I see your point. I did well in school but usually saw teachers as an obstacle and was in trouble for it quite often.
Those ideas seem like a better alternative to the current state of education, but, it still brings me back to my original point, the children need parents that care. Can we send them back to the new schools, too?
Your solutions would no doubt improve the school systems in those neighborhoods where the parents were already involved and the teachers and administrators haven't been "ground down by the system". I won't argue that at all. Nor will I argue that the our school system is not the best (being based on the Prussian system or to better serve an agricultural based economy).
Most of the "decent" school districts are turning out plenty of intelligent graduates (myself and I'm sure you are included). The problem with certain school districts is that no amount of money, better teachers, teaching systems or policies will change the system until the parents genuinely care about their children's education.
My point is that the bottom of the education curve is a repeating cycle of parents that don't care enough about their children to break this cycle. I don't believe giving them a guaranteed monthly income is going to change anything.
Bravo, sir. Bravo.
Wow, you're being really generous calling it "pr0n for the mind". More like special effects pr0n!
Not that surprising if you've read the book "The Accidental Billionaires". They specifically mention that there is one person dedicated to writing a PHP compiler and compiling all Facebook PHP.
Also, I don't understand why they don't use one of the currently available PHP compilers, phc or Roadsend. It's possible they started their initiative earlier, but they should have announced it and possibly prevented some duplicate work.
Where are my mod points when I need them? This post is right on.
I'm a little suspicious as to why the computers need to return to IT for backup and reformatting. Sounds like they need a better tool for backups. The higher ups might have a really good reason to not follow this policy.
Just curious, where did you get this info? The USGS thinks differently.
