    Darn, then I'm overqualified.


    Edit Though the main reason might be that I'm poor in looking for job, but as there is always a lack for teachers... logic.

    Re: The scariest thoughts

    You know when, like you're all alone and in real deep thought, then you turn around and see someone standing there and you get surprised and go all spastic for a few moments?

    That happened to some guy, and he got stuck! Anything he sees that wasn't in his field of vision a few moments ago keeps him spastic!!!

    I'm afraid of that happening to me.

    Be sure it's sex-ed. And don't forget those classics you are actually allowed to show in the classroom, such as Debbie Does Dallas.

    Re: The scariest thoughts

    Sometimes, I realize that I'm just one step away from doing something unexpected. For example, there's a fan in front of me, all I have to do is stick my fingers in the blades and it'll be chopped off. That's all... all I have to do is reach out.

    Or I'll be at the subway, and see the high-voltage railway lines. One step off the platform, and I'm there. It's that simple.

    I could just turn around and punch someone in the nose. Or stab them in the neck with a pen, because they're looking the other way, their neck is facing me, and I have a pen in my hand. One quick swipe is all it takes.

    You're in a crowded subway. There's nothing stopping you from peeing right in your pants.

    I don't understand how any school system in America retain their teachers.

    From my experience, teachers in America have
    1) Horrible pay.
    I know one teacher who moonlighted as a ticket ripper at a Theater.
    2) Usually work many hours overtime, probably without pay.
    3) Have to deal with bratty apathetic kids, made worse by caffine, sugar and taking rap/emo/metal music too seriously.

    Most of the teachers I had were good and dedicated. But the few bad and incompetent teachers I had were never removed because they have tenure and there is no review system.

    Yeah, me too, but when I tried to act on that thought, I couldn't find even ONE person who had nothing but a fork and an old pair of pants. Found someone with a spoon, but it just wasn't the same.

    Try doing it with a straw, paper clip, and a rubber band... Very lethal combination.

    I love it how in English "hair" means all kinds of hair, not just the hair on your head.
