Nah. Bitching about your school and your teachers makes this topic about your hang-ups.

No. That is not why this topic is about your hangups. It is written by a schoolkid, full of the usual kiddy moans about school not being all unicorns and rainbows, all this being poorly hidden behind a thin veil of weak intellectualism. That's what makes this topic about your hangups.

I don't think so, I believe it is Da-something that is a teacher, they have a banana on their flag.

Well I was referring to Dazchan actually. I'm not sure who DaWoad is, but I'll take your word they're a teacher. :p

Interesting, we have quite a few teachers on NS.
we, unlike the bourgeoisie, have nothing to lose and therefore our expression will be the only honest one, our words will be the only challenging ones and our art will be the one revolutionary expression. We need new noise and new voices and new canvases to become something more than the last poets of a useless generation.

C'mon, dude. Iffy has already repeatedly pointed out how silly it is to attack people for doing things that you are quite obviously doing yourself. I'm beginning to think you really don't WANT anyone to take anything you say seriously at this point.

FYI, alot of careers allow employees to return to college or university to sit courses and "better" themselves.

And most employers will subsidize those additional credentials.
Teachers, alas, have to pay their own way (at least in NY).

Wait, did Bendira just complain about teachers who get more education to do their jobs? I thought he said they were lazy stupid people.

I personally only dislike teachers that do not enjoy their job as a teacher and thus fail at giving students a correct education. I also dislike "dictator" teachers because they do not teach the values of a democratic nation and the freedoms that it gives to the people. They make it seem that being a good citizen is a MUST and that if you fail to be a perfect citizen you get punished severly. That seems to be against the idea that the US is a government by the people.

More education in being a teacher? How hard could those courses be? His point there, I believe, was that they have time to go take courses to further their essentially useless careers, but other folks, including the Freedom Fighters of Bendira himself, are trapped in government-run schools whose main purpose is to brain-wash them into accepting the status quo and be good, obedient citizens.
