Comments:
<0> SonOfSpam, even the high performing schools risk loss of fed funds, because they are expected to show 2% increases as well
<1> not universally, of course
<2> rond: In my experence, home schooled kids are, for the most part, poorly adjusted, they have strange gaps in their knowledge, and generally tend to act like little ****s. :P
<0> you can't keep improving 2%, you hit the wall
<3> Linus-... which as I said is also a bad idea.
<1> astro: haha
<4> A Toronto company is marketing a new condo development as the first gay and lesbian condominium in Canada, if not the world. It is the brainchild of The Vivat Group, a "gay owned and operated company," according to president Gordon Davies.
<5> Hmmmm completely different expercience
<4> When 'The Bohemian' is built at 288 King Street East, Davies says it will be a place that celebrates being gay and lesbian. But people do not have to be homo***ual to live there.
<4> I ****ing hate that ****
<6> SonOfSpam I agree, there should be no % requirment... instead the children should be required to repeat until they learn it.
<0> KoBushi, argh!
<4> Gays and Lesbians bitch to high hell about being treated differently then straights
<4> but then they go out of their way to be different
<3> I'm not defending every aspect of NCLB here... just chiming in on the standardized testing bit in general.
<2> Timur: I'm right, aren't I?
<0> ie, repeat til they become competent at bubble tests?
<5> Like I said astro the stats are against you google will help you on that
<1> Kob: problem is, constant upward pressure tends to push kids out merely by being of a certain age
<0> talk about encouraging more drop-outs :(
<1> astro: more so than rond, in my observation/experience.
<6> Timur and that needs to stop
<1> Kob: I agree 100%
<6> TimothyWT schools need t stop allowing someone to p*** a grade just cause they don't want to hold them back
<6> Timur rather*
<2> rond: No need. I won't research it. Too many annoying home school kids I had to deal with, back when I did systems administration on game servers.
<1> in Overbook HS, Phila., only about 15% who start in 9th grade graduate
<1> and that's with the easier standards
<0> KoBushi, i agree generally, but basing it on one test?
<5> Game servers lol
<6> Linus- no, based on al of thier tests, and homework grades too
<2> rond: Absolute little ****s. Wanted to smack every one of em. :P
<5> Astro that sounds just like your rocket research
<0> florida has kids repeating 3rd grade 3x
<0> that's sad
<5> your so stupid sometimes
<0> and most of those kids are doing well grade-wise
<1> rond: that's "you're"
<7> lol
<5> Rocket research with a game
<0> they just don't do standardized testing well
<2> rond: Ah, but its my moments of... non-stupid that pay my bills. ;)
<8> Herzen : ever been near a wonderful looking woman that is a lesbian ?
<6> Linus- it is sad, but the solution isn't to focus on teaching them less just so they can p***; nor is the solution to just let them p*** reguardless
<5> home school research with...a game
<2> rond: Eh. The Fleet Command thing wasn't too bad. Its what the Navy uses at Anapolis, atleast. :P
<1> Linus: a portfolio-based ***essment would be better, but of course that'd require a lot more time, reviewers..and hence, money
<0> kob, that's not how its been implemented though
<4> TimothyWT, Not that I was aware of, have you?
<3> Heh... it's hard to believe that people have problems with standardized testing when it seems so easy to me.
<9> home schooled kids tend to be sheltered, overly reliigious, etc.
<4> Most of the lesbian/bi girls I know are just ****ing sluts
<3> It's hard to see that point of view.
<0> Timur, and subjectivity
<4> Especially bi
<9> they dont necessarily have gaps in knowledge, but their social development is certainly an issue
<4> bi***uality is basically a nice way of saying "I'll sleep with anything that moves"
<3> But if you're talking about florida... WE ALL KNOW florida has a hard time with simple forms... like bALLOTS
<6> lol SonOfSpam
<0> SonOfSpam, the world isn't black n white and kids color outside the lines at times
<3> Must be something in the water.
<0> get over it
<9> in fact the winners of the geography bee and spelling bee (on the national level) were home schooled kids
<10> Hez: No it isnt
<2> rond: The game wasn't particularly part of the dealing with home schooled kids. They happend to make up the vast majority of the customers, that the place I was contracting for had.
<7> Herzen, I know lesbians that aren't sluts :P
<3> Kids that color outside the lines need to be smacked until they do it right.
<6> SonOfSpam I have no problem with standardized testing... I DO have a problem with narrow standardized TEACHING.
