Meterologists have to take Calculus, but not Albert Flores.

Key West and the lower keys now getting wrecked by the worst part of the eye wall.

agree with you there... also I don't get why they don't just teach geometry as part of pre-cal, there is too much "old" crap from algebra 1 and before that's covered in geometry honestly (like practically the whole first semester goes by doing slope-intercept form, factoring radicals, e.g. stuff you learn in algebra 1 and middle school math without even getting to soh-cah-toa), and too much algebra 2 crap covered in pre-cal. Pre-cal should be geometry, trig, and a little bit on sequences and conics. They really need to skim down and do less teaching twice and 3 times the same stuff in multiple years/courses. Throw out the "geometry" class and teach the important stuff first semester of pre-cal... but they won't.

also... why can't you take algebra II and geometry concurrently? I don't understand that... because you don't really need geometry to ace algebra II or vice versa. Instead of taking some gimmick classes your freshman year of high school, why not take...

- PreAP English I
- PreAP World Geography (that's piss easy)
- PreAP Algebra II
- PreAP Geometry
- Lunch (waste of time, but the school requires it so they can sell their ty food I'd never eat at a high premium... I guess useful to do HW)
- AP Biology (if you're smart enough... Pre-AP was too easy for me IMO)
- PreAP Foreign Language I
- Elective (sports or PE, art, band, etc)

Sop re year...

- PreAP English II
- AP World History (this is another one of those that's irrelevant for college though, they require US but that's about it... don't waste money on this AP test)
- PreAP Pre-Calculus
- PreAP Chemistry
- Lunch
- AP Physics
- PreAP Foreign Language II
- Elective

Junior year...

- AP English III (those timed writings are rough)
- AP US History
- AP Calculus AB
- AP Statistics
- PreAP Foreign Language III (take as Dual Credit if you can)
- Lunch
- AP Chemistry (if your school has it... mine did not sadly)
- Elective

Senior year...

- English IV regular (because English IV AP test nets a practically worthless college credit in British Lit, unrequired for most STEM college majors)
- AP Government/Macroeconomics
- Elective (have you had your fine arts and athletic requirements by now?)
- Elective (health and speech requirement? I don't know if they still require this)
- Elective
- Lunch
- OFF Block
- OFF Block

.... why take "break" periods, like most TX high schools will allow you if you have a job or college? To dink off... nope. Enroll in your local community college instead, and take second-year college courses that will be relevant to your major. If you want to be a business major, take accounting I and II, microeconomics, and business computer IS. If you want to be pre-health, take organic chemistry I and II, microbiology, and anatomy & physiology. If you want to be engineering, take University Physics II, Calculus II, Calculus III and an intro to engineering course. If you want to be computer science, take all those except the intro to computer science course instead of the intro to engineering.

This all sets you up nicely to start your freshman year of college as a JUNIOR, with roughly 60 credit hours (or more) when you first walk into your dorm room. It still allows you to be well rounded in high school and be in sports or whatever you like to do. Imagine that... being only 20 years old and starting your career (or perhaps health professional school)... nice, huh? I wish I had done that. Oh well, I'll do that with my kids when I have kids.

You're allowed to all that though in the quality school districts. I've seen plenty of students take Alg II and Geometry concurrently in order to get to Calculus by Senior year. I've private tutored as a side hobby, and it's mainly been students from great school districts so I'm not sure how it is in others. Obviously classes like Calc BC and Physics C are not offered everywhere. I tutored one inner city student but she was homeschooled (good for her) and I never got a chance to see how the school she would've been zoned to did things. She was very bright, but very behind so I imagine the schools there are as as advertised.

As far as your idea of combining four math classes into three is concerned, not a bad idea. I think there are just too many students who think math is "dumb" who would get overwhelmed unfortunately.

Hurricane Irma

tbh storm hasn't hit any major large cities so there's nothing for TWC geeks to masturbate too. like thispego said, those meteorologists love to take the moral high ground, but they love their destruction and mass casualties

, i'd have my kids in calc BC and stats by freshman year in HS... once they start middle school, they need to be taking summer courses tbh. No more being a little kid

Looks like Jeff might have the eye pass over him this time too

LOL that 's true. Just like I remember watching the WTC coverage live and I was counting the people jumping out of the buildings. The Mexican stations wouldn't cut away like the American ones did with jumpers.

That water looks borderline toxic. Is that really how water in the gulf is?

you cannot drink sal er anyhow

I think that part of the gulf is normally crystal clear but there's an algae that grows that changes the appearance of the color from above.

This is the time to start checking Jeff out. He's something like 10 miles from the eyewall.

LOL some Florida meth head went to Jeff's car and started shouting him down for being out in this storm

[baseline bum]

Here comes the eye wall. LMAO that meth addict, I hope she got back in her trailer.

what a bust of a hurricane.

what a bust of a hurricane.

Mexico Mexico got hit with an 8.0 though..:sad

what a bust of a hurricane.

Well there was that part about it obliterating Barbuda, doing a bunch of damage in Sint Maarten, completely raping Cuba, and the storm surge doing some really nasty damage in the Keys.

[SnakeBoy]

I guess Jeff got bored and went home

Is Jeff the best storm chaser out there?

Nah, probably not even close. The only reason he got such crazy footage of Harvey is because he badly misjudged it's landfalling intensity and it almost killed him.

IMO the best chasers right now are Basehunters. They almost always get a storm if one pops off and are usually in good position. They're more of a tornado chasing crew though. I was actually surprised to see Jeff go after these two.
