Ohhh you don't really believe any of them thought that far ahead do you??? This is the PUBLICK SKOOLS we're talkin here! They think oompa loompas handle all the externalities including the enormous increase in utility bills for herding them into enormous buildings in the hottest time of the year! As for unruly or apathetic students, the schools only know they get the same amount of tax money for a Rhodes scholar at they do an Adam Lanza. So the likelihood of them getting rid of the army of class disruptors that don't want to be there and aren't going to learn anything anyway is absolutely 0.
Regimented learning- listening to endless lectures, testing, more lectures, etc. no matter how long its done, does not allow for creativity. The goal of all teaching should be to produce self-educating people that don't need to be told what to do all the time. That is why some of the richest people on earth dropped out of the decades long education behemoth and started inventing things, starting businesses, etc. All of the homeschoolers in my college info sys class could teach the class if they wanted to.
Since most poor kids parents have little or no education anyway, what would they teach them if they had the time? I know a lot of poor kids whose parents never worked at all. And I know quite a few who find plenty of money for drugs, tattoos, piercings, and jewelry, somehow. Wonder if there is a connection?
In the 1950s you could throw the worst of the worst out, no problem. When my dad was a kid in school in the 1930s he saw a fight between a thug student and the principal in which the principal was bloodied. They threw the student out and told him don't come back. Now they tell you that you have to provide an alternative school for the said inmate. Public schools are now just a holding pen to keep the kids off the street and to get them out of the house for their parents who didn't want them anyway.
The only way to get any reform out of the schools is to give them the power to get rid of the worst of the worst students. I'm talking the bottom 5% who are gangbangers, drug dealers, and career criminals. Since many schools throughout the nation are only thought of as a holding pen to keep kids off the streets and lazy, mentally vacant parents think of it as just a way to get them out of the house, this practice needs to end. They aren't going to learn anything anyway since they don't want to learn and don't want to be there. If you can't stop that then keeping them there 24/7 won't make any difference at all.
HAHAHAHAAH!! How about Harvard, Chachi? Would that be good enough for you? It was for the president and not only can he not write he apparently can't read very well either. Or spel! He pronounced the word corps, as in Marine corps, CORPSE, several times in a speech Also, Jay Carney, his Harvard press secretary, didn't know the capital of Israel. I don't think they teach them anything there anyway, except how to look down their noses at the people that actually make the world work and the rest is propaganda. I think they should both get their money back from Harvard. Oh wait, they went there for free!!! Paid for by the peasants and other sheeple they rule.
Then you must also believe that all utilities are free. Electricity use is highest in the hottest months of the year. Buses would use far more fuel running year round. And the drop out rate would be much much higher than it is now. Inner city schools have a drop out rate of around 60%. So somebody obviously wants it to be 74-80% here. My last 2 years of high school were a waste of my time doing busywork and other dead ends. I could have started college 2 years earlier and gotten out 2 years earlier.
Being that nearly all of that antimatter supposedly made by the Big Bang is missing, I would say that is a big yes, Sheldon! Oh wait, I know!!! Its hiding . . . in the oceans, you know, where all the global warming is hiding!!! Yeah!

You do so as well. BUt with your own urea and a light amount of electrolysis, you can produce your own hydrogen. Rotting bread dough produces tremendous amounts of hydrogen as well. I think hydrogen is being actively suppressed, along with diesel passenger cars.
With LFTR you would not need to use an expensive and power hogging Reverse Osmosis plant to desalinate seawater. A thorium reactor is an excellent and efficient way to desalinate seawater by the tons per minute. The gigawatts of free power are also a plus.
This year round stupidity came from parents who don't want their kids around the house. So they shove the child rearing off onto the schools who cannot punish them properly, can't do many things, and are not designed to raise their kids. Also, if you make them go year round, even though the drop out rate is already high, the drop out rate will go through the roof. They look at schools as holding pens for young thugs to keep them off the streets.
You don't understand, this is Californians we're talking to here. If they can't botch something up real big, mess everything up around it, and send the bill to the taxpayers, they won't do it. All that talk of carbon free energy is just a ruse to spend more tax money, not actually generate carbon free energy.
