Re: Love you guys
I don't know what you mean, but I refuse to quit/get-kicked-out. I.must.gradute
Do you have relatives/family or do you know people there? Do you know a person who's willing to give you a job there?
Do you know the dutch education system a little bit?
Are you going to do MBO(associates degree), HBO(apparently, what is considered real college) or WO(university)?
We're pretty damn flexible with english, but knowing some dutch might help?
Do you/will you have the money to do it? Plans man...

Re: Love you guys
As far as bullies go, it's up to you to scare them off, teachers don't care. I was once given a lecture because I asked a teacher to help before things got physical.
As far as violent teachers? once someone lays hands on you you've got the right to fight them off as much as you need to, to get yourself out of the situation. Most classrooms have one door, and if it comes to it as long as the teacher strikes first and is between the student and the door... yea.
Above all, Vorpal was right, be the one they fear. I was lucky, my last name translates to assassin in Italian, and the mob is still scary enough that people made asumptions and left me alone for the most part. Figure out who else is being picked on, and if they don't want to be friends sugest you guys stick together for safety in numbers at the least. When I did get picked on I had one of the biggest guys in school backing me, along with a few other people and that's probably what saved me a lot of troubble when people realized my name's just a name. If you can pull off something like that you'll be better off till you can get out of there.

Re: Love you guys
Well there's as I said: Three general levels after high school(Dutch high school is divided in something like 7 levels, but let's not discuss that), MBO, HBO and WO.
Which is something like, College, College, Uni.
MBO is more practical orientated then HBO.
On learning dutch: There's loads and loads of stuff online. Yes, having somebody IRL will help (immensely) but you can learn lots online.
But a warning though, dutch can be a pretty damn complicated and confusing language.
I'l post more later, most likely. Going to bed for now.

Re: Love you guys
Hey you're more then welcome here in holland!
If you want to learn dutch, I'd be willing to help. Pm me if you need my email.
On the other stuff, that's harsh, cruel and very sucky (understatement). It's always strange to me when people don't realise, other people are well different from them. Ah well C'est la vie"Did we send the "don't shoot we're pathetic" message yet?" - John Crichton

Re: Love you guys
high school sucked for me too. If it wasnt for my friends, dnd, and my music, I am not sure I would have made it the person I was.
Trust me once your out, It is illegal for anyone to treat you like crap. But making them stay away from you helps. Us metal head dnd players traveled in packs, and only the jocks and preps messed with us. I remember when I was walking alone a couple jocks were messing with me. I had had a bad day, and I looked him in the eye dead serouis and said " Are You Ready" and charged them. Ran off screaming. They didnt mess with us.

Re: Love you guys
you seem like a good kid, and Alot of us went through the same crap. just remember, your having more fun then they are living up to their social standards. Many of them are just hiding behind a fake skin, not being who they are.

We're not in the same grade. We're not in the same level of school, either.

Re: Love you guys
... Am I the only one who thought it'd be really, really funny if I and a few of my buddies were to go teach some punks that there's always a meaner nerd? We don't even need weapons. My unit's scored more kills with Humvees and MRAPs than machineguns or assault rifles, anyways. ^_^
Comedy aside, it does get better once you're out of high school and out of the Deep South. People stop trying to act cool. A lot of the guys I serve with now were the sorts who picked on nerds in high school (some of 'em even play Warhammer and D&D with me), something they now regret as pointless, childish posturing.
It's because people here tend to act more like real people than Internetizens.
Doesn't always work, says the guy who broke someone's collar bone with a T-square and dozens of other incidents ranging from the merely violent to the exotically bloodthirsty. Once people get scared enough of you, you're completely cut out from the social circles. It's only come up as a job skill once.

Re: Love you guys
Say what? One of the major reasons I want to be a teacher is because I feel like I could bring a new sort of element that most classes lack. Which is enthusiasm for the subject and/or a bit of nerdy projects. And speaking of wages and the like, look up different states. Texas is fairly good to its teachers afaik. And/or you could teach college/university level.
I say if teaching seems like a worthwhile position for you, go for it."I am the Undying Terror!"SpoilerLord Blace avi by Rowsen!Avis and dolls are the fine work of Recaiden!

Re: Love you guys
You're thinking about it the wrong way. They are stuck in that classroom with YOU. The person who ultimately decides whether or not they need to take that particular class again. (Unless it's an elective, but chances are, if that's the case, you're more likely to get students who are genuinely interested in the subject matter. One of the reasons I enjoyed my AP Comp Sci classes so much.)

Re: Love you guys
I agree with the new direction the discussion is going in, you do not want to teach students who goto school because they have to. University or something maybe, but not a public school teacher.
If a student has to be there, they will resent you, not all of them, not even most, but enough to make your day bad. every day. At a university everyone's there by choice, but I think you've got to be teaching for a while to get into one as a teacher. Then again I've never applied to teach.

Re: Love you guys
If you do have trouble learning dutch, or the like may I suggest just moving further away from where you are for college. Even most parts of the states would be better then that, (Cheaper too maybe, unless they charge more for out of state students) However if you don't mind the cold Canada is nice too, or England etc. There are plenty of neat places where English is prominent so might want to consider those too.
If I lived nearby, I'd be happy to teach them a lesson for you though.. (In particular the stupid teachers. )The avatar isn't really a good example of my work as I did it with my hand in a brace, hopefully I can put something nicer up soon. -TD

Re: Love you guys
I'm the first to say that teaching is no cake-walk, and definitely not for everyone, but if it is for you, you are doing something incredible every day for dozens of children. And even though they sometimes make you want to tear your hair out, the next day you'll have a kid come back and thank you for being the one to keep them from dropping out of school. And that is just amazing.
Anyway, you can't just jump to teaching University. You've got to have at least a doctorate to get a tenure track spot, and that includes work in the field.
