View Full Version : Columbus Day: What are you thankful for?
Mr. Kotter

1. Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum (and Diet Coke...)
2. Beautiful Caribbean women, to admire.
3. A day off from work....Monday, to honor Columbus
Yup, that about does it for me.

1. I'm thankful that he didn't make it to the East Indies, or otherwise I'd be living in Borneo now.
2. I'm thankful that he killed all the Indians so that I don't have to worry about attacks.
3. I'm thankful that his name wasn't something like Dorfenburger, so that the capital of Ohio would seem just kind of odd.
4. I'm thankful that he discovered American before America discovered Europe, because it would've set western culture behind to have Indians riding Conestoga wagons across France and Germany, introducing the tomahawk and the buffalo to Europeans.

I'll never understand why this genocidal piece of crap rates a holiday.
Columbus didn't discover America - the Vikings did (this assumes that you don't count the people who already lived here). Of course, much like the Vikings, Columbus wasn't looking for America, nor did he ever realize he'd found it.

Yep. So why do celebrate this Columbus f*ck? I liked the story about how the natives were ready to kill him. But he knew there would soon be a solar eclipse. So he told them he was going to turn off the sun just to show them he could do it. And he would turn it off for good if they didn't let him go. It worked.
"Good ones" as in a top notch nuclear engineering professor or something? There's no second grade teacher worth that kind of scratch.

Well, we'll have to disagree then. Sadly, you are probably right though.
Of course, that type of thinking is precisely why teaching can't attract the number of quality people that would be necessary to truly make our schools better than they are. Idealism and "job satisfaction" only go so far; low pay is why many quality teachers leave the profession for higher paying jobs--retail management at JC Penney's for instance.
Anyone who thinks teachers only work 8 hours a day, 9 months a years....are mistaken. The poor ones may, but most of us put in many more hours than that. And in the summers, professional development and continuing education usually take another 4-6 weeks for most conscientious teachers I know.
And then people have the audacity to COMPLAIN about the quality of the average teacher---especially in inner-city or urban districts. :shake:
Remember, you get what you pay for.

Teachers lay the foundation for everyones future they deserve double that respectively. if parents were willing to dedicate time to working with thier kids on homework and be more willing to pay teachers more it would more then pay them back in the long run.

That's a real good model for society... have the people who you think don't know anything teach everybody else how to do things. I don't think that's true at all though, and sure there are bad teachers, but there are lots of good teachers too. If they have to "babysit" it's because the parents failed, not the teacher...

This is how I like to celebrate Columbus day as well. Do it as Columbus did, f*ckin drunk. Of course I have to work on this day, so it usually makes for some interesting times. However one inparticular time I had a very unpleasant experience. I was minding my own business at work drunk out of my mind, and passed out underneath my desk. I woke up like an hour and a half later with vasoline all over my bum. I never could figure that out, and jesus was I stiff after that nap. I could hardly walk outside to have a cigarette. Never mind the fact that my ass was sore for 2 solid days afterwards. Sleeping on the floor is very uncomfortable.......What were we talking about again?

I'm not blaming teachers for anything. Either the student is going to learn or he isn't. The teacher has little to do with it IMO. Teachers have whined for at least the 40 years I've been aware of it that they are underpaid. Yet there has been no shortage of teachers. Supply and demand at work.

You are right, about some teachers....in some districts.
As a blanket statement and stereotype, you are dead wrong though. Of the 120 member faculty at the school I work at.....roughly, I'd say there are 50-60 high quality, dedicated and hardworking teachers who would excel, and I mean EXCEL in just about any other profession. There are another 40-50 that are very capable but nothing special....and would easily make more money in another job, but remain in teaching because it's comfortable, it's secure, and it's rewarding to them.
Only about 20-25 or so people who migh fit the description/the stereotype you have in your mind. But, their number is growing.

Go right ahead overseas. If that's what floats your boat. I don't think it will make one damned bit of difference to the US. Teaching is one easy gig that pays accordingly. It's been that way for 100 years. Not likely to change soon.

That is true with some kids; but certainly not all.
Many kids benefit tremendously from having a good teacher, versus a baby-sitter. Check the research for yourself, if you don't believe me.
As for a teacher shortage....you are wrong. There IS presently a shortage of teachers in many parts of the country; and it is likely to get much worse....as the baby-boomers are retiring, and fewer kids are going into the profession---and who can blame them?

First, I LOVE going to work most mornings. Not all, but most. I've had other jobs, and talked to others about it....and to me that's worth an awful lot. Generally, I have fun doin' what I do. Not everyone is as fortunate.
Second, it's very rewarding. The relationships you build, the progress you see, the difference you can make....are not likely to be replicated in many other jobs.
Finally, I'm very good at what I do. I know you may not believe that....but I am. I've had numerous opportunities to leave for more lucrative jobs, but the security and comfort of knowing that makes it a difficult decision. I know it's foreign to some folks, but I left a six figure sales job with a pharmaceutical/medical sales company to become a teacher....in part, because I hated that job; but in part, I wanted to do something more rewarding with my life.
On the other hand, four kids, bills, and desire for a quality of life, commensurate with my abilities.....make the pay of alternative careers attractive.

I'd rather have your employer's phone number so I could report you for being on the Planet all f*cking day instead of doing your job. I'll guarantee you that if you were teaching my kids, you, me and the principal would be having meetings.
Some days are "busier" than others.
So you disapprove of me spending time BEFORE school hours.....and AFTER school hours.....and 3 minutes one hour, 5 minutes another, 10 minutes a third hour......and my LUNCH Period, personal planning period.....visiting the Planet??? I've actually become very skilled at multi-tasking. :shrug:
Is that what gets your panties in a bunch? :hmmm:
If it's any consolation, you'll be happy to know I spend....on average 55-60 hours each week AT school, not to mention the time I spend at home. :rolleyes:
Columbus Day is also Canadian Thanksgiving.
Well, I'm not Canadian. Carry on.

Don't try to snow me. You can shit the fans but you can't shit the players. You are on this board continually, not 3 minutes here and 5 minutes there. You are an absolute phony and that is why we haven't gotten along. You try your high school shit on folks who know better. You're too stupid to realize how stupid you are.
Why the heck is there a bar in Springfiled named after the Dodgers' old stadium?

If that is your honest thought, I can't tell you how wrong you are....maybe you haven't mastered the multi-tasking thing, like I have...but having four kids helps you to "juggle" things pretty efficiently.
With selective attention to particular threads, as is my MO....you don't have to spend a lot of time. I check the threads that interest me, but pay little or no attention to the other threads. I'm logged on "all day" but only check periodically.....my e-mail, my messages, and the Planet....about two or three times an hour--during breaks, or down time. If that means I'm here "continually"....I guess, maybe so.
Whatever, Skip. Good night.

Its a huge house that was turned into a bar. Nothing crazy about it. Just good people. They key is that it is on my street. Takes less than a minute to walk there but about 5 to stumble back.

Cool! That put me at about 19 or 20. Those were some fun days.

Unless things have changed at college bars, you had to pretty much go to the bar and get the drinks yourself....if you waited on the cocktail waitresses, you'd friggin' die of thirst. :(

No, they serve...but they dont make the drinks. Thats the big difference. They can take drinks from the bartender but not get them or make mixed drinks.
