I'm beginning to remember why I opted out of the teaching portion for residents.

	Sounds like you need a new job. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	As I just changed jobs to teach, I suspect changing in a matter of months wouldn't be looked upon too highly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Why'd you choose teaching? That's dumb. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Why do you think I opted out of teaching period? Except homeschooling but I don't really have to do that anymore. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It's a bit more fulfilling than selling essential oils and crystals, but not by much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	astrosearcher 2018-10-24 02:14 am UTC (link)
	So not fulfilling at all? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Considering there are some students who still can't tell the difference between the circulatory and nervous systems? Yes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Wow. (Reply to this) (Parent)

I've only been here a short while, and I've been teaching an even shorter while, but I've already discovered that some students are brilliant and some of them are just a special kind of special.

And considering I teach subjects that are anything but easy, one would think that my classes wouldn't be burdened with an overabundance of the latter. Some days you'd be quite wrong.

	I take it a "special kind of special" is a scientific term? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No, just an attempt at being polite about it that I borrowed from a... former friend. I'm not overall good at it otherwise. I've had some mind-bogglingly unbelievable questions asked. As in, I can't believe someone's made it to college and actually asked them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's astounding the sort that is out there. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Some of us aren't useless, though. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	eldritch_magic 2018-10-24 08:59 pm UTC (link)
	Thankfully, no. There are some students willing to learn, which saves my sanity. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bamfing 2018-10-25 10:18 pm UTC (link)
	I do enjoy learning, for the most part. What do you teach? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eldritch_magic 2018-10-26 04:59 am UTC (link)
	Anatomy and Biology. Easy subjects in my opinion. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I like science classes. They're interesting. Do you know anything about mutants, science-wise? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eldritch_magic 2018-10-28 12:28 am UTC (link)
	Unfortunately, my expertise lies only with humans. Though I assume most mutants have similar anatomical structures. If not, most differences lie on a molecular level. I'm sure I could figure my way around one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ah. Well that's okay, I was merely curious. (Reply to this) (Parent)
