evil_bunnY posted:Holy gently caress is there no such thing as HS accreditation? There is--or something like it. It's just not a single national standard. And honestly, you're not going to be able to make it equal across the board. The farming community with 30 students isn't going to be able to support a curriculum as robust as a larger, more affluent town. Using a nearby community college is a pretty good use of resources. And other than the admissions at a more competitive university, no one really cares how good your high school was.

Before I moved to Florida I lived in the Port Richmond area of Philadelphia and the public schools there (at the time no idea what it's like now) were no poo poo like 4 grade levels ahead of the loving trash rear end Florida school I was going to at the time. Like they straight up didn't teach you multiplication with double digit numbers or long division until the 7th loving grade

My client company recently did a job for the Air Force Civil Engineers at Patrick AFB for mobile crane operator training. We're currently getting pissy calls from the job contact asking for a receipt. We don't have a receipt because his credit card was declined. He has yet to understand the connection.

It wasn't even possible to take 100% of the AP courses offered even if you took nothing else.

Yeah, my own school near Orlando was very well-regarded and continuously maintained an A grade, as well as tons of other accolades and a few records. It depends a lot on where you are. Central Florida is the most progressive and left-wing part of the state, to a degree that rivals some Yankees, and is extremely LGBT friendly as well as fairly wealthy. But a lot of the rural areas between major cities are poor and dumb as poo poo. chitoryu12 fucked around with this message at 00:45 on Jul 19, 2014 |

If it weren't for the "alternate" highschool the school district I went through would probably have a ~95% graduation rate. I can't remember what their grad rate is but it was pretty dismal last time it got posted.

As my sister says, "The further north you go, the more southern it gets." The far north of Florida and all of the featureless rural areas between major cities are pretty typical white trash. The majority of Central Florida, especially Orlando, is a left-wing mecca with tons of wealthy neighborhoods for miles. Tampa and St. Petersburg are two big western beach towns, with St. Pete being a quintessential "Florida oceanside hangout" town, from the palm trees to the pirate-themed advertising. Miami is essentially a richer, cocaine-infused extension of Cuba.

My kids are currently in the Escambia county public school system and its probably about a year behind the curriculum they were going through in Virginia Beach. My kids are all in the gifted program so they get more challenging stuff than the average student so it may be pretty bad.

Come for the pulp mill stench, stay for the meth! I like parts of the Panhandle. The Ft. Walton area is pretty nice and has some of the top schools in the state (Niceville in particular), and I love Tallahassee.

I went to Catholic grade school for K-5 and I had one of my teachers try to tell me that rats were invertebrates. Then I went to public school and had a high school science teacher tell me the sun was 99% of the mass of the universe. When contradicted by the entire class, she didn't say "oh my bad I meant the solar system," she just ran with her initial statement. NC education is bad.

The other day during a break some students were in the back of class laughing their asses off. I asked what was so funny because I would like to laugh as well. They handed me a note card covered front and back with tiny black handwriting. It was a love/breakup letter they had found in the trash in the smoke pit. I didn't manage to transcribe it before I shredded it (we've had a few hazing issues in other schools and I didn't want people making fun of this poor idiot with me having knowledge of the cause) but it was hilariously pathetic. Think of a dude who has never had a girlfriend. He joins the navy and meets the girl of his dreams. She is in no way attractive but is the first person to touch his peen, so he's in love. They sit next to each other in class and they're ~*so in love*~. The gist of the letter is that they can't be together because the course is too hard and they are distracting each other. Most of the letter is teen angst poo poo about hating himself for having to break up with her and it wouldn't work anyway because of orders and whatnot, but there was one line that stuck out to me. I actually can't get it out of my head and I kinda wanna throw up. "My mind and my hand wanders." This dude was fingerblasting her through her pants in class. Undoubtedly she was giving him an over the pants hand beezy often as well. Maybe that explains why this week they both got academically dropped from training. If they had graduated it would be very likely they could have gotten same orders to Ft. Meade, but now they're in a different school with hundreds of possible duty stations.

What is the nastiest place people have bumped uglies during training that everyone knows of? Best I got is between two dumpsters in the dumpster stall behind an AAFES gas station. Probably tame in comparison to what someone has seen, but it was pretty trashy between those dumpsters.
