Public School Education System Thread

[C-Mag]

You have to have some education in both technology and English/communication to write cyber security material. You’re not going to YouTube your way into that job. In my case, knowing a few programming languages, having a CS minor, and multiple tech writing certs was the only path, and a path that still took years once all the pieces were in place.

IMO, I'm certain if we try we can come up with a way to educate kids in basic language and communication skills to prepare them to be able to go on and be successful like you.

For instance, I would push for 4-8 years of Financial education. I'd have a class on the habits of financially successful people, don't get an MIP, don't get a DUI, don't do drugs, don't have a kid in high school, learn english, communication, math, don't take payday loans, don't buy shit on credit, don't finance your phone or cable tv, don't use Student Loans to Finance Spring Break. Sounds silly, but under our current education system people do this shit all the time and it leads to failure.

True. That’s why I’m looking for the specifics on what the alternative looks like. Coca-Cola doesn’t have any philanthropic desire to educate our kids. Any education they sponsor will be just as driven by alternative motivations as government run schools.

Home schooling might work for the posh neighborhoods of Seattle, but what does it look like in South L.A. or rural Mississippi?

You guys are A+ at identifying problems, but what does the solution look like?

Picture Abe Lincoln learning at home by candlelight, but with internet and light bulbs.

Omar Austin had to do a double take when he spotted a sexually explicit question on his teenage daughter's homework assignment this week.

• "Ursula was devastated when her boyfriend broke up with her after having sex. To get revenge, she had sex with his best friend the next day. Ursula had a beautiful baby girl nine months later. Ursula has type O blood, her ex-boyfriend has AB blood and his best friend is type A blood. If her baby daddy is her ex-boyfriend what could the possible blood type(s) of her baby NOT be."

The proper answer to that question is none.
Ursala went to Planned Parent hood when she started to show and had an abortion. Ursala is now on birth control and has carefree sex anyone time she wants with multiple partners and is currently exploring different gender opportunities.

PRINCIPAL APOLOGIZES TO BLACK STUDENTS OVER 'PARTY LIKE IT'S 1776' PROM THEME

A New Jersey principal apologized to minority students for the phrase “party like it’s 1776” imprinted on tickets to the school’s upcoming senior prom to be held at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.

Cherry Hill High School East Principal Dennis Perry sent a letter to students, parents and other community members Friday apologizing for the “insensitive” wording that led to complaints from African-American and minority students. Perry said it was “irresponsible” for he and other prom organizers to overlook the historical fact that “not all communities can celebrate what life was like in 1776,” a time of slavery in America.

We can't celebrate anything historical, traditional, and "Americana" today. Our world now doesn't acknowledge memory or ritual. Technology doesn't value history and neither does the modern democratic/capitalistic/consumerist world.

So party like it's Congolese civil war is on?

I mean.. we can imagine what life would be like had our ancestors not enslaved their ancestors. They could be low-60s IQ villagers buried in mass graves. It's terrible what happened to them instead. Living like this. On fucking welfare. Spending all their gibs on hair extensions and fast food.

History began in 2008.

Not entirely untrue.

The foundations of civilization were cracked, and some were destroyed. We’ve taped over the problem with money printing, but it’s a temporary solution.
