I'm having trouble understanding other posters negative reaction to
the instructor's original article. It's a naive fantasy to expect
that everybody loves their job all the time, and that students are
always bundles of fun.

It's just an instructor having bitching about her students. Doesn't
everybody bitch about their jobs now and then?

I'm speaking as a parent who puts my child in ski school, and I'd
have no qualms about having her taught by the writer of the article.
She sounds like she's got a pretty healthy attitude if you ask me.


Yeah, I can't see what the fuss is all about. So she wrote a jokey

article,
and she sometimes doesn't like her job. And?



Interesting vibe coming out of these posts - it would seem, and again
difficult to judge because I'm only guessing from the various names /
organisations / sigs that there seems to be a definite split between those
that find it satire / amusing (me included) and those that don't - pretty
obvious so far - then attempt to apply some form of geographic

demographics
to it and my conclusion, which is probably wrong - is that our N American
descendents do not find it any where near as amusing as non US citizens -

is
that becasue it happened in the US or is it more......... we (non US)

don't
take ourselves too seriously and as yet ( though it's coming) we're not to
dragged down by PC attitudes......oh well I won't get my VISA to the US
now.......


People here (US) are so politically correct it makes me sick. They're for
free speech as long as it agrees with them. They're against pollution unless
it's from a baby. They want to conserve recources as long as it's not a
recource they need or want.

Total bull****.
