    For the most part they really can't because teaching is all they are qualified for.

    If they were capable of doing something else they wouldn't have become a teacher. As a cohort teachers are the least academically capable group to go to collage. That makes sense though because if they were smart enough to become an engineer or a doctor they'd do that instead of teaching.

    For the most part the life of a teacher is hard because they are individually not all that capable and so are going to have more difficulty in life regardless of what kind of job they have.

    Obviously I'm describing the median teacher and not people who retire from real careers and take up teaching because they want to pass on their knowledge to the next generation.

    Well, he has Banda, but we already saw his ability to drive in modern electronics, and even if he could have access through hiroshi or did it in the middle of the night, it would draw too much attention from the caretakers or from Avalon that someone use the home internet to look up high school or college level information and mei's valuable sleep time could be put at risk if we take her out in the middle of the night to some cyber cafe, although the latter is not impossible.

    Certain types of teachers might be, because it is the only job they have credentials and degrees towards, but that is not all teachers.

    But at the same time, that is a side effect of specialized occupations, you focus on one thing and lose options in others.
    What????
    Do you have any idea how opinionated, idiotic and incorrect that is.

    But it stems from the way to common, and beyond idiotic, misunderstanding that education is a low skill profession. It is not.
    Seriously this is extremely false and illogical.
    No, this is plainly false.

    I have seen plenty of worse business majors and HR professionals then teaching students.

    Heck, when I am from to be a high school teacher, you pretty much needed a degree in education on top of a degree on the area you were going to teach. Every math teacher I had a math degree (one was better at teaching the low level University math then most of the professors at the local university), physics, chemistry, English, etc all had employable degrees in their subjects.
    Lots of people chose professions based on factors other then salary.
    But doctors are at the extreme end of such a comparison.
    Still nothing intelligent in this post. This is nothing more then a bad and 100% illogical reason to hate and put down the profession you do not respect
    No you are not, you are describing what you have used your ignorance and prejudice to convince yourself is a median teacher, not what a median teacher actually is.

    Supply and demand.... There are too many people that want to be teachers. That's why they don't get paid well. They are easily replaceable and many willing replacements to accept that income that some whine about.
    Most teachers I know ( I'm from central NJ aka pure suburbs of NYC... The Jersey Shore) are not the brightest among my former classmates... The area I'm from tended to have among the highest SAT scores in the country. I'm not saying they are idiots, but they are more socially intelligent than full of knowledge....

    They are also mostly weekend warriors. They loved to drink and party hard... ( Btw I have a degree in accounting, but I work in the water industry dealing with chemicals)

    The point of my rant before was that people know what they are getting when they go into a profession.... If you can't work with the projected pay, why would you go into that field.... People take out massive loans for degrees to get jobs that can't help pay back those loans. That is stupidity.

    It's not that hard to look up the average SAT score for graduates of various degree programs so you're perfectly free to go grab some data to prove me wrong, if you're so inclined.

    Well let me ask you this: who's teaching all these 'graduates of various degree programs'? Teachers!

    How is this a 'median' when you're directly stating you're not including all of the teachers you consider properly qualified? That's like stating, "nobody important is from New York, excluding all those who moved away". :blobconfused: No part of that sentence is true. :notlikeblob:

    I had two high school science teachers who were absolutely outstanding. One used to experiment on rats in a lab, while the other was 'just' a teacher. The one who was 'just' a teacher was well respected and famous throughout the district (and beyond). He was one considered one of the best. Meanwhile, the lab rat experiment teacher was very good at teaching college-level science. He was respected by his science colleagues working in the same school as him.

    Having high level experience doesn't translate into being able to teach well or better than everyone else, that's not how teaching works. I feel like this should be obvious, but if someone is teaching micro biology... they probably know how to teach micro biology. (Or they've been forcefully assigned to that class because the school district doesn't want to hire someone. That unfortunately happens, but you need to speak up against it if it does.)

    I can't wait for the Chaos Monkey Trials in the Empire.

    This monkey couldn't have evolved because of Vida, that is blasphemy!
    Alda would never permit such a thing!

    (Obviously a shitty comparison on my part because Vida is life goddess and no one is denying Vida existed, but whatever.)

    O.T.
    Teacher is very important job. Now it is much better, but lets take 10-20 years back. You could get good item made in Europe by professional, but it was expensive (it is made by professional). So, you buy item made in China. It looks OK, but just looks OK. Most likely it is not good as made in Europe. Because China makes items cheap and fast, not caring about quality. And it may be acceptable for items who are replaceable fast, but can the same be used for teaching kids? Are kids replaceable? They soon will be adults and starts to teach others, but if they themself had not learned anything at school? Can they teach other?
    People wants professional quality but cheaply. And this apply to all things, teaching included. Government say: Teach this kids good, but we will not pay you well. So, in teaching only goes who likes teaching, or who can't get any good job. Because government don't care who they hire, they just care to pay less and less, they hire anyone and anything as teacher.
    But good teaching is hard and demands a lot of teaching skills.

    Also, once again we're reminded of Bellwood's horrible legacy.

    we all know the end game is a showdown with the alda aligned great gods. But, realistically this is just 1 continent on this planet. This story could theoretically span over thousands of chapters if paced correctly. And honestly i would enjoy reading about the mundane life stories in this world. Imagine Van is succeeded as emperor and basically travels around the world. We know he will eventually go to the other side of the planet to wake up the slumbering goddess.

    Back in chapter 178 Selen was left in the care of an adventurer named Bellbotro but now in this chapter he's called Rembrand. Did the author forget the character name or did he change his mind?

    A lot has happened in ~250 chapters. 2000+ chapters would be a doozy. Nice 25 year project for the author.

    there is a timeline, but that was 100 chapters ago, it serves for past data, but not much for the events after zakkart's trial.
    the problem is that to squeeze that would need a new scale of power or a new civilization that acts as an ally or antagonist at the same level as Talosheim, which is not impossible, but difficult, because we already know who the key players are and even if you add a new one, would not surpass the previous gurudanis.

    there is also transparency, there is no kind of emeninence of the shadows, from our perspective, we know the agenda of all the factions with the exception of individual members, and even so, there is none capable of changing the dynamics of power to their liking .

    at most sequels, such as a change of genre in which Van will have to face new threats, whether due to the need to go beyond Lambda or the invasion of a new threat or spin off, based on schneider or randolph or even from the Champions.

    A slice of life would be interesting, to see the interactions outside the camera, which are the moments of no action of Van where he interacts with his group and the citizens.

    And the most difficult, would be a story with Van's children, because as you pose a threat to them, when their father did everything possible to make this world safe for them, he is too overprothetic and you cannot get away with the easy letter fight for the throne, because they were raised better than that and Vandeliu is not going to die anytime soon (if he does).

    maybe also see some of the other worlds.
