Also an option. At least it was when I was in school.

I need resources? Okay, got it. Wait, what's my budget again? Oh that's right, jack ***.

Hey, I'd love to spend my time teaching the students who want to learn and have the rest take nothing but math and science, but unless I get out of this country, that's never going to happen. Or maybe charter schools or something.

Dude I could have hung on through all the resources in the universe and STILL never learned anything....

Trying to do the impossible with less than infinity is futile.

After the whippings I took as a first year teacher, I still want the best for those kids; even the biggest issue students I have.

I've reached several. I have one kid who sees me at lunch every day and talks to me about the Divine Comedy. I have another who told me that she's started reading Shakespearean plays in her free time. I have another who told me his favorite book was Hamlet. Still another comes to see me when she has issues at home and needs someone to talk to. I had one girl who told me that she trusted me more than her own parents.

I've reached some of them, and they'll be the ones I'll remember and miss from this year.

To be fair, this is not unique to teaching.

Be ashamed of yourself.

i find it funny:

Tell someone the game is ending soon, and they call you names and a liar

The devs say they are stopping content, but the game carries on

same people who start panicking that the game will end soon

I can understand the frustration, trust me.

But do you really, truly want to teach? Because even if you go to charter schools, or the best school in the world with the smartest students ever, you are still going to have some of the same kinds of problems.

And there probably won't be a place in the world that will give you a sufficient budget for everything you might consider necessary.

So what is it that you really want?

14 really sucks imo chaosx, though I know plenty of people on here that like it, so it must be a something you just need to try for yourself.

From what I can tell people on here like it cause of the 'pretty' things, whereas people on FFXI don't like cause of the people that play and the game's system itself. I still might try it one day just to see.

In a word, yes. In multiple words, I understand there are trials and tribulations. I've basically gone through a hazing this past year. It was tough. I felt like I was in the trenches for the better part of a year, and my only allies were my battle buddies, or fellow teachers who gave me a word of encouragement now and again. I was looking for any venue to release some tension and vent my frustration, although most of the time I was hit with a wave of backlash including accusations, being deemed a hypocrite and only more criticism. I've dealt with something that is arguably the worst of the worst (seriously, when I went to tell my new principal of what they gave me for my first year of teaching, her jaw quite literally dropped) and I've come out of it in one piece, still willing to try again next year.

It will get easier. I'm not experienced, yet. I'm far from it. Right now it seems like the deck is stacked heavily against me, but all I can do is soldier onward, something I've chosen to continually do. So yes, I really want to teach again. And next year will be better. The following year will be better than that and so on. One day I'll be the teacher I'm aspiring to be. For now, I'm just grinding out the XP.

it is a beautiful virtual thing, I don't think anyone would argue it isn't. My main beef is 'instanced' everything.

who gives a *** what a crotchity old man thinks though? if the kids like it & they're making money, it's a win.

alright negative nancy, my firsts responses to any concern you've ever brought up here has been my honest attempt at genuine advice / consultation.

now, is my point of view the best or greatest, no, but it was never demeaning / insulting.

I bite my thumb at you, sir.
