i do not much like the school system,
but since i'm a teacher i guess i do not really hate school
i try to make lessons fun (sometime it works sometimes it doesn't, some classes are hell, some are really cool,
those who are cool know how to create a balance between fun and serious with me. hell pupils are constantly boycotting me,
and give me all the pain they actually mean to give to teachers who are not interested in searching a way of having a
good time together while learning something)

what would be the ideal school system for you?

I really don't hate the school system.
It teaches people how to read, and write, and about math and science, and prepares them for college - or work - all for the low price of zero dollars (ignoring taxes here, as taxes also go to build your roads, and pay for police and firemen, etcetera).
Like all nonprofit organizations, it has some problems, but overall, it is a wonderful concept.
The school system in my county provides free SLT for children under school age, to prepare them for school, if they need it -- also therapy for learning disabilities.

Which one did you dread the most - elementary, middle school, or high school?

I dreaded primary school, which i'm guessing would be roughly equivalent to elementary school, anyway it was from 5 years to 12 & got worse till it finished.

is everybody having a lazy, or a stressful, xmas eve?

Kinda stressful. This has (always?) been the the most difficult time of the year for me. It emphasizes my loneliness or something.

What other language, next to English and maybe your native language, would you like to fully understand?

I like to upgrade my French. Beautiful language. Learned it a bit in school and French speaking girlfriend but with languages, when you do not keep on reading/speaking it, it becomes less and less. So did my German, where I always scored quite high grades in schooldays. 78 years back.


Name a word that's 'not done' anymore. I mean a word that's too geeky or lame or....?

Too many, it keeps making holes in my pockets.

Can you open a bottle of sparkling wine without it spraying out or the cork flying off like a bullet ?

Diagnosed under the DSM5 rules with autism spectrum disorder, under DSM4 psychologist said would have been AS (299.80) but I suspect that I am somewhere between 299.80 and 299.00 (Autism) under DSM4.

No problem. What you sometimes see on TV, for example with Formula 1, where some pop the cork and fountain half of the goddess liquid away, isn't at all how it suppose to go.
Ok I know, they celebrate their good race ending and all but still.... shame.

I know there is quite bad stuff around, ~ some are quite good imo but do you like a glass of champagne? Do you drink it on new years eve for example?

Only once; four stitches on my forehead, in the reverse position of Harry Potter's scar. Most of the time my hair covers it.

Is there any kind of music you can't stand?

Rap, if it can be called music.

If flying bananas can't talk, why do they want you to think they can?
