Closing schools was a disaster

[Adam Lambert]

There's no federal rule against opening schools, why do you guys want Big Government telling states and school districts what to do?

[Blake]

Closing schools was a disaster

How so

[DarrinS]

How so

Do you have kids in school?

[Blake]

Do you have kids in school?

Yeah have you heard of zoom?

If any school is producing ducks, keep them closed forever!

Or refund all my tax money for producing this abhorrent creature.

There is no way ducks earned a high school diploma.

Social promotions in schools should be outlawed.

So what that ducks was 30 years old 12th grader, no way he earned the diploma.

You can obtain a bachelor degree in America without passing Calculus. Most liberal arts actually.

Ducks does not even use punctuation so a bachelor’s degree would be a bridge too far for him.

Even Poles I know that have seen his posts have said ducks is an idiot, and they know idiots!

Anti-Trump sentiment, not science, may be behind Dems’ school closures, liberal NY Times columnist writes

[boutons_deux]

anybody who wants schools to re-open must first get all the school staff vaccinated.

That doesn't appear to be the priority for anybody wanting virus-vector students back in school

LOL like calculus is anything difficult.

And Darrin disappears :lol

Hopefully this is a very temporary thing.
It’s not good enough.

I am helping a kid across the street and the labs they do in science online with the simulations just don’t cut it. Some are very good, but there’s nothing like manipulating equipment with your own hands and then redoing it because you screwed up. And then finally catching on. I think it’s also important because a number of kids that might not be interested in science become interested when they get to play with equipment. I know I did.

That all being said I have been exposed to some tremendous simulations that you can manipulate. but having a room full of kids dissecting pigs and being allowed to look at the differences between the different pigs at the different dissecting tables is invaluable. doctors who open people up have to know this.

Just a perspective from one subject. Also I got laughed at when I thought the simulations were so good and then got it explained to me how good online gaming is and how bored they are with the simulations.

[pgardn]

it gets quite difficult if you have a teacher that does not try to apply it to real situations like physics (what it was actually invented for, motion problems and the idea of instantaneous velocity which is still vexing to some people ) If all you do is play with trigonometric functions it starts becoming tedious.

Calculus' difficulty is massively overrated IMO, at least freshman calc. Unless you're studying out of Apostol's book, then it's fucking hard. :lol

Understandably there are issues like this, especially for science class. But not a "disaster". The one daughter I've mentioned here has been taking an engineering class sponsored by UT at her high school just fine

You're setting yourself up

In 2017, a total of 194,377 babies were born to women aged 15–19 years, for a birth rate of 18.8 per 1,000 women in this age group. This is another record low for U.S. teens and a drop of 7% from 2016.1 Birth rates fell 10% for women aged 15–17 years and 6% for women aged 18–19 years.2

Although reasons for the declines are not totally clear, evidence suggests these declines are due to more teens abstaining from sexual activity, and more teens who are sexually active using birth control than in previous years.3, 4

Still, the U.S. teen pregnancy rate is substantially higher than in other western industrialized nations5, and racial/ethnic and geographic disparities in teen birth rates persist.6

School board member likens reopening to slavery. Lol

Good thing you confirmed she was black, that completely changes the (non)story.

its certainly when math stopped coming naturally to me. i was always good with numbers, and intuitive in algebra/geometry, etc. never really paid attention in math class and didnt study much, often skipped homework, but would ace tests.

calc was the first time i actually had to work hard in math class

Maybe its better they keep that particular school closed. :lol

The Daily Caller knows this is a nothingburger of a story but it also knows it can rely on rubes like Karrin to feed them clicks and views.

Same. Didn't help that I knew I was never going to use that shit after high school. Same reason I dropped AP Physics.

You have twice as many posts as I do in that one.

Was it the first math class you took at UCLA? If so, that's why. Go take calc at Northridge and it would have been easy.

calc ab in high school

at UCLA, depending on your major, they would put you in different math courses. there was one track for physical sciences, one for life sciences, with the physical sciences being on a slightly tougher track. because i majored in biochem and not bio, i was placed into the physical science track, so i had to take the 31-32 series instead of what was the 3 series (could be a bit mistaken on the exact numbers).

for biochem, i basically needed calc AB (would have been 31A at UCLA), BC (31B), and then a pretty basic multiviariable calc (32A). i found 31B to be challenging. 32A actually seemed easier. they really toned down the complexity because it was multivariable, so a lot of the problems seemed pretty simple

Was 31B on infinite series when you took it? Loved that shit but infinite series could get really hairy. There was one especially difficult theorem that for any real number and any convergent series that wasn't uniformly convergent you could always find a rearrangement to converge to that real number (or plus minus infinity). Though I think we didn't have to prove that one until 131BH. I can see why you thought 32A was easier if like geometry since that was so much 3D geometry. 32B material was really cool if you were into physics though, required lots of geomtric intuition.

I was mostly thinking of 31A and early 31B material when I said calc is easy.

yeah 31B had infinite series for sure. didnt enjoy that course at all. i didnt have to take anything beyond 32A. same with physics, i just had to take 1 year... 6A, 6B, and 6C
