I don't see much shame in being the last cut from a difficult program. I could have been like you and shied away from doing anything really difficult and challenging myself. Meanwhile, what do you do? You study something difficult but transfer out when it got too tough to an arts degree. Then you move to the US to tutor indoctrinated children at some private Christian school in Texas? What the **** kind of challenge is that? |

I do difficult things and challenge myself every ****ing day, Ben. I've got a technical team of over 35 people reporting to me (including those with MSc and PhDs) and I'm 28 years old. Do you think I get to do that by not doing anything difficult or challenging? I'm successful because that's exactly what I do -- seek out challenges and distinguish myself. When was the last time you tried anything outside of your rather narrow and restricted field? You've expressed contempt - many times, for disciplines that you've never studied while shouting down those who have studied both. Personally, I think your philosophy of education is rather sad. You went to school, got a piece of paper with your name on it, but you might well have never attended for all the good it did you.
Meanwhile, what do you do? You study something difficult but transfer out when it got too tough to an arts degree. Then you move to the US to tutor indoctrinated children at some private Christian school in Texas? What the **** kind of challenge is that? I teach a class of 15 middle school students in history. For a deaf person? Pretty difficult, actually. I'm not aware of anyone else who is a deaf teacher teaching hearing students successfully. |

I'm a centrist, not a liberal. So your understanding of politics and ideology is so poor that you believe you are a centrist. Yet, you berate evil republicans and call them simpletons. Stock liberal democrat you are. Nothing special or different, in reality.
I did vote for the Conservatives last time around (though I probably won't do that next time). And yet you castigate Republicans. I see. People change. Maybe some time in the past you could have plausibly claimed to be a conservative, but that's been quite sime time ago. Now you're firmly in the liberal camp. |

Yawn. As I said, you are not challenging yourself. You know, I wonder how your coworkers would feel about your statement that they are not very intelligent people. Other than hold meetings with stupid people and throw around buzz words like statistical analysis and psychology, you don't really do anything anymore, do you Asher? Nah, I am just the technical lead for software that 6 million classrooms use virtually every day for learning. Nothing like what you do, certainly. The fact that you don't even understand, is telling. Are you really claiming to be the smartest guy in the room Asher? Because you don't seem very bright to me. I never claimed to be the smartest guy in the room -- there are a couple guys at work who are absolutely brilliant and definitely smarter than I am (note that none of them have BAs...) And of course I don't seem bright to you. Nothing I say makes sense to you because your brain can't structure what normal people can. |

You seem to believe that I have a high opinion of people and human nature. You think shortsightedness is rare? There's ****loads of studies that many governments have done on its effectiveness (and it's so effective many governments like the UK have actually LEGISLATED its use), in addition to anecdotal use. Our biggest challenge are the idiot teachers (like yourself) who do not understand the power of the software and treat it like ****ing powerpoint. But that's to be expected -- too many teachers are like you. |
