If it's not, please scan that page of your handbook, I could use a good laugh. I’m really hoping that’s a joke. If it’s not, please scan that page of your handbook, I could use a good laugh.

Like Transformers, for example. While your complaints seem legitimate, Michael, there might be more to the issue than meets the eye.

It results in suspension but is not plagiarism 2. You are in a Varsity or JV sport (regardless of offense) This is because the school adores our football teams and would never let them lose a game on account of a missing player. Meanwhile, a few of our Foreign Language Classes got cut when the school refused to replace the 3 teachers who are retiring. In my school, you can only fight a punishment if

Either that, or all of us are going to do very well in life. I say "all of us", because you guys are all very smart and motivated. You'd have to be to read my blog. :P Thanks for that wonderful uplifting news, Kim. But, why don't you share your source? Any potential for a name to be linked with this blog post condemning her teaching will <em>not</em> be tolerated, of course. That would just be wrong. @Michael: I think you should have fought it.

I will officially kill myself if I do not get a decent job in a decent timeframe after I graduate. It can NOT be that hard.

The median salary for a high school teacher I believe is $40,000, maybe less. Um, I’m not really sure as to where the salary thread is going, but just to throw it out there-

I guess I'll have to do some research on this. I’m so confused. I guess I’ll have to do some research on this.

Whoever said that meant the entry salary for an Associate/Assistant Professor (~$30K) You don't make Professor money (~$80K+) until you're 40ish (or older) Which is why I'm considering becoming a Chem E instead of a Prof or teacher No, I looked some things up.
