WOW, this is a really interesting post.
"The Stupid idiot professor" Uhhhhhhh who would technically be a teacher, with some high level credentials!!!!! who gave out incredibly bad advice, according to you -some one with out teaching credentials but who is also a teacher in some fashion any way, as a day care administrator , or in your own words -a "fancy preschool teacher".
SO, do not listen to the bastards...... - teachers, because they will mess up a person......... like they did you because they
-teachers would not let you be an official bastard with official bastard (teacher) credentials too.
What an interesting situation.
You say " do not listen to the bastards", but what else is a person going to do ? We are completely dependent on them, because even though they say a lot of really stupid things that sometimes takes us years or even decades to figure out how stupid and incorrect those things really were / are , just as you have stated /noted, we are absolutely compelled to listen to these people / bastards/ teachers in the interest of gleaning a few gems of critical knowledge, out of all of the other CRAP they are likely to say, that might allow us to survive.
It might seem like I am disagreeing with you, but I am not.
I am agreeing with you.
Like you, I am extremely disappointed with the entire process of education. And, I have learned the hard way, that I have to depend on ME to really determine what is really valuable advice and what is not. Some times I am not very good at the task, but at least I know that I always had my best interest in mind, in huge contrast to others who told me to do some incredibly stupid things - like paying tithing !!!!
I have had some really crappy teachers a long the way, some real Bastards, people who did nearly insurmountable damage to my attempt to formally complete my education, even though they gave me one Hell of an informal education, stealing every penny of their paycheck along a very difficult way for me, and most of them were MORmONS, Thank you ( FUCK YOU ! ) very much, Ricks (not much of a) College and THE ( MORmON) church. It boggles my mind that MORmONS like Glenn R. "I can't stop talking about masturbation because I am a pervert who is completely obsessed with it, is there any way I can make you feel even more uncomfortable ???? " Stubbs, actually made a living (posing) as a teacher / professor, and they did it teaching the ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS sham subject of MORmON gospel studies. To think that people actually paid good money to listen to that MORmON spew MORmON ideals out of his foul MORmON teaching orifice, is staggering. The fact that it went on, on a long term basis is stultifying. That man was distasteful and repulsive to an extent that is hard to express, and worthless beyond any measure, and yet MORmONISM provided a context where he could be paid for his offensiveness.
MORmON professor Glenn R. Stubb's latest certificate/ certification, that of his death, is unquestionably the best qualification / best certification and definitely the greatest improvement of his entire career in education.
http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/rexburgstandardjournal/obituary.aspx?pid=17414781I have had a few good teachers, that were invaluable.
The entire education process begins to seem like having a pile of angel food cake and straw berries mixed with dog feces that has to be sorted through, and, of course, I am the one who has to be counted on to separate the good stuff from the bad stuff for obvious reasons before consuming it. Teachers are the ones who contributed to this pile of "stuff" and, of course, all the teachers insist that they only contributed angel food cake and strawberries to the educational pile despite there obviously being so much dog feces in there.
My personal situation was greatly aggravated by my MORmON parents who completely abdicated their parental responsibility to actually nurture in favor of deferring to the MORmON ideal/ program of having their children raised (indoctUrinated) in THE (MORmON) Church, which meant that I already had an overwhelming surplus of foul crap in my life as supplied by THE (MORmON) church.
Thanks to all of the (FEW) good teachers that I had. My thanks to you are too little and too limited and too late, but I can not do any better as I might have better enjoyed the angel food cake and strawberries of education that you supplied, except that I never could get the stench of dog crap -supplied by the "bastards", out of my nostrils.