<0> ok
<3> We aren't raising anarchists here.
<7> Herzen, especially ones that are in actual relationships.
<1> Linus: well, there's more subjectivity, but it's also more holistic and hence perhaps more valid than a mere bubble test
<5> Astro *all* game kids and nix kids online are ***holes
<8> Herzen : I've been near one if she didn't like the woman.
<3> We're socializing them.
<3> And society has rules.
<5> thats the truth of the matter
<10> Herz: It means you will consider having *** with either gender, instead of considering it with one
<2> rond: Heh.
<0> Timur, i was only playing devils advocate there
<2> True.
<4> Eh
<7> rond, er, thanks a lot buddy :P
<1> Linus: fair enough. :)
<4> I really get tired of homo***ual antics
<4> **** like the gay pride parade
<2> P_O: You aren't a "Game/Nix Kid".
<4> and this silly apartment block
<7> astrodog_, I'm running Linux beotch!
<9> man
<4> I don't have a need to 'celebrate' the fact that i'm straight
<4> or push it in anybodys face
<9> herzen is captain ignorant i guess
<0> straight pride! the lack of color coalition
<7> Herzen, I don't really care about gay pride.
<4> if you want to be treated as an equal, as normal, don't go out of your way not to be
<2> P_O: #1. You should be running FreeBSD. :P
<7> I agree with you though.
<7> astrodog_, I'll have a FBSD box up somewhere sometime.
<3> :D
<9> Herzen: persecution of minorities is the key here, why have a black history month? why do black people throw it in your face? persecution and gathering as a group to fight it
<4> demanding acceptance and feeling slighted are both parts of the game
<4> It just proceeds from a spoiled "me first" mentality
<1> canibud: maybe because some people advocate slavery and racism, like you have? :)
<0> SonOfSpam, the anxiety ***ociated with all or nothing tests is a bit higher than voting
<6> canibud in order to seperate themselves and to appeal to being eternally victims
<9> herzen you have such a warped view of things
<7> The demanding acceptance thing from most people doesn't bother me cause I accept just about everything.
<9> i haven't advocated slavery and racism
<4> Imagine a spoiled six year old he wants to break things and make a mess but he wants you to tell him how wonderful he is, and woe betide you if you don't
<9> wtf is that
<3> Linus-... anxiety?
<8> canibud : Being a Lesbian isn't like being black.
<3> The paper isn't going to jump up and strangle them for god's sake.
<4> TimothyWT, Considering being a lesbian is a choice
<4> and being black is not
<7> Herzen, what's funny though, is at least gays at my school definitely don't "throw it in your face"
<4> P_O, Good for them
<4> I don't care if you're gay, or lesbian
<4> Thats your choice
<0> trust me, the anxiety pervades the entire school
<4> but, if you go out of your way to be different
<8> Herzen : I am using it as a example.
<4> then bitch about it
<6> I don't think one chooses thier ***ual orientation
<9> KoBushi: gays as a group have experienced serious persecution and it's important to protect their rights as a minority - in fact here at UF we just created a Gay, Lesbian, Bi***ual, and Transgender Affairs Department
<2> Herz: You're aware that... well... every bit of research done on the subject indicates that it is NOT a choice, right? :P
<4> thats your problem
<3> Test anxiety: the anxiety one feels when taking a test in which they don't know the answers.
<9> what you people don't understand is that our founding fathers wanted a pluralistic style, to protect minority groups
<4> astrodog_, attraction to people of the same-*** could be argued isn't a choice
<4> but thats not the same as homo***uality
<9> and the means are in place to do so
<1> Linus: what anxiety?
<6> Herzen ... how is it not the same?
<4> homo***uality is the actual act of ***ual intercourse with someone of the same ***
<11> i got your gay department right here baby
<7> astrodog_, his rhetoric doesn't rely on homo***uality being a choice so far as I can tell.
<5> Gay may or not be a choice but advertising it damn sure is
<9> herzen is trying to justify his own feelings :-/
<7> Herzen, no, homo***uality is wanting to have ***/romance with someone of the same ***.
<0> he's on the slippery slope
<7> You can be homo***ual without ever having done anything.
<9> rond - being persecuted isn't - i know that
<0> ding
<5> Canibud you don't know much
<4> P_O, I disagree
<5> I know that
<9> P_O; the proper terminology here is "non-platonic" relations
<6> Herzen ... s, someon who is a virgin is niether hedero***al nor homo***ual?
