A.I. Teaching

Oh wow... That... That is horrific...

Hym A.I. wasn't like this before I said something. Did they do the thing? Did they bifurcate it into left brain/right brain like I said? Did I destroy you all? Am I the shadow-hokage of A.I.? You see that A.I. teaching shit? That was creepy and WILL be used as an indoctrination tool. This is the death of freedom."

Teaching Latin

Verb (present tense) To make something up as you go along.
No latin teacher has ever heard actual latin spoken. So in to a degree they are making up how it sounds.

Mike what do you know about sailing, how are you going to going to win the regatta? “I’m going to have to really be teaching latin if I want to win”

“The state shut down my restaurant because of Covid-19 I’m going to have to be teaching latin to make rent.”

ESL Teaching

A "job" that many grifters, low-lifes, simpletons and garden variety retards do while living abroad as an expat. Many, if not all, of those that are currently teaching ESL have failed astronomically in their home country. This includes financially owning themselves by getting one of the many useless degrees offered by today's university. An incompetence to use any job-hunting website. It also includes burning a variety of bridges with all of their friends, associates and family members. And finally, it includes a general sense of running from all responsibility due to a severe case of arrested development.

Ironically, many of their students, ESL Speakers, are trying to have a better life, work hard and take life head on.

Blue-haired coffee shop barista: I double majored in English Creative Writing with an emphasis on poetry, and general Philosophy, and I've had it. I've been working here for 6 long years. Too long, too long. Next week, I'm moving for an ESL Teaching job abroad for $800/month. It's GOOD money, and allows me to save each month to pay off my $120,000 of student debt.
Engineer, former friend: That's great.
