If I gave you the exact work that I do, someone with evil intentions could easily track me. I can only state that it is a profession that requires many more years of formal education after a bachelors degree than teaching. Only those ranking in the top 1 or 2% of intelligence are accepted, or could manage the massive academic work load. (Wintertime's straightforward description)This is laughable and speaks only to your arrogance. And this is not a personal attack, but speaks to your inherent bias in these threads.( ContemptofCourt's personal attack) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
More personal attack.
It is not a personal attack, wintertime. You sit here and spout off all your wonderous (yet nebulous) accomplishments, and expect us to just take them at your word. In a nutshell, for you to say with a straight face that your educational institution only accepts "those ranking in the top 1 or 2% of intelligence" because of the "massice academic work load" is just ridiculous. Even more ridiculous is that you can't tell us what your profession is because "someone with evil intentions" could "easily" track you down. If this is true, then you must be the only one in your profession.
Moreover, your entire thread is a rant...bascially, you are calling all public school teachers stupid, indeed, way too stupid to be teaching your oh-so-smart children. Yet others on this thread have pointed out to you that in some states, private school teachers are less regulated and less qualified than public school teachers.
Quite honestly, I could care less if my kids' english teacher could pass Calc III; I'd be more concerned that the english teacher could diagram a sentence, or explain the nuances of a classic novel. To be sure, this thread clearly states the case that just because you can master Calc III, does not mean you can debate an issue.
