I beg to differ.



So, is the generic "teachers" you put in there only for the teachers you had? If so, why are you commenting on a topic that's much broader than just the teachers you had? "Teachers" in this quote obviously refers to ALL teachers that are unionized, which, unless I'm wrong here, is basically all the teachers in the U.S.

Precisely. Either way it doesn't reflect well on our backpedaling friend here. Either he is spouting BS or else he sucks at communicating what he means. Or maybe a little of both.

I think it goes beyond being gaming nerds. GoJazz spewed forth some ignorant BS, too. You guys could start a club called "Let's talk out our asses" and then cry and whine when we get our balls busted on it. jazzgal12 could be your president. Make it happen!

So much for that.

Yes. When you started floundering around with the insults, I thought I would respond by giving you the opportunity to be reasonable, and post in a calm way, and see if we could talk to each other with civility. You did not rise to the occasion.

I haven't backpedaled on a single, solitary thing. Do you not understand what "most," "often," and "many" mean? Are you incapable of taking context into account? Will you account for the parts of my post which Darkwing did not quote that address your criticisms, or will you continue to ignore them because they don't fit into this narrative that allows you to attack me?

For the record, I'm not sure you've actually refuted the substance of GoJazz's posts anymore than you have mine. I'm not familiar with jazzgal12, but if she/he has run afoul of you, I can only assume at this point that she's good people.

That is called an ad hominem attack sir. It's also usually the result of someone who cannot defend there position. I never attacked you personally so I find your responce highly offensive. You really shouldn't be teaching children based on the example you have provided us in this thread.

I met Conan in real life. He's a nice guy, probably a great teacher. To say he shouldn't teach because of petty stuff online is sad, guy. For reals though. Sad. Don't get your panties in a wad, bro. That's why I'm here. I have have lots of panties that need to be wadding.

The bottom line here is you huffed and puffed and made a big grandstanding post about leaving all the while claiming the high ground only to turn around and come right back in and continue blathering. Couple that with the other vomit you post and we start to see a pattern about your posting (at least in the context of this thread). It's BS. I've tried to talk sense into you (not gently for sure) and so have other posters but you refuse to see any reason. Whether this is by stupidity or stubborness or whatever I don't know and I don't care.

Remember that ignorance is bliss so be happy.

you would've been on the high ground without the last sentence and a half.

hey, I thought this thread was great, and I want to thank Thriller for starting it. And I loved the contribution of Darkwing with the British guy doing the overview of education. I pulled my kids outta their homeschool homework to watch it, and my wife loved it so much she sent it out to everybody she knows.

I'm a sucker for the back-and-forth. I was going to leave, but you baited me, and I took the bait. I will take the bait 90% of the time. It's a major weakness.

You haven't tried to talk any sense to me, and the other poster you describe, Darkwing, tried to frame the conversation with a variety of lies. Every single one of your posts, after a certain point, has been an insult. None of them have had an ounce of substance.

I have asked you direct questions in a calm way. You don't respond. Your basic position seems to be, "I'm a teacher, you chucklehead, you dog! You're wrong because you're ignorant!" Apparently it is way too much to ask of you to talk normally and state your case.

Also, you do realize that GoJazz and I are not the same person? You don't get to respond to one of us with "you guys this" and "you guys that."

But look, I know my initial post in this thread was caustic. I knew I would take heat for it. That was intentional to some extent. We can continue this back and forth infinitely where I ask you which part of my position you disagree with, and you respond with some new name to call me.

But let's not. I'm not that curious anymore.
