It's a derisive takeoff on the old phrase "Those who can't do, teach."  Which I find much more accurate.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

10. Fail. It's about bashing teachers, which isn't funny in NY either.

I only bash public school teachers. Charter school educators are the future.

12. No, it's not about bashing teachers. It's about being funny.
   
Humor is pain. It's a Jewish thang, you wouldn't understand.

Woody probably has more teachers in his family than you can imagine.

It's a STYLE of humor that doesn't translate well to the Bible Belt, I'm serious,

For which P2B lies to prove a point.

This regional bashing on DU is repulsive.

She's very defensive about that.  Must be more than a hint of truth to it. I wonder what p2blib failed at before settling for becoming a teacher?

I've got a neighbor in my apartment building that teaches second grade.  I know that she puts everything she can into her profession, as co-workers of hers have told me that she does.  (Plus, she's a good person, and she's easy to look at.  :naughty: )

Those who cannot, forget to put a comma in the proper position. The pin looks like it's missing the main verb.


Those who cannot pass laws about teaching should learn about the rules of English grammar.

What's the rest of the sentence?

Sorry. But if they're going to act like educators, I'd hope for proper grammar, at least.

I know what the button intends to say; however, to me it actually appears to be saying that people who are able are teachers for another group of folks. The group of folks being taught are not able to pass laws about teaching.

Ain't is not a word. (I got a big Websters unabridged dictionary thrown at me when I looked up "ain't" in Websters one day, back when I was in my teens, and pointed out to her that it was in Webster's. It was always Websters. If it wasn't in there, then it was not a word. That book hurt too! Left a big bruise on my behind.  :-) )
Don't EVER ask her if she can do something if you want the task completed. She will respond in the affirmative and leave it at that. When it doesn't get completed, and you ask her about why it wasn't completed, she will very properly inform you that you never asked her if she WOULD do it, you asked her if she "can" do it. 

I send her an email and it comes back corrected in red.
