<0> oops
<0> here is another reason we have education problems
<0> LOS ANGELESIn an effort to motivate Americans to go to the polls on Nov. 2, a coalition of irrelevant pop stars is winding up a 36-city tour that will culminate in a concert on Oct. 11 in Washington, D.C
<1> Timur: When most children are qualified, affirmative action is moot.
<2> public education (prior to college) is already an obscene joke. Equal oportunity exists in the world of public education in california.
<0> theonion
<2> IE, there are no oportunities
<2> :)
<2> it's not really afirmative action I see as a cause, I see retarded politics
<2> such as the no child left behind act
<3> Yaakov: a lot only get to be qualified (measurably) by having their educational opportunities improved.
<3> suna: indeed
<2> no child left behind would be an EXCELLENT idea...in world where everyone was perfect
<2> :)
<4> suna: Actually
<0> it would be a good idea if congress caerd to fund it
<4> Since you have to show improvement....
<4> IT would be TERRIBLE if everyone was perfect.
<3> the best part of NCLB is how everyone is supposed to achieve 100% by 2014
<4> What you want, is everyone to be utter ****.
<4> :P
<1> Timur: Equal opportunity isn't in hiring, its in preparation. If you have to hire according to race or gneder then one of two things is true: the are racial and/or gender differences that make people more or less qualified, or they were not educated properly.
<2> that's not really what i meant by perfect, but yes. indeed:)
<1> I believe that education needs remediation.
<2> the result of no child left behind is the following: kids who can't speak english and barley do arithmatic are put in algebra 2
<2> to look good
<2> so the state is happy
<3> right
<2> & I end up tutoring 12th graders who can't multiply fractions
<5> Hey peepz.
<3> 'we're making AYP!'
<4> suna: In their defense... multiplying fractions is silly. All math should be decimal math!
<3> what should I have for dinner.. hmm
<2> a 9th grader is suppose to be able to concour y = mx + b, but in california a 12th grader thinks you're the smartest man alive if you understand it
<2> it's a ****ing joke
<4> Uh?
<1> Astrodog_: You can test out of fractions... just write out the decimal equivalent of 1/3 for me.
<4> That's like 7th or maybe 8th grade stuff, suna.
<2> astrodog: in good states, i'm sure it is:)
<4> Yaakov: How many bits do I have to represent it?
<2> it's algebra 1 material, not pre alg
<2> i guess you're right, algebra 1 is 8th grade cl*** for the smart kids
<0> I took algebra 1 in 6th grade
<4> suna: Eh. I'd put y = mx + b as pre alg, personally.
<6> .222
<0> iin a program called probe
<1> Astrodog_: It isn't a question of bits, just represent the ratio for me, decimally. I will give you as much paper as you need.
<2> astro: why? it's algebra.
<2> :)
<2> i mean don't get me wrong
<0> it was for the "gifted" students
<2> I think a 7th grader should be able to learn it
<2> no problem
<0> we aren't all ****ing morons
<4> Yaakov: It IS a question of bits, though. :)
<2> but I would still call it algebra. I say 7th graders should learn algebra.
<2> and they all can
<2> if they arn't taught by retards
<4> If it can't be represented in bits, its useless. ;)
<7> 7th grader shoudl be able to recite the 1st few logrythm tables from emory
<7> memory
<0> haha
<2> anyway, I'm not joking about tutoring seniors who can't multipy fractions but somehow p***ed algerbra 2. This state is pathetic, makes me wanna poop on it.
<7> I had to
<4> suna: Well
<4> Go out in your yard... and enjoy.
<4> Poop on the state.
<7> but then, in my house, punishment for un-clear speech was to sit on stool in middle of room reciting a tongue twister till I got it right
<4> Making you sit on a stool... that's so cruel.
<4> :(
<8> pilgrim: Today that will get your kids a free trip to a foster home
<4> Brak: No it wouldn't.
<7> Theopholus Thistler, the successful thistle sigfter, siffted a sea full of thistles through the thick of his thumb. say it just twice
<9> suna, don't poop on the entire state
<4> Unless you tied them to the stool, and beat them while they recited the tongue twister.
<0> sigh
<9> suna, that would require a haz-mat response
<7> successful thristle sifter that is
<4> pilg: That's not very hard...
<7> in teh 3rd Indy Jones film where Indy as a kid is made to count to 10...in Greek. soudned like my house
<9> pilgrim`, lots of "s" and "th" blends in that one. Did you have a frontal lisp when you were a kid?
<4> 'Hahaha.
<0> At least our present represents our people right?
<0> heh
<2> eh?
<0> president
<7> Katey that oen is usually quite difficult unless the speaker os Germanic
<0> hahahahja
<2> lol
<6> you are you're kids sentence
<1> Astrodog_: The world isn't based on word length. That's why fractions are important. Heck, IEEE floats are a joke, almost useless.
<2> fine fine
<2> i'll just poop on public education
<6> don't expect irc ppl to give a ****
<1> Hello, Katey-.
<2> :)
<2> janitors are use to cleaning poop flung on the walls anyway
<2> ;p
<9> pilgrim`, which languages, other than English, use the "th" blend?
<9> hi Yaakov
<3> Arabic
<3> that's it, afaik
<10> Pentagon to develop remote-controlled sharks: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4767428.stm
<1> Katey-: Some dialects of Hebrew use it.
<0> cooool
<0> sharls
<4> Pickle: Dr. Evil Defense Contractors making that one?
<1> Hello, Pickle.
<10> Heya Yaakov :)
<4> Remote control sharks, with lazer beams on their heads?
<3> Hebrew and Arabic.. the Yamani and Mizrahi I think and Marokait
<0> Oh yeah
<7> >you decide. this http://tinyurl.com/lwhwa is me singing.
<0> Hillary
<8> Pickle: NO!!!! The electronics will scramble the dolphin brains!!!
<9> the 'th' blend tends to vex lots of romance language speakers, I've noticed
<1> Pickle: Lawyers with Blackberrys?
<10> Yaakov: Heh, good analogy!
<9> So no other germanic languages use it?
<9> that's pretty weird
<7> here is one: how many use the TL besides Quichua (quiche`) and Nuatl
<4> Atlanta.
<1> Katey-: The British often use it instead of "s".
<3> Pilg: hm.. Mayan
<3> ?
<0> the Atlanta dialect?
<3> Aztlan
<7> Quiche= Mayan
<6> chefs are good at foreign languages
<3> oh
<4> pilg: As far as the germanic thing....
<9> pilgrim`, the TL seems to be dead. Isn't it something from South and central American languages?
<3> Quechua, iddnit
<7> Nuatl is the parent language of Miztec Aztec Zapotec etc
<4> Zapotec?
<4> That's a language?
<9> Are those languages still spoken?
<7> Ouaxaca valley
<7> yes
<9> Ah. interesting
<7> Zapotec is spoken around Tula
<4> By pilgrim.
<5> So how about them caricatures? The Danes! Maaaan!
<1> You can't fool me, pilgrim`, Zapotec is a Windows wallpaper!
<9> I figured all those old South Amercan and Central American languages were dead by now
<7> Katey no
<7> WRITTEN yes but not spoken
<0> that was fun
<9> pilgrim`, rural people still speak them?
