"We oppose the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) (values clarification), critical thinking skills and similar programs that are simply a relabeling of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) (mastery learning) "
So, class, do "they" oppose all Higher Order Thinking Skills or just those that are relabeled Outcome Based Education? Where do you suppose "they" would have put the period if the goal of the sentence was to portray opposition to all HOTS?
Use your critical thinking skills and reading comprehension. Once you figured it out and come to terms with the fact that it's doesn't actually say what the trolls want you to think it says, you may go to recess.
As a bonus, you can write a few paragraphs discussing what it says about Slashdot that most everyone is so ready to believe what the original poster wanted them to believe.
First, Obama and the Dems sold this as not a tax. So they lied. Obama is now responsible for raising taxes on all Americans to the tune of over a trillion dollars.
Second, it's a tax on you. Not what you earn, not where you live, not what you own, but you.
So they got their technical win. Doesn't make it right though.
Since you are the one "hiring" then you are the problem.
You would reject someone with 20 years experience in manufacturing, who knows ERP and MRP backwards and forwards because they don't meet some lame ass criteria you set for an ERP developer.
If you'd pull your head out of your ass and actually interview people you might find those who, although maybe need to come up to speed on your tool set, knows your business, can actually discuss solutions intelligently with your customers and design solutions that have longevity and are robust.
But no. You want some code monkey that you can pitch specs to and have them churn out code. Maybe that's what's wrong with American workers, they don't submit to incompetent control freaks.
Which I think is stupid. Absent someone being in danger inside the location, or (and even this is iffy) the possible destruction of evidence, there is absolutely no reason to be that aggressive. Surround the place, cut off the utilities and wait them out. No one gets hurt.
And actually, there have been many instances which would qualify as the basis of my original comment. Hell, cops just making a call on a house to take a report are ending up shooting the family pets.
Another reason is that to a large degree, PhD programs are clubs. You not only have to meet the academic requirements, but you also have to do the whole political thing, which pretty much starts when you are an undergrad. If you piss off a professor anywhere along the way, then you are toast and have to work ten times as hard to get accepted into a program somewhere.
if you are qualified, my company wants to hire you
And there's the problem...what is the definition of "qualified"? I've been i this business for nearly thirty years. When I was laid off, I had about 3 years C# experience...as in heads down coding 80% of the day 5 days a week. It was my world.
Looking for work, people wouldn't even interview me because they wanted 5 years experience, or 4. One place wanted 1 year experience in some particular tool that I had gone to training for and used for nearly 10 months. Sorry...not enough "experience".
The hiring process at most companies is a joke of tick off the requirements line. If the airlines hired pilots like this, they'd reject an Air Force Colonel with 20 years at the stick of a C-5 because they aren't certified to fly a 747.
So I say cut the HB-1 stuff to a trickle and make the companies actually pay attention to the candidates instead of doing fucking keyword scans on resumes.
You say that as if having a Masters or PhD in real life counts for shit when it comes to getting the job done.
I think that in many cases, the call for these credentials is not only overkill, but possibly even detrimental. After all, when you are a PhD, your mind is polluted with all the knowledge of things that WON'T work and which you subsequently never even attempt.
I don't know...maybe they against folks being brought in to fill jobs while qualified Americans are skipped over?
You can argue if that's actually the case but to say people are against it because they don't want foreigners to come here is a pretty stupid argument given the small numbers involved.
Legal immigrants have passed through a series of filters that ensures they a) have marketable skills that are in demand b) are able to support themselves or have someone to support them until they are established and c) are not criminals.
Making everyone here magically become legal is tantamount to not having immigrating laws at all, which is tantamount to not having borders.

So, I'll start seeing porn commercials?
If your insurance is a "Cadillac" plan, you will pay an extra tax.
If your insurance plan doesn't meet the minimum standards, it will have to be upgraded and will cost you more.
If your plan is juuust right, then perhaps your costs won't go up...maybe.
Fuck...Congress didn't/doesn't know what's in it.
What a way to run a country.
Those who refuse to get insurance that meets the Government's definition.
My current coverage, which does not include services for women does not meet their standards. So I will have to pay more for services I don't use.
But Obama will take it anyway eh? Doesn't matter. Obama and the Dems have now raised taxes.
I pay for my health insurance. I choose a high deductible plan.My costs are low.
Now, they will probably triple because I'll have to pay for coverage for things I don't use such as OBGYN.
So, thanks for raising my costs with no benefit to me.

Since you're on Slashdot too I expect you are a lazy fat fuck American?
...should be charged with negligent homicide...
I would tend to agree.
And SuricouRaven, I doubt anyone would last a few days, let alone a week sucking on tear gas, no water, heat/ac, and in the dark.
My taxes just tripled.
Their training says to strike hard...

Where is Crocodile Dundee when you need him?
I am about as hard core Market as it gets. But China is a distortion of the market where you essentially have people working as slaves for the State.

...they didn't bring SWAT along, bust down her door and shoot her dog (and possible her).
That's doesn't stop the entire Islamic world from going apeshit when someone draws him.
"...how to power civilization..."
We know how...Nuclear.
But that's on the list of OhNoes!
Maybe you should change the people you associate yourself with.

The biggest problem with Slashdot is the whining.
