1. I'm not a self-proclaimed genius, you moron. Those evil Mensa people let me in their club because I knew how to flirt really well. Clearly. :eye roll: And these doctors that have been testing me since I was 5 have been saying the same thing. Weird.
Having a high IQ and being a genius are two different things. Yes, MENSA uses the label "clinical genius" based on a certain level of IQ. But real genius, creative genius, is being able to take whatever intelligence and motley talents one may have and being able to create something original with them. If you can't do that then your IQ is no more consequential than your shoe size.
So if those MENSA tests and "doctors" say you're smart etc but you can't do anything with that smartness, what does that say about you?

2. I don't teach elementary school. I teach k-12, every subject (from German to Physics) in the home/hospital program. I also grade the regional, state and national Academic Pentathlon and Decathlon essays. It works for me since I have small children. I have declined a couple of offers and will continue to do so until my son is in school. I need flexibility, and none of the careers I have found myself in would afford me that. The one that did garnered me a potential boss that clearly expected me to sleep with him for advancement. I declined that job as well.
Essay grading is "Patty and Selma grading Homer on the drivers' test". Petty work for petty people who trip over the small power they have. Subjective essays pervade the modern educational system precisely because they're completely irrelevant and devoid of all standards.
I was tutored through home/hospital for nine months by a woman like you. It's an utterly vacuous job where you can sit there and do whatever you want, whenever you want, because you have no external standards to meet. I remember the particular idiot who did HnH with me also styled herself a teacher of sign language and very obviously didn't know anything past the extreme basics. There's a whole class of losers who do this undemanding, non-competitive work then try to pump themselves up as brilliant polymath educators.
Oh, don't take my word for it. Excerpt from a prior post:
Quote:
...Ethan began home instruction with a San Juan Unified School District instructor. She was a nice woman, but a very weak teacher. Ethan returned for sixth grade...
You may think crying sexual harassment makes you sound like a victim. It doesn't. It makes you sound like a loser. Generally speaking, men don't have the opportunity to offer sexual favors as a means of personal advancement, but they compete against women and other men all the same.
If the best excuse you have for failure to advance is unwillingness to offer sex, then it begs the question what, if anything, else you bring to the table.

3. I have never been in a group of any sort with you (certainly not a pug), and of we were, you weren't significant enough for me to notice. So don't flatter yourself. You actually got on my ass first because I have breasts and you have a vendetta against IQ scores because yours likely tells you that you are merely average. And I'm pretty sure I started despising you when you went after me the day Liz killed herself. You can still fuck off for that.
Every word of this is a lie.
I don't know who this supposed Liz is. I had not seen pictures of you or heard you bitch about your IQ until we both started posting on FUBU. Everyone on this board knows that your first interaction with me was through some sort of pug.
And the very fact you try to make an innuendo that you have large boobs proves the hypocrisy of #3. Typical feminist bitch who goes around shaking her ass and demanding shit then cries harassment.

4. Just because you feel the need to lie doesn't mean that others do. The story about the fire was related to me and a group of people BY THE VICTIM. He was talking about losing what meager possessions he had as a kid. But he was probably lying for sympathy, right? I don't lie. You do though. And since you are dishonest you project that suspicion onto everyone else.
"BY THE VICTIM" Oh, this is new and interesting rhetoric. "BY THE VICTIM!" So it was "BY THE VICTIM!", so it must be okay. Got it. Anyone ever seen this feminist argument before?
Calling me dishonest proves you are a liar. Everyone on this board knows I have many faults but everyone also knows that anyone who calls me dishonest is a liar.

My question was poorly worded so when I saw the answer no I took it to me you didn't think that avenue was a good one. Allow me to rephrase. Have you thought of tutoring before? I remember from awhile back you posted some of your test scores (I think they were good). I worked this past year tutoring high school students in basically any school subject as well as things like SAT and ACT. I made good money (I live in an extremely wealthy area of Northern Virginia so the hourly rate here may not work in other areas). For comparison I made 2x as much here as I did when I tutored in Texas while going to school. The job was fun and challenging for me (I had some real lazy students who I had to motivate). It can easily be something you do part-time while you go to school (10-15 hours a week and you can make 2K/month which should help a good deal with living expenses and the like). I used wyzant.com to start out and find clients and then switched them to paying me directly to avoid the cut that wyzant takes.
This may not be as helpful anymore since you said you don't want to go to school in America but I wanted to clarify my previous post since it was short and not well worded.
I see - thank you. How does one get started/establish one's credibility? Just standardized test scores?
