In Reply to: RE: Professionals in a given field may be more qualitied to teach that subject than a "professional teacher" posted by RGA on August 17, 2014 at 15:19:31
RGA:
With all due respect,you may be knowledgeable about teacher training and instruction in Canada; that makes good sense. However, you should own up to not knowing know your you know what from a hole in the wall about public schools in the United States.Just do experience American educators a favor and keep your hands off the key board about that subject, which includes, but is not limited to: teacher training and certification, pedagogy, curriculum, class room instruction, the impact of fundamentalist religion on curriculum and instruction, hiring and retaining teachers, or school funding. Finally, you are ignorant of the critical issues that now face public schools in the United States. So please, avoid like the plague subjects that are beyond your reach and your grasp. Stick to reviewing equipment and retelling your teaching and audio experiences abroad.

What did I say about the US Education system. I described the Canadian system and then only in British Columbia.
The person I replied to said he found a teacher with 6 credits teaching science where he believed in Creationism.
Now anyone who is NOT an utter moron would take his commentary and say gee wherever he is from seems to be handing out education degrees in Pez dispensers.
I not once said I knew the ins and outs of the US education system - anyone who isn't a total and utter moron would know this.
My comments are about where I am from - and anyone who isn't an utter moron read where I specifically noted such.
lord addleford,
There's no way that the smug opinionated RGA is going to change. As the weary old cliché goes, "a Leopard doesn't change its spots". The fool can't learn to hold his opinions (about things he obviously knows nothing about) to himself. I suggested that tactic to him about a week ago, but his latest rant only goes toward proving my point.
Perhaps the reason that he's "teaching" in Asia is that the Canadians can't stand him either.
Cheers,
Al

I try mightily not to respond to the general flow of RGA's dribble. But, when it comes to education, a field in which I worked for thirty plus years, he has gone over the edge. The problem is that he can't control his impulses to spew forth his supposed wisdom in any domain. From time to time he makes an attempt at self deprecation, but we all know that it has no meaning and his spewing continues ad nauseam. All we can do is not respond to his drivel; regardless, ignoring him will have no effect on his output. As Kurt Vonnegut wrote, "So it goes"

I have several friends who have taught and have been principal for 30+ years in the Canadian education system - so which FACT did I get wrong and I will run it by them.
For someone who is a so called teacher why don't you teach instead of slagging people constantly. Have an actual case. Tell me what I said that irritates you.
If you read the first paragraph I said "(and it may be a State to State issue than a U.S. issue I am not sure).
See if you were not a total moron you would have read that I clearly state that I do not know exactly how things are run in the U.S. I have met several teachers from the United States who have told me various things about hiring standards. So what the truth about those things are I do not know - AND I SAID THAT!
Now I could tell you all the things I've been told but it is beyond the scope of this thread.
The OP noted what he saw with the educational standard of a science teacher. Now it is not being arrogant to state the Science should not be taught by guys with 6 credits of science or a guy who believes in creationism - these people are stupid and it is not arrogant to call them stupid because stupid is stupid. Willful ignorance is stupid.
So I told the OP where I am coming from with my comments and how unlike it is from the science teacher he was talking about.
I am stunned that you seem to read these conversations and never ever see the big picture point. Instead you seem to deliberately look at minutiae. Same with the PTSD fellow who out of the whole post freaks out because I got the rank wrong. I mean you have to be deliberately stupid - I am looking for the haha camera where I am being pranked.
RGA,
Perhaps you and I could meet face to face so I could personally explain all of this to you. It appears that some individuals, even teachers, can only understand what they choose to understand until they are personally shown the error of their ways.
Until then,
Al
