I'm a mother of four. I LOVE these kind of teachers. This kind of teacher confronted me in high school and changed my life. Teachers change lives and I'd be honored if one of my kids had this calling. Who cares what a person makes? You're no better driving a Mercedes.

I see text on a screen, but it doesn't say anything.

Somebody spends a littl TOO much time self-loving to YouTube.
Get an education that isn't 100% internet based. You might discover a life outside your PC.

That's weird. It's like your comments are incapable of connecting information in a relevant and intelligible way.

Maybe I'm not being clear either.

What I was saying was that your initial statement was entirely self-annihilating. It was an overgeneralizing nonsensical statement that a group of people in its entirety only exhibits one of two polar opposite traits without any compelling reason why that would be true or what a better alternative would be. And then you try to coin your own witty aphorism that is neither witty nor a workable aphorism thanks to its profound shallowness of thought.

How's that for a sick educated burn, asshole?

I find that your argument is extemporaneous and your attempt at querying my intellectual acumen lacks any real substance.
Had you considered the platform and the common theme of a majority of the comments, you might have filtered your evaluation of my comments with a modicum of understanding towards the general style of other responses here.
Instead you act in a manner that I can only assume is indicative of your utter lack of emotional or social maturity burn, asshole.

Now, to distill my comments to a level that should leave no misunderstanding;
I hold a sincerely contemptuous view of this teachers diatribe in that all he manages to do, in my opinion, is reduce himself to a self-important Bill OReilly in the genre of education. His ranting and raging only reinforces the view of some that teachers, when not ineffective, are cultish in their styles.

But this on the other hand is fine, you've finally made a point. Which makes me feel successful at my efforts on here.

And I am a teacher, by the way. Which means you've just graduated from my writing class.

I'm not sure that this is really what you wanted when you're being criticized for saying things that don't really mean anything.

Because for are your attempts at powerful thesaurus-wielding here, you still haven't actually said anything except that I am dumb, which no matter how you dress it up is a weak argument.

Conversation is ended. Your immaturity is only exceeded by your ungracious derisions and self aggrandizing hyperbole.
I pity the youth you might influence. I dread the mediocrity they will acquire under your underwhelming tutelage.
And, no, no thesaurus, dictionary or other tome of literary guidance involved in my response. Not all you encounter here are simple minded.
