True, yeah.

no, Q, I don't
but what you said is not the same as what he said, now is it?
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Tue 24 Jul 2012, 9:50, Reply)

he said maths is easy in code and then gave an example of the maths he finds easy in his coding
he did not say 'I DO ALL OF THE MATHS AND FIND ALL OF IT EASY' at any point.

Its not wonder our universities are going to shit with people like you working there

i think you should, this thread is a perfect example of how teachers like you are letting the system down

I'm not a teacher.
I don't even really lecture that much, I'm mostly research.

"research" is clever people speak for
"fuck about on google all day"

Yeah', but its not a real job with deadlines and shit.
Cancer would be cured YEARS ago, possibly on a spaceship, if you had performance reviews and deadlines that mattered.

haha, yeah right.
Deadlines in academia are if anything more brutal than in industry, because it's someone elses money you're justifying spending.

It's always someone else's money, the clients or the govs....
Pull the other one. Michelin star restaurants to sweet talk into a contract that would make millionaires out of everyone if the PROFIT was shared out.

No, I'm paid to bring in research funding
therefore I spend more time doing research than teaching.

I mean, obviously, Gove does have a lot to answer for, but my laziness isn't down to him.

Whats the difference between a university and a school anyway?

( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Tue 24 Jul 2012, 9:59, Reply)

I think you know the answer to that, PP.

One is for older people?

( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Tue 24 Jul 2012, 10:16, Reply)

University qualifications are more specialist and more difficult than school qualifications
(in geneneral, I mean you could be doing War Studies at Kings, most 5 year olds I know could piss that).

Universities are also places of research as well as teaching.

Age doesn't specifically come into it, but you need teh equivalent of school qualifications to get into University.
