I think your hiding behind that. I know people far mroe handicapped than you are by mental problems that have found jobs. There are completely retarded adults, who have 9 year old minds, who function as stockers at grocery stores. It can happen if you try.

Don't use this as a shield behind which you can hide.  Go out and do something!  You can do it, I have no doubts about that.

i maybe an adult but i have something that nobody here understands or think i'm just saying it as an excuse when all i'm doing is twlling the truth, which is i have a mental problem called "Aspurger Syndrome"

RBW your saying i'm using it as an excuse when i'm tellin the truth
don't tell me to get a job if your gonna say i'm using it as an excuse

@ andy:sorry if I come off a bit harsh but problem is you are you need to grow up and quit being scared of new things I think you'd be great at a job

(don't yell I quit the first day and don't yell at customers for being "mean" )

Rats! Does that mean I can't yell at my students for being mean?  

Meh, you're the teacher. Rap their knuckles if you have to.

lol... in reality, I suppose a tongue lashing is the best you can do anymore.

Nope. I can't even use red ink to grade tests because it may hurt someone's feelings to see all that RED.  

That's pretty crazy. I guess my math teacher graded my tests in all red, so even good comments were in red. I don't think words can communicate how scared I was when I got my first test back.

Well... to compare it with something else, I was more scared then than after I got my first physics test back. I got a 39.5 out of 40, but I thought that 39.5 was my percentage score.

Anyway, my new math teacher grades with green pen. I have to really try to find his comments amid my calc III problems.

Anyway, if you use any color pen to grade couldn't someone's feelings be hurt if they see a lot of the color? Soon you'll have to grade in... permanenet pencil... yeah, that'd be the only thing that wouldn't hurt somebody's feelings.

Rules these days... I thought the point of school was to hurt their feelings and destroy their ideals, all of this is REDefining the purpose of school! I think we should REDeploy the original tactics that convinced people of that purpose in the first place; as I feel that will be much easier than to REDact some new guide lines. Those may be the only things that can possibly REDeem school. I feel a 70's era REDux reviving itself!

Although not being able to write in RED is silly. I suggest you tell all of your students to hand write their next paper in <insert very obscure color that 99% of people won't be able to find> because other colors make you sad, just to see if someone actually tries

Speaking of RED, there are a lot of tournament hosts online at this moment. 

of course i go to TN tournaments but not often cause some TN tournaments are just closed locals

I go to locals. I drive two hours every month for Bryon's locals. That's why I can vouch for California. But I see prof's point. You can't not go to any lower-level tournies and then want to have natz. It just doesn't work that way.

well i'v noticed for the past few years i'v missed awesome/hilarious nationals
one nats with cheerleaders,one nats with tim maly getting a mohawk and in the same tourney people sing a rendition of "We will rock you" and again in the same tournament, "The Kiss" happened to kevin shride and nats 08 there was a marriage proposal.
if you were me you'd understand and be just as irritated as i am.
i'd go to nationals but it depends on the fee and the city and state that'll host it.

thanks for ignoring everything I said. We ALL want to go to natz, and we ALL missed those exact same thing. My point is that if you don't even go to the small tournies, why should you be able to vouch for the big one?

Me either ;-)

You both have decent points, but like ninja said, your just making teh same points that he oculd make for CA.
