damn i can't believe that black kids are still using the term "square biz"
You know how you feel about liberal art people who have easy ass majors? Thats how I feel about s like you who have some easy math classes and want to pat themselves on the back.

I can't speak about the guy himself, but he didn't say anything untrue and I agree with him. HS was a bunch of bull , just a bunch of lazy teachers passing out handouts and telling you to do the work. I only had maybe one or two teachers that you could tell really enjoyed teaching and generally tried to impart wisdom on their students. Most we just lazy assholes coming for the paycheck that could never be question and couldn't explain something in depth for . However, the problem really is the education system, because our entire academic lives before college we're pretty much getting prepped to take TAKS tests or whatever they call it now so our school can look good and get more funding.
That being said, he probably doesn't care about his education and just went on a tirade. But there's always the possibility that he's sincere, we can't know for sure. And if he is then good for him.
I'm a math minor. I took applied matrix analysis this semester.
I've taken just as much math as any engineering major I know and I used to tutor vector calculus
How many classes did you take to get the minor and what are they? I doubt youve taken as much as an engineering major although tbf if you have a minor then you do have some solid maths under your belt.
I teenk that college should require you to take a course in Technical Writing.
The required "2 course in Literature" is what's bull
Absorbed, engaged reading is incredibly beneficial for your brain. Unfortunately most literature classes have the opposite effect, due to teacher and/or subject matter.
imho, that's something you can just do in your spare time. We shouldn't be required to do it if it isn't relative to our major.
Same thing with being required to take History 1 and 2. Being forced to remember what year Ghenghis Khan raped and pillage some village in dirkadirkastan isn't going to help me land a job after i graduate
nevermind.
18 units past calc 2 (came in done w/ Calc 2). I took vector calc, diff EQ, and linear algebra as the 200 level classes and calculus based statistics, matrix analysis and advanced applied analysis as upper division classes.
FTR, business majors who faint when they hear the word calculus piss me off just as much as anybody.
I hated the FFT at first.
Ternary logic is going to be fun. They need to change the third state from maybe though or it's going to be completely counterintuitive. It's not 'maybe' a 1 or 0 necessarily unless you want it to be. Needs to be presented as an independent state.
I remember my 10th grade teacher said we could answer the question, "Why does evil exist?" for bonus on a paper. I got finished early so I wrote it up on the back. Then he told me he was just kidding. er.
that Camelot / Lancelot wanna be savior deserves a spot on the next boondocks episode...

good English teachers actually do make people better thinkers. the problem is there are a load that suck at their job, but that can be said for pretty much any subject. also, there isn't some standard curriculum (that i am aware of), so some people benefit from it more (way more) than others based on the varying curriculum. you are trivializing the importance of knowing how to think and articulate at a time where too many people lack those neccessary tools.
have you ran into the black israelites yet?
Imma check it out.
Dude is a murder/suicide waiting to happen, but likely he'll blog about it and cry.
Having a viable career is beneficial for your brain and the welfare of your family and this nation. Being overly educated in useless is what kills the student loan program and the housing program at the same time.
Can't say anything for sure without seeing anything but that video but if I had to make a judgment call I'd say DOK hit in on the head on the first page here. Pretty much looked my theater class sop re year in HS where we had to write our own monologues. Most of us knew what we were cranking out was garbage but there were a few that pretty much came off exactly like this kid, which is to say clumsily worded because they were flying so high on their own self importance. Probably spent most of that class period writing this little speech instead of doing the work and was really expecting a slow clap send off.
He was upset, but he could have went about it different like some said. Heat of the moment type thing lol. At first I thought he was getting up to stand in front of the class and try to rap the way his hands were moving lol.
Obviously, and sometimes, but that wasn't what I was talking about at all. That has been hashed out ad infinitum the last few years.
college is a scam and those ty degrees are particularly useless and money-wasting according to my s jacob & dok and some others around here, but when i asked for advice on my job/school options a couple days ago, most people who voted in my thread suggested i pick the school option over job, which's still beyond me tbh
