"It seems to me that the coddling don't-hurt-their-self-esteem attitude that is churning out kids that have screwed up expectations, inadequate educations, and a distorted view of their own competence is a product of a subset of liberal thinkers." well, you are wrong, but keep letting the media dictate your views for you.
Ah, the issues is you have no idea how to move int he corporate environment. I used to think like you, until someone taught me a very important lesson: "If your boss puts value on tokens they give out, bring the tokens to your review." "Be sure when you want to move to a new position, when talking to some who values tokens, how many tokens you have." Sure, a Thank you written on a 100 dollar bill would be better.. but you play with what you got.
I ave a great boss now, and he asked me if I like getting awards? I said "Only if you or your bosses actual put value on them"
But if the teacher implemented gamification,l the A's and B's would work with the 'F's to improve that whole group. Humiliation does not work, and never has.
Depends on implementation. It can pit employees against each other; but it can also improve the group. If you turn it into 'Get the most of X', then it's broken at the beginning.
Example: Sales.
Don't give the person who gets the mos sale a gold star. It will always be the same few people, and it will crush moral.
Give everyone a gold star if the worse sales person increases their sales. Now you have the best people trying to figure out how to make the worse sales person better. Reward everyone when everyone improves.
I could explain what there isn't actually a problem with the temperature reading, but I"m not sure you would understand it, so I'll say this:
It doesn't matter because it's + or - and we see a constant rising, If the error bars were a problem and we didn't have global warming we would see the normal rise and fall + or - a degree.
" Is that outside the norm? Hell, we don't even know if it's outside the margin of error." That's just wrong. Like every denier, you are 40 yeas behind in the science.
The large percentage of bias isn't nudged. It isn't even conscious. It's a long time know property of research, and it's why several studies should be done.
You're hammed analogy is nonsensical in this context.
Private companies have a shit ton of marketing and PR. 90% of all projects in large companies fail. 10% succeed. The marketing never mentions the failure.
In the government, 90% of all project are successfully, 10% fail. Because the PR(news media) only focuses on the negative, the success don't get talked about.
There quality kept dropping,l and ther stoped doing interesting and relevant thiings.
They need to commit to something new and just run like hell with it. Going into 'course based education' was a mistake.
Kits I would have included:
Network Card. Firmware written but not compiled. Include compiler. TV Card - Same Computer case kit. Where you can built a smart sound and flashing led system Universal remote. Several Adrino kits.
Kill your TV. If you can't keep it off and force them to be bored, then you should unplug it except for rare movies for interesting science. The easist for me to get my son to be building with electronics was model rail road. N-gauge Kato.
Playing online games can be mentally enriching, depending on the game.
My son builds great things with minecraft, and quickly ripped out a simple yet cool portal 2 map.
Oh, and to be clear, we have TV and satellite. But my kids don't need much direction to go do something else. This MAY be because we didn't have TV for quite some time.
This summer, we're build a TF2 Sentry. One the works and shoots paintballs.

Thank you. That's the issue.
When you break it down to the actual facts, Fox is far worse then MSNBC.
Don't assume equal weight on each side of the scale.
It's the lack of money. Kill Prop 13 and CA can start being a leader again.

Shit, I got adequate pay and dreary work.
In truth, the most interesting projects have always paid the most.
False, but hey, people like you don't needs to actually understand what people are talking about before chiming in.
Just because most people here are clueless about business:
"short-term but achievable goals, "
Are steps in a bigger long term plan.
Like when you sit down to do your annual planning. You want to accomplish X in 12 months. You set many small achievable goals the get you to X.
If you aren't doing annual planning, You should try it for 5 years. You would be surprised how it will turn your life around.

Giving gold stars is not gamification.
Gamification helps everyone in the classroom.
But if the teacher implemented gamification,l the A's and B's would work with the 'F's to improve that whole group.

Yes, yes, you are above everyone else in the world. You are a special snow flake that doesn't need recognition.
To relate gamification to 'gold stars' is ignorant.
But,as I said, you are 'special'.
Wrong. Internet gaming arose in spite of the Gaming industry, who latter got behind it. DRM was after that.
Yes, No one in Europe or Asia ever used force to get their way.
I mean, really? Come on.

I think that's a classic keyhole problem.

90% of all projects in large companies fail. 10% succeed. The marketing never mentions the failure.

This is the same thing.

You are comparing a know byproduct of science with raping children?
You're an idiot,.
It's know effect and why repeated testing is an important part of science.
The problem is the media keeps reporting single studies as if they're an answer, or written in stone.
The Mayans are still around. Sheesh.

That is a failure of your mind, not your body.
Get some will power
" My mind also does not want to turn off until between 12:00am to 2:00am."
That because of your sleep schedule, and possible health issues.
