NY’s response to not enough kids passing a test? Make it easier to pass.:cool:

My fellow Eu immigrants told me that their kids aced the A+es and were considered to be highly advanced (2 grades higher as skill level) in their first 2 years after they emigrated.
And those kids were considered to be just average in their native countries.

Nothing to do with intelligence, tho. Because their performances leveled out in time, and in fact those immigrant kids were eventually outperformed by some of their american or australian colleagues.

There's something wrong with the way math and the abstract sciences (literature, philosophy) are approached in the US or some Commonwealth schools. On the other hand, americans excell in the more 'practical, applied' disciplines (like science, biology, and so on).

What in hell is an 'abstract science?'

ab·stract



adjective

adjective: abstract

/abˈstrakt,ˈabˌstrakt/



1. existing in thought or as an idea but not having a physical or concrete existence.

Math is entirely abstract.

Oops… mine didn't sound right.

The other part of the coin being that: While the Eu (continental) school system is really good when it comes to such subjects,
- many fall on their face when it comes to bridging the gap between the world of abstract ideas, and the 'how do we put those in practice?'
Americans are so much better at doing that, like in your former area of work and so many others, I suspect.
 
coming to NY

easier to carry out a victim of a fire who has no head

makes body LIGHTER:cool:
 
High school graduates should be able to pass Algebra I with a 74 or better. Lowering the standard just leads to more college students requiring remedial classes at the college level.
 
No room for actual discussion here? The OP just wants to say CuntClinton or some other derogatory names for left wing candidates and aella tries to engage but fails to address the actual topic presented and rambles on about other observations in education.

Other forums warn that this one is "mean," but it really seems more like a circus.

YOU are the circus, Query.

Your pretense at carrying a normal non-trolling conversation lasted like… 20 minutes?
Couldn't keep yourself from trying to say demeaning things to people or in particular, from mentioning my name again?

How many of your attack trolls focused on me in the last 12 hours? Three.
You're obsessed and sick.

/// End of any of my interactions with this particular alt.

What is there to discuss that hasn't been said

For yrs

What? Your nonsense knows no bounds, little one.

Best wishes on not responding; your track record thus far is abysmal.

Then why start the thread? What is the point? Are you just throwing your words out into a vacuum and hoping no one challenges you or engages you in conversation? That is how it appears to an outsider.
 
^^^^lunatic

Par for the course, then? You have no rational response so you call the other person insane or a lunatic or whatever slur you deign appropriate at the time. This is not an effective method of argument. Are you hoping to effect change? If so, I recommend a college course on discourse (take your fangirl with you as she would benefit, as well).
 
Lmao…
They get increasingly fired up and ramble and spew their guts and venom'n such
while BB posts just one word or one emoji…

I might borrow this strategy for the future, actually.

really? what is there to say?

whatever has been said, has been said, whoever says anything is called RACIST or HATER

what is left to say?

EVERYONE knows this is insane and no one cares, in name of DIVERSITY

If nothing remains to be said, why start a thread on the topic?
 
Quite a disconnect, tho.
- "She" tries to talk 'smart' and to put us 'ignorant plebeians' into our places,
- but one can't help but notice "her" username (ToPleaseHim) and the siggy "Hotlanta Kink Test Score 579 "?
Such a classy liberated, intellectual lady! Makes us femminists so proud!

It all illustrates the fact that, despite his personal attacks and pheasant-like showcase of his "intelligence", This Query didn't think this alt through, to make it credible. And that he is A Dumbass.
