    This isn't really much of a surprise. I remember way back, the case of that guy who faked his way through an extended Hospital career as a Doctor...

    It serves to make me wonder what other college degrees have been faked.

    Answer: Every one, except for the useless ones... Nobody has ever faked a Ph.D. in fly-fishing, for instance...

    Worst and most incorrect expression in the history of mankind.

    It doesn't necessarily apply to school teaching all the time. :p
    I don't know. I'm physically unable to do a lot of what used to be so easy in my profession . If I could afford one, I'd take on an apprentice
    and teach them the biz, have them do the tough stuff.

    Not the same though. You CAN do those things, however the cost/benefit of the pain means you don't.

    It's still a horribly offensive phrase for teachers much a kin to all "all cops are pigs" that labels the lot based on some bad apples.

    People that get butt-hurt over anything, will get butt-hurt over anything. :cool:
    It's those few bad apples that people remember, not the 99.99% that do actually good work.
    It's just like people to forget the 9999 times they get a compliment but obsess over one criticism.
