Is J.P. Arencibia on here yet? I've got some things that I'd like to say to him...

Wouldn't that just be in the early years though? After awhile, you would get your s*** down wouldn't you and have less new material to develop? (I haven't really followed the overall argument but I thought I'd make that small point).

 

Man, they work on upgrading things every time they have the chance. My mom was a teacher before she retired, and I can tell you that she was working all the time when she was off (evenings, weekends, summers etc...) to improve her offerings to her students. There isn't an "end game" for teachers. They are always working and always trying to improve (obviously, there are the minority that are shitboxes, but they're the minority and they can lick my taint...)

This is because they pay the teachers too much. In Ontario they are the 2nd highest paid teachers in North America. Teachers love to complain that they work 65 hours a week and how with 30 kids in a class it's so stressful and bad for the kids...solution is simple. Cut their pay way back, us that money to hire more teachers, which will cut class sizes, help the kids and reduce the stress/hours on the teachers.

 

Try suggesting that logical solution to a teacher (the ones who say they are fighting 'for the children') and watch them squirm...

 

In what universe is this even remotely a logical solution?

There was an article on teachers salary a month or two ago for each province. I think most were around $70k+ after being there for a while. Summers off, spring break, Christmas? Off at 3:30? Hour lunch? Sign me up. That being said $70k here in Manitoba is like making over $100k in Toronto.

 

Go ahead and become a teacher. Tell me how awesome your job is after a few years of actually being a teacher, even with the reasonable (but not amazing) salary and the exceptional vacation days. People that try to get into the field for that end up failing out of the field. It's tough work, but people who excel at it deserve it.

 

Also, teachers deserve our respect, not our derision. They train EVERYONE. Anyone who has ever done anything worthwhile in society has had dozens of teachers, so they shouldn't be disparaged.

Underfunded my ass. Education has never had more money thrown at it than it does today. The problem is that very little of this massive over-funding translates to actual learning because of the gigantic parasite that public education has become. Far too much money spent on sweetheart pension deals, useless administration, and exorbitant field trips and summer camps that have virtually no educational value.

 

Public education is a failed experiment, simple as that. The only solution at this point is to blow up the whole system and start over from scratch. A complete de-funding of all education and a return of taxes to families to spend as they see fit. Only then will education improve or become cheaper. Unfortunately none of this will happen until a massive sovereign debt crisis ala Greece hits us.

 

Public Education is literally the best thing that society can do to improve itself. Sorry, but... Wow, just.. Just an awful post.

Class starts at 9 and ends at 3:30...so they have 2.0 hrs a day for that stuff before they even put in a full day.

 

Yeah, find me a teacher than isn't working at least 4 hours at home every night and I'll find you a teacher that doesn't last more than a year....

My thoughts on various things in this thread. 1) We lost this trade, but not by much.. maybe a 6/4 loss. Pretty even, but we're on the bad side of it. 2) Osuna needs to start, and if LaCava doesn't think he can do it in the majors, you give that f***er some minor league starts. 3) I've totally lost my train of thought now. 4) Chavez could be decent for us, and if we do extend him, it had best be for $10M/year or less. 5) I've lost my train of thought again. 6) La Tortuga.

Who the hell is GoJays ?

 

Excellent single post account. Don't post again or you'll ruin it!

This was justified.

exactly how i feel. Lol

 

white should have been hitting 9th

 

henderson

alomar

molitor

 

clearly should have been the 1-2-3

 

hamco > wamco.

All money lost by Rogers is directly related to NextIssue. f*** NextIssue.

Best part of the video was the KFC logo next to a dog logo...

Don't worry guys, this is all part of the master plan to poach Dave Stewart from Arizona...

I'm going to allow this, but ONLY so we can quote it for years to come and laugh, and laugh, and laugh...

Part about Sam Dyson's butt tap to Tulo was gold, just gold!

 

Okay, "Joey Bat-Flip" is not going to happen. ESPN needs to cut that s*** out right now.

I disagree - if he can hit 250 and bring his defence he's a starter. Sure it helps this team can hide his bat, but that defence is as good as any Blue Jay ever.

 

Nope. If he can hit .250 AND walk at the pace he was over the past month or so of the regular season, then he's arguably, possibly, as good as Travis, and in starter territory. I am less than sold that he has learned patience; I'm more likely to attribute that to the sample size. Goins with an OBP of ~.320 could be a decent everyday player, but I'd have to see that over any length of time to believe it was possible.

Revere is a funny unique guy. Really humble and seems like a genuine nice fellow. The interview Admin posted of him talking to MLB for 3.5 mins after the game is actually hilarious.

 

I think Revere would easily be the most fun member of the team to hang out with...

No way???!??! Brando is Deadpool, never knew that.

 

Everyone always seems so astounded by that, as though I don't have exactly the same sense of humour and posting style or something

 

The old name came from a band I was in at the time, I'm no longer in that band, so it would have been odd to continue using that name when I signed up here

I think I've been 10 years here with you guys. If I buy a new phone or computer, the first thing I do (after lose my login password of the site) is to connect with you guys.

 

Amo este lugar; amo estar aqui!!

 

God bless you all

 

I just assumed your password was SexyGoatz4All!

And it's somehow ridiculously sexy which makes no sense.

 

I am always sexy when I'm hammered... I'm also an excellent dancer, and my political views are never shouted far too loudly at anyone who disagrees with me...

My move would probably to have the Rangers commit a few errors, then have Bautista hit a 3 run homer. I think it's a bold strategy, but it could pay off...

 

Donaldson is pretty hammered...

Okay, good inning, pressure back on Hammels now!

Two pitches in that AB that were better than the one that struck Tulo out and the first strike to Pillar..

Tie game if the ump was replaced with a robot. Just saying.
