bragging about having an education degree, is like bragging you have an STD. MA and Ph.D get respect. An education degree means you took, what, a child psych. class and a few remedial math classes? Education classes can be take in your sleep.

Nobody has boasted about having an education degree.

Right?


No, because that statement doesn't make sense.


Sure it makes sense. I thought you were educated...

"Teaching credentials" mean "the credentials of a person qualified to be a teacher." That's what you meant, right? I guess "superior teaching credentials" would be things like an MEd.

So, as you tried to infer that you had "superior teaching credentials," you really only have normal teaching credentials and a Bachelor's degree. Not really as special as you tried to make it when you look at it that way, is it?

No, your statement made no sense from the perspective of correct English. Re-read it.

I meant I have superior teaching credentials to the unemployable hagwon jockey.

Can't we drop this? Extremely tedious. Sorry if I offended. Just fun and shenanigans. Laughing
