Agreed.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. No one likes Pontifex, and 95% of his threads are about every little thing that pops up into his head. Pontifex is better off using Xanga or myspace.

If you're in research, you better damn well be moving forward or face it, you're useless and liable to being canned However professors are in high demand so you're correct on security for the most part.

Stress however, is pretty high up there.

True, if by constantly you mean 6 credit hours a semester. And sometimes they can get a private company to fund 3 of those credit hours as research.

but isnt that what the off topic forum discussion is for? I mean if you don't like his threads, then don't read it, its pretty simple dont you think.

I dont even know pontifex but its pretty much common sense that if you dont like the guy, don't read his post. Since they're 95% useless anyways.

(true it can go both ways) but thats just my opinion

to each his own

Most teachers who do a good job don't do a good job because they're trained well. They're good because they like being there and they have good personalities and can connect with the kids.

The vast majority of bad teachers just have bad personalities, it's not about pay or training.

You cannot train a teacher to have a better personality. A bitter person will always be a bitter person.

And if you wanted to go even further, the majority of the kids who do bad in school, only do bad because of poor parenting or because the kids themselves are just lazy and dumb.

I think it's funny how they always say that wealthier school districts have better scores because the teachers and facilities are soooo much better, when in fact, for the most part, it's the kids who are just better (part of it natural intelligence and part good parenting).

By that same reason spam in your email inbox is perfectly OK, what's the big deal you don't read it anyway :roll:

I don't know too much about the exact rules professors has to follow in terms of hours and what not. But here at UCI, they hold at least 3 lectures a week, and 3 days of office hours (usually 2-4 hours a day depending on majors/teachers w/e), and then they have their research. Again you probably know more than I do, but i'm just speaking on experience.

but from what I stated above, thats already a pretty rigorous scheduel.

I would say thats a whole different context, spam usually comes by the dozen. Otherwise I wouldn't care if i just got 1-2 spam emails a day.

By this reasoning Pontifex would have a post so much, that you would have difficulty finding other topics to read.

However last time I checked, there isnt a ton of his posts on the first page.

The thing with teaching is, you have to bring your work home with you. You need to create lesson plans, grade papers/homework, refresh up on materials you're going over the next day, meet with students outside of class hours...ect. I prefer a job where I leave work at work.

Uh because this place is a public forum, not a private email address. You suck at reasoning.

Maybe not all his, but enough to clog up the message boards.

I mean, all your spam emails aren't from the same person are they? No, of course not. They consist of many spammers...so thus, if you get rid of one, you still have a sh!tload. Same thing here.

when did you become the whole atot forum or even the spokesman for the atot community?

do you realize that you're one of the few if not the only person that has said that?
if you don't like me then stop posting about it me. i really don't give a sh!t what douchebags like you have to say. besides, there are far worse threads that get posted than mine. go crap in their threads for awhile. at least most of mine ask a legitimate question that i have.

no one is forcing you to read my posts. this forum offers a great tool for morons like yourself. next to the post, it has a column that tells you who created the post. that way, if its created by someone you don't like, you can skip it.

if you don't like me or think my threads are worthless, why the fvck are you even reading them? i swear, if some of you put half as much effort as you put into flaming and bashing people on this forum into something useful or constructive, i'm sure you would be better people - however unlikely that is anyway.

it just boggles my mind why people put so much effort into bashing people they don't like hen they could be saving so much of your time by ignoring those people.

edit: maybe i didn't word it so well, but my thread was asking for advice. based on what i said, i don't think i would fit.
