I'm being "nit picky" because you threw RoG, AL, BS, SWP, and I all into some huge blender of "older" gentleman??? Generally when discussing older people we all get lumped together......I'm just saying.

Let me put it this way... If you don't like what I said, then I was inadvertently talking about you. Otherwise, why care?

Hey, how about this. I'm an education major, and I've taken education courses. I think I know a thing or two about what I'm talking about, especially tenure. It's a flawed, failed system. Teachers are given tenure once they reach a certain amount of experience, there is no other reason or evaluation given. Of course I don't expect most people to be educated about or understand the education system, seeing as it's extremely convoluted, complex, and misrepresented by the news and politicians. So go back to your job, and I'll go back to mine, which is studying to be a teacher! All of you "older" gentleman think you know everything and all of your systems work, well they don't.
I'm sorry the system isn't working for you right now, and yes, there are a lot of bad apples to be dealt with, those are everywhere. I'm just tired of the current theme that teachers, and firefighters, and government employee pensions are to blame for all of our economic woes. It's bullshit, it's a drop in the bucket, and it's just another attempt to divide and conquer. And no, I'm not blaming you. You have every right to your feelings. I just think there's a lot of bullshit going around from people who ought to know better and don't usually know what they're talking about (not talking about you).

That's great that you're studying to be a teacher. You should be proud to be a part of the educational system, especially in this environment. When I dropped out of law enforcement the first place I wanted to go was teaching, but my wife talked me out of it and I changed my major.

I just think there's a lot of bullshit going around from people who ought to know better and don't usually know what they're talking about (not talking about you). Tenure needs to be replaced with a system that address the issues that it created. No one should be above reproach. There needs to be system that better regulates the accomplishes and lack of accomplishments in the profession. Teaching has long been disregarded and still isn't taken that seriously. There is definitely bullshit, I don't blame you. I'm sorry, I'm high strung and I'm tired of always being lectured when I'm heavily involved in my education and research. Quote:
i don't necessarily disagree with what you said, but being an educated person I assume you'd stay away from across the board generalizations. And away from arguments in the alternative world where only the young are beholden to sacred wisdom and knowledge, and the over 30 "elderly" are misguided tools that are hell bent on holding on to dear life for their corrupt and antiquated social, and institutional systems.
But back to toy discussion before a mod comes in... For the record, I don't think everything is failing and flawed.. just certain major things. but yeah toys.. Why do I get so off topic at times when I only just want to talk about toys, lol.

Highlander: the Raven?
I liked Amanda as character in the main the series, as basically the other half of the Batman-Catwoman dynamic. I think the problem with Highlander: the Raven was they had Amanda acting more or less like Duncan, which didn't quite fit. If I recall correctly, the last episode ended with a cliffhanger where the dude truns out to be an Immortal? This, in turn, was a complete re-hash of what happened to Ritchie in the main series. Also, I never got the Raven reference No kidding. I suspect I'll never make it full-time, nobody around here will friggen retire.

Also, there are numerous states that are adding rigor to the K-12 tenure process.

You're right Pig, and I agree. AND I apologize. When I'm upset, frustrated, and want to make a quick post I often generalize. It's a short coming, my brain starts to fizzle out. And no, I didn't mean to insinuate that only the young are beholden, because I do believe a large portion of my generation are idiots. I apologize again, I was upset, and I do get sick of people with more years on me "preaching". I admit, I forget at times that just because you guys are my elders you are not the same type of elders I'm used to. This whole.. message board thing with people who share my interests is a learning process for me. I'm also not the best communicator at times.. For the record, I don't think everything is failing and flawed.. just certain major things. but yeah toys.. Why do I get so off topic at times when I only just want to talk about toys, lol. Cool, and I'm not necessarily 'right'. You can always Pm me and we can discuss at varying lengths the flaws and successes of our western society...i enjoy it.
