potsie--seriously, on a scale from 1 to completely retarded, how slow are you? i tell you over and over again, i teach high school. now from what i gleaned from your teachers, you are not too bright...i think the word was "stupid", so i will type slowly so that you can understand. HIGH SCHOOL KIDS ARE NOT PRE-TEENS, they are, in fact, teenagers.
and i teach adults English, so i would quite imagine my vocabulary supercedes yours.
and maybe Michigan teachers are not too broght, but to teach ANYWHERE in Japan, you need a 4-year degree. one would think, though, that if people of lesser education taught you and are currently teaching your children, well, that would explain the obvious lack of intellect.
and again, i have to always repeat myself with you so you can learn, i am fairly sure that the "no degree to teach" rule in MI does not apply to high school teachers. but, i am not sure, as i have never lived there, and based on their questionable education (according to you), i would never raise my kids there. but go one with you bad self.
but despite all of your ignorance, the thing that i truly loathe about you is how you look down on other jobs that you think are beneath you, like flight attendants and landscapers...even teachers. you are not better than anyone on these boards...not anyone.
