Oh, not to worry...., I kid - mainly because I know that pay is always a sore spot with teachers.
Teachers put in a ton of unpaid overtime for everything from sports, extra-curricular and even time at home marking.
Since this was a parody video, I assumed the sarcasm was implied

Hold it, Teachers make $800 a week? - I had no idea it was so much.
Time to re-think that pay scale.....

@Sagemind
I hope you're joking, first of all. Why do I hope that? Because teachers should be paid abundantly more for the work we put in. It's a hard job. If you want more specific, detailed, cited reasons why it's a hard job, I hashed a lot of that out on an old post here.
If you're too busy to pine over all of that information though, I think Donald Quinn nailed it on the head with this:
"If a doctor, lawyer, or dentist had 40 people in his office at one time, all of whom had different needs, and some of whom didn't want to be there and were causing trouble, and the doctor, lawyer, or dentist, without assistance, had to treat them all with professional excellence for nine months, then he might have some conception of the classroom teacher's job." ~Quinn
Finally, no, I've got 5 years of experience and make about $950 every 2 (that's two) weeks.



actually i believe most schools pay their teachers more if they're in charge of extra-curriculars. the highest payed teacher at my high school was a one of the gym teachers because he was in charge of so many clubs on the side.

Wow, i hear that the roles are financially under appreciated, but surprised to hear it can be that low.

On behalf of all those (in any country) that actually listen with a curiosity and/or focused interest and quite appreciation, who also retain the information's teachers of all types provide, thank you (and all teachers) for putting in the time and effort to expand our horizons.
..and on behalf of those who screwed around too much and should have listened and appreciated the opportunity more when we were younger, who also later realized this wasted benefit.. dam it.

Why are people surprised about this? A country that could come up with something like the Mach 5, A Mech for Spiderman, Godzilla, Pokemon, Tentacle Hentai, Vans and trucks with enough lights to make the Vegas strip look dull and the Lap Pillow. This is by far one of the tamest things they have. If any civilization in the universe could take all the weirdness and bazaar shit they ever created or found and concentrated it in one spot it would still never match Japan.


Ya... North American car trends are COMPLETELY normal.

I dunno, I upvoted because it looks great, and we really need more mech games... But there's really not much to distinguish between the terrain and the mechs. During the combat, all I see is blurry metal buildings and the HUD. The HUD being the only thing you can really target with. Visually it looks great, until you start to move. I would get bored of that honestly.

This would be cool with huge mech suits and missiles.

You know how hard it would be to take notes in that guy's class without having a pause button. I'm always equipped with a straight edge and this guy just whips through lines like it's nothing.

Get away, you don't need it that precise for notes!
