If you don't see how your statistics course helps you understand the news, when there's a report of a poll that mentions "margin of error", something's wrong.
Health is a science / phys ed subject, not a math subject.
The remainder, except for investing, should combined constitute a week of study.
Investing is a broad field that requires the ability to understand and compare annual reports, understanding of entire industries, macroeconomics, etc. Except in the most loose and general of terms, it's not a pre-college subject.
In the school I attended, learning things like compound interest were a part of the "general math" class for those in danger of falling off the college prep track ( 8th grade ! ). That sort of stuff is pretty obvious to a bright person and shouldn't be part of classwork for people who will make tomorrow's technology.
People should be taught based on their goals and abilities.
Mnemonics are tricks for party games. A few are helpful, but you can't base your mind on them.
Mental mathematics are traditional, and need to replace the garbage that's being taught in US public school math classes today.
Executive functions. What on earth are you talking about?
Study skills - turn off the damn phone / radio / TV / music player / etc.. Sit down and do your homework. Take a look at the overall form of what you're trying to learn and then work out the details. Done.
Trump chooses his own cabinet candidates, and the likelihood of a Republican Congress rejecting his choices is small. His choices will be an echo chamber.
A move to "moderate" is a return to Fabianism. Trump's guiding lights are whim and power.
Odd. No evidence of broken fingers, no claims of waterboarding. I'd say she wasn't scrutinized very hard at all. I'm opposed to such practices in her case, but to claim she faced thorough investigation is laughable.
The general public can't bring criminal charges against her. The list of people who could get her indicted are either attorneys general or anyone else who could assemble a grand jury. All those are either already her supporters or live in literal deadly fear of the damage she would cause them if they tried -- or they've been bought.
It hasn't been long since Trump announced he could get away with shooting someone in the street. In that regard, Clinton's no different.
Not taking care to secure classified documents has always been illegal, and that laws clarifying that in relation to computers are recent would not give Clinton a legal loophole.
The pity is that Obama and the Clintons will escape the justice that reached the Rosenbergs for committing treason.
Oh boy, wouldn't that be fun. About the time Hillary's indicted, the New York Times is going to release a movie chronicling Trump's life of crime and degradation. Maybe both parties will dump their candidates and choose new ones.
People are a part of the time in which they live, and even revolutionaries can't be expected to fix every aspect of the world in which they live,
About half the Founders were slaveholders. Neither Ethan Allen nor Patrick Henry could be remotely considered stodgy.
FWIW, I've heard it said that Trump claims he'll cut off foreign aid to Mexico, which on a balance-of-payments basis would be equivalent to making them pay for it. Kinda.
You may not be far off. But the US has never been a democracy. It is a constitutional democratic republic with separation of powers and a bill of rights (and all those parts are essential.)
Without the pressures applied by free trade starting in the 1950s, we'd be driving slightly improved 1958 Buicks. Volkswagen and Toyota challenged the "longer lower wider" paradigm and brought us better cars.
Free trade runs both ways, and if we (perversely) impose high import tariffs they will be (ignorantly) retaliated against by our trading partners. The ending of the free trade that gives us cheap cars and TVs also means the bankruptcy of farmers in the midwest and California's central valley.
The economy is already weak. Protectionist trade policies means a repeat of the Great Depression, when the poor suffered and some died.
One talk show host (I forget which one) pointed out that considering the annual percent gain from start in business to today, Paris Hilton is far better at business than Donald Trump. I suspect she made her gains honestly.
the bottom 50% of tax payers collectively contribute more than 80% of the federal take-in in income tax
Not only is that a lie, it's not even mathematically possible.
Too much of higher education is just wasted. Throwing more money at it just means more degrees in Lesbian Studies and Community Organizing, things which range from vacuous to outright dangerous.
Vocational schooling should occur about age 17 or so, people out for careers requiring low level technical training shouldn't be taking college prep courses at that age.
It's a matter of degree. The worse things get, the more willing a larger number of people will be to leave. I'm 66 and have no desire to go to another country, but if the feds announced that they were going to seize the property of anybody worth more than $50,000, I'd liquify and flee, or failing that burn everything to the ground.
The minimum cutoff for geniuses is generally considered to be the top 1% or smaller. Your choice of the top 10% makes them merely somewhat smart.
FWIW, the bulk of the bright people would be coming from the Orient (Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore) and to a lesser extent western Europe.
Edmund Burke, quoted in your signature, is one of the most revered intellectual foundations of modern conservatism. There's no rational connection between him and Bernie Sanders.

and it didn't start in 1964, either.
In the past the idiocy was usually limited to the campaigns and the vice-presidential candidates. The presidential candidates were usually somewhat dignified. What's new is seeing somebody like Trump and wondering why he's not foaming at the mouth.

When I was in college, there was a large (leftist) push to make sure all courses were "relevant". No-one thought to ask "relevant to what?"
If the stuff you learned was "non-useful", the fault is almost certainly yours.

Take a look at the proposed HillaryCare program, which would have imprisoned doctors attempting to work outside a federal healthcare system.
Outside of such pet projects and expanding her personal power, Hillary's for sale to the highest bidder.
