You realize that the whole basis of alpha-beta wolf (where alpha male comes from) was disproved by the guy who thought he discovered it? He even tried to remove his paper from circulation where he made the term up.

you realize that the only time someone says "you realize" is when they think the person they're addressing does NOT realize what they're about to say

Who was talking about wolves?
Unless someone has disproved the Greek alphabet, alpha means first and beta means second.

We already have a fabricator on the board...but I'm pretty sure he doesn't weld. He could probably tell you all about welding though, and you can be sure that he absolutely will if you're not careful with your words.

The majority of teachers I run into are babysitters that bitch if they have to do anything outside of their 6 hour work day.

The majority of teachers I run into are babysitters that bitch if they have to do anything outside of their 6 hour work day. Yeah, that's becoming a much larger problem over the last decade, and hiring teachers that don't even have a background in their subject just blows my mind. This new 9 to 5 only mindset is starting to invade the realm of secondary schools (not so much Primary schools). It used to be you were there early, stayed late, worked on your material/grading etc... during the "off-hours", and spent the summer "break" developing material for the course, working youth programs, and doing summer school classes. Jess's best friend is a department head at a University in Illinois, but she also helps oversee/train/organize/etc... French teachers for high schools in the state and says that very few are actually fluent in the language they are supposed to be teaching, most not even being at a French 3 level, and shying away from developing work for their students. I guess she hears this is a problem across most subjects at the High School level, basically hiring people with an education degree but no actual degree in the subject manner at hand. Jess is probably about 6 months or so out of having her certificate to teach high school in Missouri, she's pretty much gonna have her choice of job. Can teach three languages (English, French, German), speaks some Arabic, BSc in Chem and Math, and more original course and curriculum design than 90% of the teachers in the country already. There is only one person in the Metro area more qualified than her for teaching French, and it actually someone she used to work with and got the job at the private school last year over her because she retired from University Academics. There really needs, in my opinion, to be a more developed, subject-focused, and logical system for requirements to teach at a secondary school. Not only will this improve potential education, but at least then some of the higher paid teachers have a reason to be getting paid that. Granted though many teachers are vastly under paid even if not working the summer section, but that tends to be among the schools are that seeing their budget eaten by politics.

The teachers here are getting ready to strike. They turned down their 1% pay raise that was proposed in about 30 seconds. They are like 48th or 49th lowest paid in the country, but they make just above the average for our area. Try to name another job where you get three consecutive months off and still make above the avg income for the area. I honestly can't wait till my daughter gets a little older so I can get the hell out of this place.

Teachers work on the low end of the scale about 2,145 hours in 9 months. That isn't including if they do any work over the summer (which most do, much of it unpaid). If they are the 48th lowest average (which includes administrative pay), that puts them at about 42k/yr, that is under 20$/hr to teach these kids not to be morons and fuck up life for the rest of us. And with the take no responsibility helicopter parents that are all over nowadays, they have it worse than most of the service industry. That isn't including anything they pay for out of pocket for the school, and assuming they are in the average pay range instead of teaching at a budget school since the higher end of the pay scale tends to really sway the average. Take the local district here, you'll start at about 37ish, within 4 years you can be clearing 70+ and cap out at about 115 (unless going into administration) if you teach the right classes and also do extracurricular programs.

Why the fuck is Jackel in the job thread again? For fuck's sake.
Teachers work about 38 weeks out of the year. Even at 50 hours a week that is 1,900 hours for the year. There are teachers who will contract for a longer period but they also get compensated more for a 9 month vs 10 month contract. If they do summer school, they are most certainly paid extra for that. Many take summer jobs to supplement their income while still enjoying several weeks of vacation.
Two of my best friends are teachers. One does do a lot more hours during the school year but the other does the bare minimum because he has set up a good curriculum that works and doesn't fuck around. Neither of them work anywhere near what Jack-Off is saying. They are not putting in 60 hour work weeks. Some might but they are idiots.
Don't get me wrong, I would never do it. It is thankless, shit work. That doesn't change the fact that Jackel is once again, full of shit.

