If I remember correctly, the Endeavor updates according to a person's recent posting habits. Someone who posts a lot, like Myself, Salmon, and Dikiyoba will get updated quite frequently. Someone who posts only rarely will get updated on a far slower rate. Besides, XxX is a very new newbie. His posting habits haven't quite been established yet.

I don't know if my villain will be considered any good. I'm aiming for trying to make the party somewhat sympathetic to the villain's cause, yet they still hate his guts. Whether I pull it off is yet to be seen.

I know this isn't related, Kelandon, but I sent you a PM a week ago about your scenario.

Not in Dikiyoba's experience. Dikiyoba's cat seems to be able to keep meowing for a very, very long time. Perhaps being a Siamese has something to do with that.
Ah, the Siamese. Master of whining. You have my sympathy.

you seem to blame the teachers for why they don't teach well, while I blame the school system itself.
In all honesty, it's the whole system that's falling apart.

quote:
Sure, there are bad teachers. But there are also many good ones and many more average ones...
You just hit upon the problem. The average teacher today no longer measures up to past average teachers. Therefore, the quality of education suffers, and the system suffers as a whole.

quote:
After all, it's hard to teach meaningful information when there are so many tests and standards that have to be met, and money has to go to administering those tests instead of going to more useful things.
That doesn't mean a teacher can't try to teach meaningful information. It just means they have to find an approach that works.

quote:
Finally, I don't remember how many teachers quit in their first few years of teaching, but it's quite a lot. And since teachers with more experience make better teachers, this high turnover rate isn't a good thing, and signals that we have a larger problem with the school system.
This has more to do with another subject then it does to teaching. I'm not interested in delving into that, because we're drifting too far off-topic as it is.

Dikiyoba thinks that's a good thing. It's the teachers with ambition that are scheming to get ahead and look for a district with a better offer or retire and then get re-hired part-time to make extra money instead of caring for the students.
That wasn't quite what I meant. I was talking about how teachers lack the ambition to teach, instead of Tullegolar's terms of advancing up the social ladder.

Not to mention that this topic was already LOCKED once.

Seriously, if the previous one was locked, this one most certainly will. It has copyright infringement written all over it.

Originally by Emperor Tullegolar:
Teachers: As I said before, secondary school teachers do not need much education, thus they get paid little. If they are really good at what they do, they should get more education and become a college professor. Staying a high school teacher shows lack of ambition, a quality of the weak. They may really enjoy what they do, and that is great, but it still shows complacence. Complacence should not be rewarded.
Now here is a subject I know rather well.

Teachers DO need education, and quite a bit of it. Many teachers today (NOT ALL) don't even know what they're teaching. They just look it up out of a book, and act like they actually know what they're trying to teach. This form of teaching is probably about as effective as sitting every student down with a book, and having them read for the entire class. It works, but don't expect any exceptional results. If the teachers don't have an education, how do you expect their students to get an education. It becomes a constant, downward spiral that eventually will cripple the whole system of education.

This brings me to a different aspect of teaching. Many of the teachers today (AGAIN, NOT ALL) don't even care about just how important a job they hold. To them, it's just a way to put food on the table. Should teachers be payed more? Of course! Their job is one of the most important of any country. A public educational system is a vital part of the economy, not to mention the social structure, of any country, even a Tullegolite one. However, the teachers of today treat this important task as if it were menial labor. There's a good percentage of teachers that actually care about teaching, but then you have a far greater percentage that couldn't care less about how they affect the lives of the students, or, more importantly, how they are supposed to affect the lives of their students. If you're not going to be passionate about what you're doing, then maybe you shouldn't be doing it.

In a way, maybe Tullegolar is right. Teachers are lacking ambition. It's just that only teachers can truly change this.

Nah, -X- has a major independent streak. Depressed, maybe, but I don't think Dikiyoba would cast him as a servant for the Dint-miester.

Of course, I'm not Dikiyoba, so anything could happen.

EDIT: Dikiyoga? Wow, my mind was wandering somewhere else last night. Or my keyboard was poking some fun at me.

Here's a bizarre twist to this forum. Assuming that everything holds to it's current course...

LAST MONTH THIS MONTH
1 Nioca ----------------- Nioca
2 Dikiyoba -------------- Dikiyoba
3 Alorael --------------- Alorael
4 Emperor Tullegolar ---- Emperor Tullegolar
5 Jumpin' Salmon -------- Jumpin' Salmon (Original)
6 Arancaytar ------------ Ephesos
7 Tyranicus. ------------ Andraste
8 Ephesos --------------- Tyranicus.
9 Nikki ----------------- Guardian Magma
10 *i -------------------- Arancaytar
Note the top five. If my prediction holds, no one in the top five will have changed position. It appears that, when pushed to post, patterns start emerging in our post counts.
