I Curse This Place With Such Vehemence That Feanor's Seems Like A Wish Of Joy

afro-elf · 06-08-2002, 11:48 AM

I just quit my job today. I just had enough with these "people". I could handle most of the garbage here but ignorant back-stabbing students was the last straw.

Don't come to the Middle East, unless its in a fully loaded B-1 bomber.

I thing I've only met a few Saudis who are decent people. The rest are !@#$%^&*

I'm either going to teach in Japan or head back to the states and join the FBI. They queried me about joining 4 years ago, but I turned them down.

I still wanna do bio=tech but it will put on hold for at least 4-5 years.

"Lt. Commander lock on to my signal and destroy this place"

read this :

The Embassy requests that wardens pass the following message in its entirety to members of the American Community:

The Embassy wishes to advise the American community of a recent incident involving an Australian family. On the afternoon of Wednesday, June 5, as the family was leaving their residence at the Najrani Compound in Tabuk, their car was fired upon by a passing vehicle. Preliminary information indicates that, as the Australian family was departing the compound, a passing vehicle stopped, the driver opened fire with a pistol and drove off. According to an unsubstantiated report, the driver of the passing vehicle, which was reported to be a tan SUV-type vehicle, was wearing camouflaged clothing. Five shots hit the Australian’s vehicle but no one in the vehicle was injured. Saudi law enforcement officials are currently investigating this incident and the Embassy will advise the American community through the warden system of new developments in this case as they become available.

Come back to the states! There's no place like home!

StrawberryIcecream · 06-08-2002, 12:57 PM

try out england! we need teachers.

Wayfarer · 06-08-2002, 01:17 PM

The FBI? Go for it. ]: )

I'd like to know the people who I'm shooting at, for once.

Cirdan · 06-08-2002, 01:32 PM

I wouldn't join the FBI unles Scully was my partner

The is a great need for teachers, at least here in the DC area (where the FBI headquarters is)... let me know if you come to town.

Saudis, can't live with them, can't live without the oil

Wayfarer · 06-08-2002, 01:46 PM

It works like this:

Teachers get treated like crap.
Few people are willing to be teachers.
There are not enough teachers to meat the need.
Standards are lowered.
Inept teachers are hired.
The students and administration, realizing that some teachers are inept, treat all teachers like crap.
Repeat as nescessary.

Federal Law Enforcement is #2. I've been to about 14 countries and I've still got the wanderlust in me. So coming home is the first choice. I can always come home but the chance to travel may not always be there.

Thanks for the offer but its easier for British ESL tecahers to get jobs in the states than vice versa. And the pay scale in not enough for be to save for school.

for myself, unless i had teenage mooters as my students, refuse to teach anything less than college age students.

being here has made me WAY TOO aggressive and that would not go down well with the "Kids in America"

whoa yeah kim wilde

Cirdan · 06-08-2002, 02:06 PM

ESL is in demand here. It's no So. Cal. but the pay is better.

Elf Girl · 06-08-2002, 02:11 PM

When I read the title of the thread I thought you meant Entmoot...

I'm glad you don't.

Darth Tater · 06-08-2002, 03:46 PM

Come back here and join the feds, then tell me all about the truth that is out there.

Renille · 06-08-2002, 07:53 PM

Good luck finding a better job than before! (But that's probably ANYTHING, isn't it??)

Hey, we need some decent Teachers in West Virginia. Come on over. It would be kind of hard to call you Mr. what-ever-you-last-name-is though. The principals would ask me why I call the new teacher Afro-elf!

Menelvagor · 06-09-2002, 11:57 AM

Sorry to hear about that AE. Luthien is right though, Japan would be awesome! And if you don't like it over there, WE NEED TEACHERS IN FLORIDA TOO!

galadriel88 · 06-09-2002, 03:09 PM

My samll private school is always in need of teachers, come check out Alabama sometime! We're almost a froeign country...

***Sister Golden Hair*** · 06-09-2002, 04:12 PM

afro-elf, whatever you do, get the hell out of that god forsaken hell hole. I say come back home and take your chances. If things don't work out then you can always hit the trail again.

afro-elf · 06-09-2002, 04:38 PM

I'm gonna head back to Thailand for the summer and just chill out. Its EXTREMELY cheap so at least there my money can stretch a long way. I'll make my chocies there.

EVERYONE thanks for the support.

***Sister Golden Hair*** · 06-09-2002, 04:46 PM

Best of luck to you.