My kid started school this year. Her teacher regularly sends home papers with misspelled words and improper grammar. If even 10% of the teachers in this country are the same way, I can see why they’re paid so low.

In my area this is how the school schedule lays out. 10 weeks off for summer, 1 week for thanksgiving, 2 weeks for Christmas, 1 week for spring break, combined other holidays, 1.5 weeks (presidents, memorial, labor, veterans, MLK, etc). That equals 36.5 weeks of service a year, or 182 days. The teachers show up at 7:30, school is out at 2:30 and the school is an absolute ghost town by 4:30 every day. That equals a 9 hour work day (giving them a huge benefit of the doubt) x 182 = 1,630 hours a year. The teachers in my area make about $55k a year, which breaks down to about $33 p/hour.

That's a nice area to be a teacher then. I was running my numbers off the national averages for K-12 which calculates in out-of-school hours working on materials too (making/grading/etc..) Now I have known of some teachers, as Hugh has mentioned have a subject that allows them to design a very tight curriculum which minimizes the out of classroom hours. Sadly this isn't the case for most subjects since curriculum requirements for some subjects change on an almost yearly basis thanks to a fucked up DoE, trial programs, parent complaints, etc... Honestly I think a rather large chunk of Secondary level teachers are overpaid due to lack of qualifications and lack of care about the job. Teaching is more than "just a job", and if you are just in it for the paycheck you aren't going to be a good teacher. At the same time, there are great teachers that are being forced to buy supplies out of pocket, making 30 something a year, doing 13+hrs a day plus summers while getting shit on by damn near everyone. Overall the system is fucked up. I think the easiest, and fastest way to start making some changes to the quality of education in this country is to start having serious education requirements for the teachers themselves in relation to their subject matter. That'll prevent most teachers from being "overpaid", and start showing results that should convince people that we need to treat our teachers better because they are actually teachers.

Buddy of mine went from years of teaching to taking a principal position. Smart and great guy, couldn't think of someone better for the role.
But the school is local. He is paranoid to even have a beer at the pro ball game in fear it's gonna get a pic of him on social media.
Gave him some edibles recently. He texted me couple hours later, told me he shut down datenight with the wife, couldn't risk being seen in public. It's lol and not lol all at the same time. But I get it, i wouldn't want to be out like that and run into a client, let alone a kids parents.

My best friend is a teacher here locally, trust me he is putting in nowhere near the hours jackel is talking about. If I had to guess I would say he is probably the type of teacher like Bradly Cooper was in the first Hangover movie. New teachers here start in the very low 30's, but again that's most jobs in this area. The state govt came back this morning with a 2% raise proposal and the teachers immediately rejected it.

To me that is a bad teacher. Teachers in the public eye seem to be much like police. The few bad apples skew the view of the overall system. Forget the pay aspect of it, the worst part is it seems to push the acceptance of the way they are treated because of how horrible a job they are doing because of this one teacher in West Virginia, and this other teacher in Spanish Harlem, and this other teacher in Paris Texas.

I own a energy conservation company. I have contracts with a few different electric companies. What I do is, I go into residential homes and run tests to see how leaking their home may be and their duct system. If the home or duct system is leaky/drafty I find the leaks and I fix them. I also blow in attic insulation, install LED bulbs, showerheads and aerators, a smart surge protector. We also provide HVAC cleaning (cleaning the coils) and last but not least we install Ecobee 4 thermostats (like the Nest). Everything I just said I do at no cost for the homeowner. The electric company pays me to do it.
My home office is in Mansfield TX (between Dallas and Fort Worth). But all of the work I do is hours away. Places I work is:
Beaumont TX Texarkana TX Texarkana AR Hope AR Magnolia/El Dorado AR Fayetteville AR Ft. Smith AR Norman OK. I just started working in OK this year.
I'm very proud to say my company was awarded the best duct sealing company of all the contractors, The best Quality of all the contractors, Most savings per home per all contractors. Overall we are the #1 contractor.
My guys drive me crazy all the damn time, but I am proud of them that they are doing better then the other contractors.
I guess thats it.
