What things bother you the most?

I'm sure you can. ;)

But, to be on topic, I think teachers needed to be sensitive to the dialogue between students. That's the only way you can learn the "language" they speak. I mean, slang goes way back. No matter what age group you're in, you were always exposed to slang.

So if I tell a student that they suck (jokingly, of course), and I don't mean they preform sexual acts. I mean that they suck. As in they are bad at whatever the context is.

Wow, I just totally lost my train of thought. Anywhoo...

probably a good thing i didn't go down the teaching path...not sure how much patience i would have with kids....
cause it takes a lot of patience :beaten:

lost your train of thought...?
maybe it will come back soon... :sweat:

It really does. And whenever I lose patience and snap at a kid, I always feel bad after. I think you need to be really well aware of who you are when you go into a profession where you are constantly on display for other people, ya know?

I think this is why I could never become a teacher. I would lose it. :sweat:

O yea! I remember reading that in the papers.

Knuckleheads who incessantly post in upper case.

Usually a 2x4 across the forehead remedies the situation... Thwack!!

Or this (an example from another web site)

"ZZoMgzz lyk U knOw NOTHING!!!!!one!!!111111!!!!!!! U SSSoooOO doNt knOw RyO-CHaaN!!!1111one!!!!!11!!"

I hate this kind of writing and I usually don't bother to try and decipher it if I come across it, I just skip over it. :banghead:

Yes.

I really have to fight myself to keep from deleting that crap: it's a nuisance, inconsiderate, and stupid.

Yep. It also makes the people who post like that look like low-IQ idiots.

I give kudos and pain-killer tablets (or an extra shot of liquor) to all you hardworking Mods that have to put up with so much. It's not easy fighting a war with Teenies...I've seen it happen, although not too much on this site but other web sites.

Mod: Please don't write in text speech.
Teeny: Y? U CaNt TeLl mE WaT 2 Do or hoW 2 spel 'caz I AlWayz SPeLl LyK dS an tHerz NotHinG wRon wiF It!!!One!!!1111

More than anything on a forum, it's this sort of nonsense that really gets to me...first, they can't spell or write properly and when asked nicely to be more considerate, they get really cheeky. :banghead:

I can't agree with you more: Save that crap for your blog or MySpace account... Don't give us the perception that you're a dope. :beaten:

Did you know: In some English classes, teachers actually "teach" weblanguage is an evolved form of writing. :shakehead:

I'm surprised that type of writing caught on so quick, considering it's so time consuming, and the younger generation are just so damn lazy.
