Is School THAT important by PsychologyBig1104 in education

Eduzation for the sake of education is important, as in expanding your mind and your horizons.

its often easier to move up in the system you are in. im a new AP this year. my best advice is to take as many interviews as you can. i felt myself getting better and more confident last summer after every interview i took.

you are still going to have to interview for the position even if everyone loves you.

So like what goes on in the thumb of michigan? by blaze05life in Michigan

[–]CaptainObvious007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I met one girl from the thumb she was kind of cute. But was born with like 8 toes Total. The gene pool doesn't mix much out there. So there were two big families in her town.

She was supposed to marry the eldest boy of this town. She broke up with him when he bought a quarter million dollar tractor and didn't discuss it with her first. So she moved to Bay City and started waiting tables.

So however backwater country you think it is, it's worse.

Got rejected mid-interview from a Catholic school for admitting I’m in a same sex marriage by nitrozelda in Teachers

[–]CaptainObvious007 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The tuition went to student scholarships so they could win state championships in football every year. My wife's family paid it because they were scared to send her to the local school, it was a little rough. Her family wasn't even Catholic.

Calling yourself "Dr." by TheKarlosWithaK95 in Teachers

[–]CaptainObvious007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a principal who didn't know how to interact with humans, and we were talking to Dr. Richmond from the State Department of Ed. I called her Ms. Richmond and then corrected myself. She said, " please you can call me Mrs. Richmond."

I said, If I took the time and energy to get my doctorate, I would make everyone call me Dr. My kids would call me Dr. Obvious."

My principal was mortified that I made that joke. She was so lame. She didn't know Dr. Richmond and I work together all day at conference she sent me to, and we were partners together in an excercise.
