No, it's math. I was not decided on whether I should reply to such a cheap shot, Raph. But here I am, responding. I can understand why people would denigrate teaching. The levels of intellectual attainment have been falling like a rock for years. The average college graduate today would score misreably low in a 1955 SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test). The SAT is for High School seniors. I don't know what has happened, but it isn't good. Is it the teachers' fault? In good times, a teacher's role is important. I remember reading a southern antebellum writer writing about how strong the North's commitment to education was. The South had a chivalrous code of honor, but the North was committed to education for all of its sons and daughters. Those old days are gone. Now we must be content with absurd poseurs everywhere you look.Raphael wrote:PMS what do you exactly teach?
You do know what they say ... those who can't...teach.
Hope it is not Political Science.

I know this, Americans are not bloodthirsty.
We don't know what to do, the shit is about to hit the fan, and we just don't know what to do.
