Guess what? Lots of educated middle class people are heading to teach in south central Los Angeles. In a better economy they were too good for this work.
You all really need to stop freaking out.

Not because they are too good for teaching there, but because they find it demoralizing and fruitless.

why hating so much on poor ol jlilly who did nothing but show you an informative clip?

Originally posted by jlillyYeah I'm easily the most popular guy here due to my humble, Christ-like nature.

Originally posted by jlillyYou remind me of some of the people who are supposed to be teaching me how to teach. The lady who observed my class thought it was soooo important we all know she was a lesbian and President of the LGBT something or other that she spent a whole meeting (several hours) showing her new students (graduate students in Education) happy clips of children with their happy gay parents.

Ok...but can't she like...teach me to teach and stuff?
Well...no. That's why she's quitting. She was not very popular with the people she was observing.
My gay professor's the same way, though more competent I think. He spends far too much time on gender issues (he's President of some gay organization too) and his "subversion" of the system and far too little on stuff like introducing us to teaching.
I find venemous liberal extremists like yourself who can't shut up about their gayness and hatred for right wingers really obnoxious. You're no different than Rush Limbaugh except you don't have a radio show.
