Hopefully it wasnt one of the schools in your district.

The original attack. Not only an incorrect correction, but one that contains a punctuation error.

Man I don't know you, but that was great, I thank you for putting the nail in the coffin. Thank you for finishing the argument 😀

Meh, Canada isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be. After finally realizing that there are good Canadians fighting and dying over in Iraq for this country, I have a new-found respect for them.

Not all kids that go to summer school do it because they are poor students. my wife's sister (16..no pics youpervs!) is a straight A student. she wants to go to summer school to get some classes done so she can take more AP classes.

but since we are going to court for custody of her we didn't put her in any.

Milk the community college system; skip the end of high school and, instead of doing AP classes, get her general ed done. Cuts down on university costs and she gets out of college early. Win win! Plus she can do a "year's worth" of class content in a semester so she wastes less time sitting in class now.

I just can't understand the continuing cutting of our country's educational budgets. What a freaking shame.

Wasn't an attack, I was making a joke.


He came at me frothing at the mouth due to where I live, because he has a major complex. Then the attacks started.

I never once throw out where I live, as if that means something anyway. You could live in Beverly Hills, but if you are in your mom's basement, who gives a shit? Ill take it out of my profile if that makes you sleep better at night.

The "OC" in my name actually meant overclocking, as I signed up for the tech portion of this site.


Quebert is the very special success-hating, Kobe-hating, Rap-loving OT thug that turns every thread into a flame fest if there is even one grain of sand in his vagina that day.

Edit: And he still spelled a word incorrectly in a thread where we were discussing the spelling of that exact word.

 

[Homerboy]

I just read this whole thread.... are you freaking idiots REALLY arguing over the spelling of a word? Jeebus, I wish I had such "major issues" in my life to get worked up over.

You should probably contact Microsoft, because Word thinks canceled is the proper spelling. Wordperfect also corrected it to canceled. Yes I typed it as caneled AFTER the fact. When will you admit YOU'RE wrong here? What more proof do you need? I'm confused at how to make you understand your stance here is flawled. Unless you think somehow because you believe you're right that somehow makes it right? See I'm just a hunble peice of white trash from Riverside, so if this had been reversed I would chalk it up to the fact I don't know everything and say "well I'll be damned, you learn something new every day." We won't think any less of you for admitting you don't know everything. Carrying on about how you're not wrong isn't a good look.

Im merely pointing out the irony of you calling someone retarded over a word spelling, and you spelling it wrong.

I'm actually writing my congressman to make sure there are no more funding cuts out that way. This could get bad.

I only did it after you bolded the word and called me a retard. You found a slip up that happened 30 minutes later and ran with it, but you look like the asshole here not me. Touche for finding my fuck up man, I'm sure it helped you cope with getting owned by a 909er.

It's touché
Too lazy or stubborn to figure out where the é is? And, wtf is a "hunble peice"??

(Let's see if getting him even more frazzled will cause him to make even more typing mistakes.) 😉 😛

I would agree except that the way the money is spent currently is not effective. It will take severe cuts to force the system to evolve. After evolution is underway and success starts to show through again THEN we should increase budgets and funding.

My wishlist for US education (that, sadly, will never be):
-Require kindergarten to start at age 4 with a focus on alphanumeric recognition and basic reading skills
-Push math much harder much younger; 5 and 6 year olds should be learning addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. 7 year olds should be into basic equations, etc. By the time they're in 6th grade they should be doing basic algebra
-Add in core classes for logic and basic reasoning skills when they're 10-12
-By the time they're 14 they should have a significant say in the construction of their curriculum, the areas in which they want to focus/explore. Allow a lot of variation in classes, experimentation
-By the time they're 16 they should pick an area to pursue; it could be more vocational or more academic but in either case it should be funded, detailed and aggressively-paced
-At 18 each kid should be emerging from school with an education that equips them to enter the workforce (US or abroad) and/or compete for a slot in higher education

I want to see high school re-emerge as the standard for employable labor, replacing our devalued undergraduate system. To do that you have to start younger and demand more from the students. Other countries do it successfully.

Of course, to make this work you have to accept that people will fail at it. If your goal is to have no failures you just keep lowering and lowering the standards until success means little or nothing. In the process you cease to educate those who would have otherwise been very successful.

I wasn't worked up, lol fighting is whatever to me. I was laughing actually I could care less if he ever admits he was wrong. And could care less he hates me and 909. He's a riot to argue with because he's so simple and easy to provoke.

Yes it's as black and white as that, there's no possible circumstances which could possibly cause a student to not do well.

Well this is ATOT where everyone is brilliant and damn near perfect.

agreed pretty much across the list.

My kid are (soon) 6 and 8 years old, so only your first 2 points apply thus far. And, I can happily say, we have our kids in schools (public) that stress those very things. Thank the lord for Charter Schools.

I don't think the solution is cutting budgets though. They will NOT evolve on any level (devolve in fact) if you just keep slashing budgets. You wont get forward thinking, positive and energetic people in teaching and governing positions with that path. You can still spend the money (and allot more for that matter) and just require to spend it right and make sure it's spent right.

But your concepts of making HS an actual, worthwhile institution are just dead on. Lowering the standards so "everyone is a winner!! Yeah!!" is whats gotten us into this hole. Sadly in life, some people are just going to fail.

Man this state is fucking strange.

Didn't grow up here? Area codes are used all the time to describe where you're from. Area codes and cities are used interchangeably..

must be from the douchier parts of the state.
never heard of such a thing in northern cal.

and yea ca is ridiculously broke.

Well maybe it's just the LA area, cuz there are so many cities that are right next to each other they all kind of blend into one. 626 is San Gabriel valley, pretty much describes Arcadia, Temple City, El Monte, Monteray Park, Alhambra, etc all at once.. 562 being Norwalk, Whittierish, Santa Fe Springs, Bellflower, etc. Anyway, an area code can generally describe the entire area, *shrug*

So maybe you guys don't do it in norcal cuz there aren't as many cities?

only remember it being used in veronica mars as a class label.

Why do you hate America, OCguy?

He lives in Anaheim Hills, every person I've ever came in contact with from there has been a doucher. And the fact he pointed out a word which I spelled correctly shows me the shools in his district probably were the ones that sucked. EITHER spelling is fine, I don't give a shit if 99% of people don't know with 2 L's is how British people use it. That doesn't make my spelling wrong, because it's not.

Screw you with a cork remover and a running start.

I don't care what somebody I don't know and don't care about has to say about somebody they don't know. I don't even care about you, but you're from a city of douches, so I'll waste my time fucking with you. It's like the Capulets Vs the Montagues, they just don't get along, and never will.
