im here for a little bit if anyone has anything for me

Most important invention in human history?

Would you rather be married to the "right" woman and poor, or rich and married to someone awful?

Married to someone that you would classify as "settling" or single?

Rich doing something you dislike, or poor doing something you love?

If a genie popped out of a bottle and said that you had 1 week to decide what you wanted to do with the rest of your life, and you would be successful at it, what would you pick?

The thermos bottle. It keeps my coffee hot, and my ice tea cold without electricity. How does it know?????

if that's not a good answer ... i guess electricity. I cannot fathom how people survived without it

definitely choice a. I would never marry for money

this is a little tougher i guess. I would like to say i would never settle, and i believe that. But im 36 years old and would like to have a family. So to be 100% honest, i dont know

I quit Target and went to AJ wright for 20,000 dollars less because i wasnt happy with my job. and now i want to be a teacher ... you dont think i want to be a teacher for the money do you?

hmm
I really want to be a successful teacher, and dont think i need a genie to accomplish it, but if she offered i might take her up on it to get into a higher paying district

umm....

Will you teach the kids the proper maths? everyone teaches about grams and kilograms but you gotta deal in quarter ounces and eighths of ounces. Who ever bought a kilo of anything?

By my count, ~94% of the worlds population.

In any type of science, ounces and pounds are BS, btw. Everything is in g, kg, etc. And it's a lot easier to work with.

ime, even the slow kids seem to work out quarter ounces, eigths, and dime and nickel bags without too much trouble.

yes we teach the kids King Henry's Dog Usually Drinks Chocolate Milk for the Metric System

did that really go over your head?

I can't believe there were multiple people that missed the joke.

Who ever bought a kilo of anything? Except for my friend Dave and he's doing a few years for that one.

Yeah, the 94% that don't matter.

/ignorant American remark

What age level/subject matter would you optimally want to teach? We're assuming math given your degree, but even within math there's a lot of subjects, depending on the age group.
Have you looked into doing tutoring for that age group on the side while you have your current job, or while you're a teacher?

Hey, you're supposed to be answering questions here, not asking them.

In the spirit of that, where is that joke from?

its from an Ali G interview with some English education minister

When i started, i wanted to teach 7th or 8th grade. Here is why. I am aware that most elementary teachers are not great in math, and dont push it. And many students struggle with high school math because they do not have the foundations to be successful. I wanted to be the guy who taught them math and gave them the tools they need to be successful in high school

That being said, i enjoyed teaching high school more than middle school in my teaching experience. Could be because i did it after i did middle school and got better, or it could just be that i enjoyed the maturity level more

I prefer algebra to anything .... i love algebra so if i had my druthers i would teach mostly 9th grade integrated algebra

but ill teach anything -- in any subject even

I definitely will. I tutor SAT classes at the learning center, and i technically did sign a no compete agreement saying i wont tutor privately.. but plenty of people there do. The pay there isnt great, but it looks good on a resume and all the materials are there for you which makes it easy

Privately tutoring math, i could easily make 50-75 per hour so i am definitely going to be looking into that

im not sure, should i know?

a potential wife or the mets winning the world series?

Wife LDO. I mean the mets winning it all would bring of extreme pleasure, but a great wife would give me a lifetime of pleasure. Well, it's probably closer than i am making it sound, but definitely the wife

Well, then, what about a lifetime Mets dynasty, where they're in the postseason something like 80% of the time and actually winning a WS every 5 years or so at most...for the rest of your lifetime? Now it's a lifetime of pleasure for both.

btw if you ever get married Im bumping this thread every time the mets choke big september leads.

Hmm.... ultimate pleasure for a few days every 5 years? Way better than marriage, imo

eh ... .tempting

but ill still take the woman

I wonder if it gets boring if your team just wins all the time?

EDIT:

I mean, do you think it gets less exciting if your team wins lots of Championships, and is always in the playoffs, etc?
