California State law on Education Specifically Part 27 on Pupils (Chapter Two: COMPULSORY EDUCATION LAW) Her students from what I recall wer doing just enough to not be considered truant, and not disruptive enough to warrent legal action, or prehaps just not enough that the school didn't want to have to go through with it or go round and around with their parents, who think their child is just "fine". The bottom line for the schools and distructs is that they get State and Federal money based on how many studunts are in class. Attendance is manditory for the dollars.

Also, part time students will suffer because of project work. Assessments and quizzes are a good take though; less stressful.

They should train him rather than punish him. Certain jobs require such mental states and there should be a role for people like that Quote:
Honestly, everyone knows you learn more on the job than in school anyway. The whole "get a toilet paper to secure your career" is just a big pantomime Quote:
An individual project more closely resembling what one would encounter in such a line would be of more practical benefit if you ask me. It's not perfect or completely free of arbitrariness but it's better than standardized exams

Although I am an agnostic, I think this case shows it is about time we levy heavier penalties on the MHRA. Just because you believe in a magic man doesn't mean others are not allowed to criticise it. Also, something seriously needs to be done about the sycophantic behaviour of some the political members and supporters. Quote:

It was never particularly high to begin with but now my faith in the English electorate is completely destroyed. XP
Tories set for electoral win.

Frankly, I have little sympathy for people who complain that exams are a poor measure of intelligence because they're so smart but have poor grades. Which is like 90% of people complaining about exams. I have a little more for those who have good grades but feel (rightfully) it doesn't measure their readiness for the "real world". That is worth thinking about. But my problem with projects is that it's easy to cut so many corners, and that grading them is a lot more arbitrary than exams (which are already imperfect in that regard). Yeah, but the essay shouldn't be worth all the points. And at least with a small number of essay topics, it's easy to provide official guidelines for marking. |

As bell curves shift more time is required to maintain grades, at the expense of social ability. So which is more important in life? You do have a point in what you write. However I think the problem is with the system.

What I see the real issue as is the investment of time. The well-off who had their finances taken care off through life tend to do better in life as they can spare that time to learn some streetsmart and social skills. However, the bottom feeders are not that well-off; regardless of how well they do in their grades, they hit a roadblock when their career demands more from their heart than their brains (as soon as they are tasked to leadership roles). Given that many people are average across the board, and they invest their time to open doors into the working world, how many of them can actually climb, or even retain, their job in today's competitive environment? Must be the nuts she ate.

I've had about 5/7 jobs never longer than two years. although I was living in one of the towns with the highest (youth) unemployment rates in Australia for about 15 years. The market fucking sucked donkey balls and was incredibly depressing. My big downfall was that from 2003 to about 2008 I was in a revolving door relationship with a hospital due to Crohn's disease, spending months at a time in hospital. It's made things really difficult for me, since my resume is fairly blank during that time and I'm always so damn tired because of the Crohn's. So, people look at me and go 'nope'. I'll probably end up going back into aged care despite preferring to do something with computers (aged care is equal parts rewarding and depressing), even though I probably shouldn't with my health issues. /vent
