Microsoft vs. Northwest Schools Part II

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the return-of-the-linux-jedi dept.

    let me get this straight..you are a high school teacher, and you refer to Microsoft as M$, like a 16 year old h4x0r?

    C'mon now, the English teacher next door to you would probably fail you if you used such juvenile spelling in an essay.

  6. Teachers are paid well by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Teachers my age are making quite a bit more money than the average American, and more than I've ever made in IT. That is a fact.

    But for the most part, they are very poorly educated. Much of their professional education was on how to change the beliefs and values of the children, not on the subjects they are expected by the taxpayers to teach.
