I could have won a nobel prize compared to these numb nutts that they call "the future". How do you keep from just "throwing in the towel"? Oh yeah it's the pay that lets you perpetuate a neo yupiie suburban lifestyle and the adulation you recieve from everyone in your family and your peers, "oh you're a teacher oh how wonderful"! Please gag me with a protein bar, I hate the teaching profession that maintains the status quo more than the new herds of ignorant offsprinmg of a mindless "brave new world"......Get another job but don't come here bitching and whining about the students that you "pass" every year and know that they are dumber than fucks..........fuck you "teacher". Bite on this apple................... As a person who got flunked from high school in the eighties it disgusts me to even know what they are passing these days.

Otherwise, she'll probably pull the stunt again. Either way? They both sound like real winners. Woot for the future!!!

They used to write 'compare and contrast' pieces on aerobic vs anaerobic exercise, or the differences between Rugby League and Rugby Union, or between carb loading and low-carb diets. We had a sports management major and also a rugby union funded institute on the campus and the academic english course I was teaching was compulsory in both. Happy days.
