Except your both idiots because stem cells came from nonviable sources that would have been destroyed no matter what to begin with like fertility treatment leftovers and umbilical cords.
Inconvenient how those facts get in the way of righteous anger isn't it?
Central florida, where else is going to be 80 degrees and have 80% humidity and not be a/b day block schedule? It's the only state I know of that uses all-day every-day class scheduling.
One of my schools had it, but then they started mixing all of the classes back together. The problem is that if you let them most of these kids will easily outpace the entirety of the schools curriculum and the whole point of school isn't imparting knowledge, it's keeping the kids busy all day.
The "system" is flawed in grading as well, it's very often possible for teachers to take someone a whole letter grade down purely for personal reasons (in florida it's often called "lifeskills points") and the entire system is extroardinarily F-weighted.
It's very easy to simply get unlucky in which questions are on a given test and by that ONE grade be mathematically eliminated from ever getting much higher than a middleground C whether or not you get all C's for the rest of the year or all A's.
It's a system I abused to garbage bin finals and still have an A that one of my schools implemented a policy where your final can override your grade if you don't sit for it.
Stop pretending that everyone is "gifted" or "honors" and let the precious snowflakes that get it after the third go move on in advanced classes while the ones that actually need to bang their head against 50 problems stay behind.
In other words don't punish excellence with forced mediocrity. Throw in some ethics as a preventative measure and if they get cocky and act too superior anyway they'll get taken down a notch when they hit something they can't do.
Just worth throwing out that I have yet to see a school which does not say that students should expect anything less than 3 hours of homework per class. Down here in florida schools tend to have 5 classes a day.
Either three states' worth of schools didn't do the math or schools genuinely expect students to spend 22 hours a day working, 7 in school and 15 outside of class.
Sleep 4 to 5 hours, skip breakfast, carry 2/3rds of your weight half a mile, listen to a lecture and then write by hand a 5 paragraph essay, carry that weight another half mile, repeat, carry that weight another half mile, repeat, carry it another half mile, this time to 50 advanced chemistry problems without ANY type of calculator OR slide rule OR lookup table for square roots, go another half mile to stand in line for 25 minutes of your half hour lunch break and pay $3 eat 1 ~4 inch long slice of pizza and about 8 ounces of skim milk that's past it's expiration date, pick it up and haul it another half mile to do 50 3-equation sets of quadratics with a 4 function calculator, go another half mile and then another 5 paragraph essay gets churned out.
Now go home and read roughly 2 small paperback novels, do two more 5 paragraph essays, another 80 quadratic sets, another 22 chem problems, and work on whatever random assignment the teacher wants you to do as part of a "yearlong research project".
Oh yeah you're doing all of this in a school that's designed for a population so much lower that right now you've got 3 toilets for about 1200 people. And it's 85 degrees outside and 80% humidity and much hotter during your your half-hour long bus ride that is literally 4 to a seat and people standing in the aisles, and you get to do this all again tomorrow.
In the 3 minutes you have from the moment your teacher allows you to begin taking things off your desk and putting them in your backpack you try to go to the bathroom but teachers keep walking to the front of the 20 student line and screwing you over.
They obviously don't give three shits about anything other than themselves and whether you cheat or not you'll still be far and away qualified for college and the real world.
It's just like every other "most games" list compiled by people who don't know something about anything when it comes to games. They just picked the results of a bunch of "ZOMG FAV CONSOLE GAME" lists and slapped it together without paying any attention to which games actually had any genuine influence on gaming as a whole.
but if you started screaming seig heil at me you wouldn't be protected because hate speech is inherently a threat to the reciever. Heard of the term "fighting words"?
you do not have the right to not be offended, you do have the right to not have a burning cross in the back of a pickup parked in front of your house while people shout racial epithets.
You are missing the first and most important half of being a smartass, as I told the other guy if you really think that go try it and see how long you last before you're arrested.
First off hate speech is not protected speech so your example falls on it's ass, secondly they wouldn't be able to get away with banning people for being black, asian, muslim, or protestant so doing it for being gay is just as discriminatory.

Better than the butchery that's resulted of the new preview system's most recent episode of toying around with me would suggest.

per class as each and every class day, everyone I asked was very specific about that, apologies if I worded it ambiguously.

... is all that matters and not the actual comprehension, then they will find a way around the arbitrary system.
In other words, if you ask for bullshit do not be surprised when they bullshit you.
It can be worse. Imagine having a latex allergy back when nobody believed in them.
HOW MANY 1 dollar off coupons. If I'll be getting 3 of them a month for the next 3 years then it's worth it.
Sounds more like they've basically just found something vaguely useful to do with waste aluminum.
Not enough crying to be touhou.
Oooooh pretty lights.
If you mean to sign up for this, don't bother. Tabula rasa went "free" but for whatever reason they still needed your credit card number to sign up.

There's a diff between staging a rally to say you hate whoever and attacking an individual specifically.
Once again: try it sometime.

Go try it, see how it works out.
First off hate speech is not protected speech so your example falls on it's ass, secondly they wouldn't be able to get away with banning people for being black, asian, muslim, or protestant so doing it for being gay is just as discriminatory.
Adding to this, the last time I checked it was still legal pretty much anywhere in the US to record in-person conversations on your own.
Hit options and select "plain old text".
OT? This actually frighteningly makes sense, and unfortunately I can see this line of thought actually occuring here in america.
