It is not uncommon in Texas for small, rural, lower income schools to have exemplary ratings.
I think it's due to a higher prevalence of intact and engaged families. Call it Family Values if you want, but think it's clear that a kid with parents that ensure the homework is completed and in fact helps them to complete it will do better in school.
Trying to determine if there is other life in the Universe is the same as trying determine if there is a fly in a closed and darkened room in a house across town.
It's funny that the answer to the question, "Is there a God?" and "Is there life on other planets?" is interchangeable: "We can't know because there is no proof."
"Teaching to the test" is a lazy response to standardized curriculum guidelines.
I was in educational software market for 12 years and probably talked to over 300 schools across my state several times. Schools that simply taught the curriculum never had a problem with the tests. Schools that focused on the tests usually had problems.
If the test covers Algebra, then teach Algebra and they'll do fine on the tests.
This is the same state who voted an African American for President, clearly Florida is just a...ummm...never mind.
Fixed.
Of course the next thing you know the Police in all the major FL cities will start stopping and frisking blacks at random like that great bastion of liberties, New York City.
Perhaps you could enlighten us as to just how a program that holds schools accountable contributed to this particular event?
But, yes Zero Tolerance is the worst idea ever. They pay administrators a shit ton of money and they should be making the tough decisions and standing by them. Ex: A butter knife placed in a students lunch box by Mom vs a gang banger carrying a switchblade.
This is true. And Welders that are highly experienced and specialize in exotic materials or critical, high quality precision welds can make a lot of money.
if you don't want this, don't buy it. I know I won't
If I had money, I'd bet it all on some moron congresscritter pulling a Bill out of his ass that requires all weapons sold have this feature starting x years from now.
They are not bolting doors onto cars or running forklifts because they can't do anything else. When they joined the work force, these jobs were available and were jobs a person could raise a family with. A smart option for most, but the side effect is that you get stuck in a rut. The same way a guy who only known COBOL gets stuck.
But things change and Blue Collar manufacturing is less and less a job market that someone want's to join. New workers, who in the past would have gone into this job market, are capable of more. They can be the guys designing the robots, programming them, maintaining them, manufacturing them.
The knowledge of manufacturing is just as essential now as it was in the past and a robot has to put the nuts and bolts in pretty much the same order, as a human did. There is a lot of Tribal Knowledge about manufacturing that you don't learn at college and can pretty much only be found on the factory floor.
AND...in the last 200 years our physics understanding underwent a sea change, a complete replacement of one set of theories with another set. Who's to say that won't happen again and with that, cheap FTL travel?
Seems we always think that at the moment, we know all that is knowable when in truth the things we don't know dwarf the things we do know.
You would have to see the wages drop across the whole economy, not just one segment.
H1B isn't about market forces except to the extend that they distort the market. Businesses can't get workers at the wages the want to pay (meet the market wages) so they subvert the market by bringing in works from outside the market to undermine it.
If they want to outsource, fine. Outsource and be up front about what you are doing. Don't be pussies about it and bring the outsource workers here and then pretend you are hiring domestic workers.
Manager: "We need an application that does X,Y, and Z. When can you have it done?" Developer: "Well, can you tell me more?" Manager: "No, time I have a manager's meeting in 5 minutes. Just give a pall park." Developer:" Ok, umm 3 weeks." Manager: "THAT LONG?" Developer: "OK, 2 weeks? Maybe less?" Manager: "OK"
Later, in the manager's meeting.
Manager:"My developer says he can get it done in less than 5 days."
I guess missed that whole tax increase thing back several months ago.
Dems say "Raise taxes and we will cut spending and all will be good." then, Like dumb asses, Republicans agree and the Dems go ahead and increase spending.
Slashdot Mirror
The opposite of Love is not Hate, but Indifference.
Seems to be fucking up a lot of news sites. They apparently host Ad servers.
I'm out.
No, your comment is a moron move.
How about we require a background check before you can buy a fucking SUV to escape in?
Or, before you can post stupid shit on Slashdot.
"do something ineffectual" = "do nothing"
You just feel better about it.
They purchased Fireworks that contained black powder.
But that won't stop the morons in Congress from trying to make black powder something that requires a background check.
And folks like these two chuck-heads will continue to buy fireworks and be completely unaffected by the background checks.
Google Glass is Google Jumping the Shark.

The Trades are not going away, just changing.
If you were to take out all the particulars related to Patents and just keep the rest, this letter would be applicable to all areas of government.
Oh hell, now they are going to start a "gang".
