(Ele)Civil Disobedience

You sir, are a fucking rat bastard and I've lost all respect for you.I mean you KNOWINGLY have a textually transmitted disease (TTD) and yet you type here, and risk infecting all of us.Thankfully raccoons can't get people diseases. I am quite put out with you for being so inconsiderate. TTDs are preventable and here you are with BLATANTLY CALLOUS DISREGARD for everyone's health.PS: I sincerely do hope you're feeling better :)

I'll leave it to The Wibcat to worry about TTDs. He's an expert in that sort of thing, and discussing all the permutations thereof. I, on the other hand, have a legitimate question.You said a while ago that you were practice teaching, and loving it. When I took teacher training many years ago--training that came to nought--we had practice teaching in the last year. Yet you said you still have another year to go, so you did classroom training in either your sophomore or junior years? Is that right? That seems early to me.But could you fill me it a little? Are you still becoming a teacher? I think you'd be magnificent at that.C

I agree. Magnificent, punkesque, AND with odd socks. What could be better in a teacher?

Time for a telescreen confession, then. "I deliberately contracted syphilis with the intention of spreading it to other Party members..."

Yep, I'm still working toward a teaching degree. Middle school science and language arts.My school is set up differently than most when it comes to their education program (which is why I chose it - schools in this area tend to move applicants from my college to the top of the stack). We do field assignments every year. Two days as freshmen, two weeks as sophomores, a month as juniors, and a full semester as seniors. That way, we get to do a bunch of different grade levels (4-9), different subjects, and different school districts (urban, rural, suburban), with increasing numbers of lessons and responsibilities each time. We get to work with a lot of different teachers in a lot of different settings, with the hope that we'll be able to fit in wherever they throw us.I'll be finished with all of my theory/classroom courses at the end of this Fall, so I'll be able to do my full semester of field work/research in the spring.

I was thinking about you only a few days ago, wondering if you were okay as I hadn't seen sight nor sign of you on the net.Now it seems you have been earnestly studying the transmission of various social diseases.Truly you will be a great teacher.I wish I was young enough to be in one of your classes.Do you like orangutans?

Des, stop hitting on the younger guys! It's unseemly.And makes us older guys jealous.C

If Ele wanted an older guy I doubt there's one among us who wouldn't throw ourselves at the Altar of Ele in a heartbeat.
