No staying power that's your trouble, ever considered being a teacher for a living?
The hours aren't great you don't have time to recover from driving to work before you have to head for home again but what the hey, it's not like you have to do anything in between, according to the papers they make the exams easier each year to compensate for your lack of interest.

You seem too intelligent to be a teacher. What went wrong?

Those than can, do.

Those that can't, teach.

(I'm a professor, by the way.)

And those who can't teach, teach others how to teach.

That is a very good explanation for our current low standards.

'Students will not be allowed to enter teacher training in England if they fail basic numeracy and literacy tests three times, under tougher rules to raise teaching standards.'

'At present students are allowed to take unlimited re-sits while they train.'

'The Department for Education said one in 10 trainees takes the numeracy test more than three times, while the figure is one in 14 for the literacy test.'

BBC News - Literacy and numeracy tests toughened for new teachers

'The National Union of Teachers said it considered the tests "superfluous".'

No, a Professor of Crochet Art, still has one 'f', and a double 's', even t'otherside of the pond.

A place not unknown to change spellings, to make them easier, Your Honor.

Whoops...Your Honour.

Ok ... but I'm still having problems with "desert" and "dessert"

Which one do you eat, and which one do you invade?

Maybe the new teacher on the block can help out ...