Ya'll have this backwards. Newer designs are far safer and can easily be made earthquake proof and walkaway safe. You can easily desalinate seawater by the tons per minute using nuclear power, its carbon free, and you never run out of fuel. Compare that to the ridiculously expensive Reverse Osmosis plant they are building near San Diego. And it will use UP tremendous amounts of energy, not generate it.
California - proudly backwards then and backwards now. BUt its ok, its not like the state is in a drought and could use all that seawater for anything like uhhhh watering crops maybe???
Yep! They've got you coming and going. Its illegal to have it and probably also illegal to not report it. So if they even suspect you for 1 minute of possessing it no matter how it got there and come to your house with a SWAT team you have to explain why they were there and then why you deleted it. So they can then get you for 2 charges. But if you report it and they don't believe you got it by accident * poppo * ! Off to jail with you. And like plenty of people have pointed out before, it said nothing about the perp actually being involved in any way with actual production or distribution of such a thing.
Ayn Rand predicted this day would come when there are so many actions defined as crimes that it becomes impossible to not be a criminal.
I think a more reasonable law would look at whether the defendant actually was involved in the production or distribution of such material first. If that answer is negative and they can't prove he actually sought it out then the reasonable doubt should kick in and he should go free.
It looks like free email has a really big downside. I don't pay attention to their ads but think its alright for the free stuff. Finding yourself in jail because of that may require everyone to rethink the benefits. Since anyone can send just about anything to anybody via file attachment, this has serious consequences.
Whether or not you have been previously convicted of anything has no bearing on the guilt or innocence of the allegedly new offense. YOu can still be convicted easily with no priors.
As a college instructor who saw a student go to jail for just such a thing, I can tell you it doesn't always go down at trial like its supposed to. His defense attorney got an FBI Agent on the stand to admit that at the time the incident occurred that he was definitely at work that day at that minute(he lived with 2 other people). But somehow he went to prison anyway and is probably still there.
I don't understand how it happened, but somehow that should have excluded him as the suspect. These things have a way of taking on the flavor of the French Revolution. Anyone that would hurt a child gets the whole community in a lynch mob mentality because hey - we have to defend the children, right? Of course. And no one would defend such a thing (Aristocrat/ Communist). When someone first gets accused of something, the first thing you think is "that guy did it". And that may have been true here and hopefully it will only happen to the guilty. But this can end very very badly in a hundred different ways.
He could start by calling on Congress to get the corrupt H1-B Visa program cancelled. Thats the government program whereby companies import foreign citizens to do I.T. work for half or less than the current salary. It would also help everyone of every race.
It may be 3rd grade, but the secrets of the universe are hidden in atomic physics. And speaking of 3rd grade, the power here could be used to end the drought out west simply by nuclear desalination of seawater. But 3rd grade is too much for California government.No, cheap and practical solutions are out of the question. Instead they are spending millions on a reverse osmosis plant to desalinate seawater that will use tremendous amounts of electricity. Brilliant.
Again, you are confusing libertarians with communists. You think only the state can protect you from evil forces. Any safety the govt. provides does not excuse what always happens even in a free state: drafts into military action, arrests by gestapo on little or no evidence, heavy taxes, fines, fees, and other things - less if they like you more if they don't. Oh yeah, with govt. of the 20th century alone murdering 130,000,000 people and killing 110,000,000 in wars, they can really be counted on to make us S-A-F-E!
You are thinking of places where big government rules supreme. They are absolute hellholes like Cuba and North Korea, where no liberal would ever want to immigrate to, but wants all of the "fairness" that the governments of those countries promise. Would that you could only see how government power only makes things worse. Individuals acting by themselves disorganized never could have caused the holocaust. It took the organization of government law and force going after people to do it. Governments of the 20th century murdered more people, 130,000,000, than all of the people dying in wars of the 20th century(also caused by governments). Now that is really saying something, about the power of government, to destroy.

Its not geared for bright children. Its made to teach the slowest common denominator. Real learning is looked down on.
Or do like your president from Hahvad said and join the Marine corpse.
