Yeah, but the smart ones might learn more information or do more reading that can turn that smartness into something closer to wisdom.
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I rest my case.

Gay.
Obviously. But intelligence wonāt change. There are a lot of dummies with degrees and advanced degrees.
So what masters degree are you interested in? Genuine question. Or career path.
I was a trainer with a guy whoās older brother got a major in botany and spanish. Now he just fucks around in the rainforest in Central America.

I agree. You can be gay and be a virgin.
Yeah itās been a pretty gay debate.
If you know history you would know that saying something like āRome didnāt have generalsā is a rather provocative statement, mostly because itās wrong.
If you meant to add nuance, the time to do it was in the same post where you made the provocative statement.
Instead you leave the forum to wonder what in the hell you can possibly be talking about, and we eventually sort of figure that out like we did here.
Debate, no. Gay, yesā¦ you are.
No, itās not. And a smart fella like you should be able to understand the nuance without me holding your hand. Being Polish isnāt the same as having a learning disability. At least itās not quite the same.
In summary, they spoke a different language in that time and place.
You get a point.

Nothing very exciting like that guy. Some of my professors are urging me to keep going with history, which if I did, Iād probably narrow in on some aspect of Native American history.
But I donāt think I want to spend seven years getting a PhD to work in academia and teach at the college level.
So Iāll probably get a masterās in Secondary Ed so I can teach high school and earn a bit more money than if I just had a bachelorās. I work well with teenagers, and would like the options for community involvement that would come with being so familiar with the local school districtās students.
(@zecarlo has already shared his opinion on what to expect as a teacher. Iām well aware of the many cons of the profession.)

I havenāt seen the word gay thrown around so much since middle school.
But it seems that you will find yourself in different circumstances that might make it easier.

The teacher I will always remember was a (hot, in hindsight) Ukrainian? (she educated a bunch of street urchins about chicken Kiev) lady who wrote in my Junior High School autograph book (too poor a school to have photo yearbooks): punny, you are funny and sunny bright, but my hope for you is that one day you will also be wise.
50+ years later, I am still working at it.

I didnāt even know this was a thing. And I went to school in an old hospital.
Sounds like a good teacher!
P.S. I donāt know why, but I just paid attention to your profile picture. Was that supposed to be a joke about Greenboy (RIP)? Itās been a few years.

My 8th grade German teacher.
Oh my god, she was freakin gorgeous! Had a really soft, almost French inflection as she spoke due to growing up in the Rhineland region.

THIS, is the kind of circumstance that the kids of the current generation will never experience again. All theyāre gonna get are a bunch of crazed, narrative driven lunatics who donāt believe in āappearancesā.
The purpose of this post is to impart accurate historical information about the sociocultural trends of the 1980ās.

Three of my parents were teachers. This thread got too weird.
