to fire, so long as they don't do anything super bad, like beating a student up or something outragous like that. Most old, senile teachers are tenured, so even though their teaching style sucks, there's nothing anyone can do about it. It's so dumb.


..... That is so stupid. Can't colleges suffer from the tenure system?

Nah.. I don't think it's terribly abnormal, or terribly severe. And it's not like a short-term thing. This only happens with things that happened years ago.

I'm nearly certain they do. Doesn't mean it'll change, though. The poeple in charge of changing it are quite often the ones benefiting most from it. Think about it; don't you think that by the time someone becomes and administartor, they're at least near or at tenure? They're not going to get rid of a system that pretty much guarentees their job security as long as they still want it.

It's the same problem with driver re-testing. You've seen how people drive after the age of 70 or 80. They could never pass a driver's test. And they shouldn't be on the road. The solution would be to have someone take a driver's test every 10 years or so. But it'll never get passed because nearly all elderly people vote, while a much lower percentage of younger people do. So no candadate for anything would think of supporting such a bill, since they'd be voted against by all the old people who know they couldn't pass the tests.

Yea, I've seen it. I have been in two accidents with a 70+ person. One of them totaled the car I was in.

Very, very true point.

Did the accusation of plagiarism get written on your perm. record? eek

And she did not care that the student had an epileptic seizure?!

O.o Her reason was that she separated you two from spending too much time tougher, not because of talking?

Thanks ^_^

Nah, luckily. It was in eigth grade, and my mom went and talked to the teacher.

No. He stated at the beginning of the semester that he would not take any excuses due to the number of students he had to deal with. sad

Yeah. She said that we were not socializing with other students enough, so we weren't even allowed to play together at recess.(4th grade)

You're welcome. 3nodding

Just wondering, what is the worst teacher you have ever had and why?


Mrs. Curan. Definitely. Bible thumping b***h who was attempting to teach us world religions. And now she's teaching English...and they're doing a novel study on the bible. I hate her...

You'll delve into the world of fanfiction or something, perhaps. Or find another manga. Or reread them a whole bunch. or something...
