Fattwins 0 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Man I work with an Idiot! She cant speak or understand English. I told her Nova was going down yet she bought more text-books. She takes a day off a week or more for stress. Has her own work PC yet uses one of the shared pcs(by 4 people without pcs) cause she doesnt want to use it at her desk. She Just asked someone with no pc to leave a pc even though she has her own pc. I dont want to work with her anymore! If she is here next year I will request a job change! Idiot!

Domokun_72dpi 0 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 LOL. Thats hell funny FT. A day off a week for stress?, that's naughty. Sounds like my ex-boss. I call him "ex-boss", cos he couldn't manage for peanuts, so I am supposedly "managed" by someone else. He is playing the system (government worker). he was taking stress leave (1 day a week), and then taking 1 day a week also off from his long service. Then, he had counselling service for half day on another day, and turns up at 9:45, and leaves by 5:30. To top it off, he doesn't do ANY work all day, but he will write articles & put components on his own web site... I am with you on this one FT, I hate people like this, mind you, they make your own work look excellent =) hang in there FT Link to post Share on other sites

samurai 0 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 don't get me started on idiots, FT. But I don't necessarily blame them, per se. I generally blame the system for turning those idiots into who they are. A hierarchy-based work ethic that promotes according to seniority and not merit is doomed to develop idiots. I won't be with my school much longer either. Putting up with the system is just way too tiring. It's amazing how often I get interupted when I'm having a live meeting with collegues overseas, developing next year's educational software. I never get bothered at my desk here unless I'm wearing a mic and talking to the computer. It's then... when I'm working harder than is expected of my job requirements, that I get interupted by completely ridiculous topics. "I don't want to design new materials. Why is our newest teacher designing new materials? Let's go interupt him." Hit the nail requiring attention on the head... if you will. What's the Japanese proverb for that? I always thought it was just a proverb. But now that I am working harder than my coworkers and gaining more training then them, I see how blatant it is. Now I understand why my smart students are so reserved. Link to post Share on other sites

Domokun_72dpi 0 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 heeey,. seeing as though some of u are teachers, may I ask what you do to grade them?, My wifey is developing a program to handle marking & stuff, and I am keen to see what others use, and if they have a need for a new system (I have told her to add a multilingual system into it). Anyhow, if anyone has thoughts, please PM me. Cheers... Ok, back on track, Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I often just role a die which has: A, B, C, D, F on it and see what happens...you should hear the complaints sometime. Like, at my old school last year, a 7th grade boy didnt answer one question wrong, well, technically he didnt even answer one question, so I gave him 100% and an A in my class...his classmates were pissed - you shoulda seen all the zero's the following sememster on the Final exam Link to post Share on other sites

samurai 0 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 language isn't quantitative. One can give a vocab test, but that doesn't signify anything other than memorization skills, which has nothing to do with communication. I teach communication. They get written tests to make the school happy, but half their grade is actually effort, motivation, and study habits. They know this too. The more notes they take, the more effort they apply, etc, the more the latter part of their grade goes up. I could give a rats-ass about how they can perform on any written test. Then again, I don't come from a heirarchy-based society. Hence, my juggling for fair grades. Link to post Share on other sites
samurai 0 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Originally Posted By: Go Native Being incredibly intelligent I've always found myself surrounded by idiots... As one gains wisdom, he is perpetually doomed to the torment of idiots. One can't have it both ways. Another element of that expression is Change. I often gripe with my wife about how outdated my school system is and how much work it's going to take to modernize it. Then she reminds me that if it weren't out-of-date, I wouldn't have those dreams in the first place. So... thank god they're idiots living in the past. Link to post Share on other sites
Domokun_72dpi 0 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Well, in terms of IQ level, it's not that hard to seem intelligent next to idiots: IQ: <21 : Idiot 21-50 : Imbecile 51-70 : Moron 71-80 : Borderline Deficiency >130 : Gifted I think I am borderline Moron Link to post Share on other sites

kokodoko 67 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 So, they have idiots in the educational institutions in japan as well? It must be a world-wide phenomenon. I do contract work for an educational institution and now i just say yes to whatever they want and do not dispute anything. It is much easier on my sanity. A hint: Always say yes to idiots.
