    This is s common lie many school administrators will tell you, but it is patently true. The article itself stated that the non-vaxed are among the most educated in the country. How do you think they got their?

    Your education level and intelligence are not related. Some of the most educated people in the world are as thick as pig shit.

    Yeah, but they aren't the first party games being put out to sell their console and the ones that ninty hardware can handle usually make it over a year or so late. Also there are 250+ games in the mario franchise alone ( https://www.mariowiki.com/Mari... ) not even fifa could compete with that.

    Who had the weird idea that kid locations should go into a database?

    If I made such a system, I'd make it so the kid location is sent directly to the parent's device (phone or pc). No intermediary. (Other than the network itself, but encryption prevents snooping there.) No cloud. No company server somewhere.

    Yeah, but then how would you sell that data to third parties?

    YouTube's automated system doesn't require a DMCA claim to be submitted, it's an entirely internal system.

    I wonder why more people don't put out claims against media from the larger companies through these forms, subjecting them to potentially the same random takedowns and de-monetization that other YouTubers have to live with...

    I wonder why someone hasn't abused the shit out of that form and written some kind of script that files like 10 for every single video on youtube. See if they look at their system again after that.

    Good points. I'm not trying to say unless a teacher creates every piece of everything from scratch then they suck, someone who actually insisted on doing that would probably be just as bad. It's all about balance at the end of the day. All I was really trying to say is there's more to teaching than most people give it credit for. As you have some experience of it I assume you know you have to be adaptable and sometimes your lesson is going to go out the window, now expand that to all day everyday lol.

  20. Re:It's a law. Might be stupid , but it's law on The Robot Revolution Will Be Worse For Men · · Score: 1

    > lessons come pre planned and differentiated etc etc etc.

    Think about what they teach in public school, as opposed to college. Arithmetic, reading, basic civics like "how a bill becomes a law".

    They are teaching the same thing that 100,000 other schools are teaching at the same time, and the same thing they taught last year, and the year before, and they decade before. Algebra hasn't changed. Heck Schoolhouse Rock "I'm Just a Bill" is still better than whatever lesson most teachers would come up with and it's from 1976. So yeah those lessons do come pre-planned. If you're making your own lessons instead of using the lessons 100,000 other teachers are using for the topic, you're doing it wrong.

    > assignments just appear and are magically marked

    Uhm yeah there's this thing called a "computer". When I was in grade school it was called "Scantron". Now it's called the "form" tag.

    Like I said it depends on subject on and level and yeah math is math, but what bits of math do you teach in what lessons to what students? If you just plan one set of math lessons and deliver that on repeat regardless then you would be a shit teacher.

    You would more than likely use a computer to make an assignment but there's a bit more to it than writing a question at the top of a page and leaving it there.

    If you just use other people's stuff then you are doing it wrong. Maybe that's why people always say the american public education system is shit, maybe they are just doing it wrong. I mean, I can make a functional website by cutting and pasting code from the web together but that doesn't make a developer and if it does, not a good one.

    There's a lot more to teaching than just standing at the front of a room and talking at kids. Well, if you want to be a good teacher anyway.

  21. Re:$50/hour and $10,000 bonus in Texas on The Robot Revolution Will Be Worse For Men · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Texas teachers are required to work six hours a day, 187 days per year. That's not terrible.

    I don't know what it likes in texas but here teachers generally work 3x the hours the actually teach. Unless you think reports write them selves, assignments just appear and are magically marked, lessons come pre planned and differentiated etc etc etc. Obviously it varies with subject and level but the idea that teachers only work while they teach is a stupid as saying soldiers only work when they fight.
