2nding rask's assessment of IB i only started it because the sales pitch included that the state would pay for your college tuition if you got your IB diploma in FL. my mom never picked up on this fact when we moved to NC and i told her "i was only doing the pre-IB, not actual IB, stuff due to the carrot of free college... in florida". im weirdly defensive about it because of my 11th grade american history class; it taught me how to write papers and our textbook was zinn's a people's history of the united states.

PostNouveau posted:It's also just a legal sheen they can put over segregated classrooms. In NYC specifically, Bloomberg eliminated the thing that allowed teachers to just say "Hey this kid is smart, let them in" and replaced it with an "objective" standardized test, and black/latino GT enrollment fell more than 50%. yea I remember one of my first tangible lessons in 'oh right America is still very actively racism driven' was wondering aloud why my friend who was from Nigeria wasn't in the GT course when we got about the same grades he was also a well read little nerdlinger like me and he was just like 'come on man you know why' and that was a fun little 'oh right that thing where this country loving sucks for anyone not in power' moment for my young brain.

yea finding out 'lol I was in GT, it did nothing but give me an eternal inferiority complex and anxiety and was terrible for my school proper' is a common CSPAM experience is 100% the least surprising reveal possible, GT programs were made to churn out kids told they're naturally smart because they can do tests well who quickly realize that in no way actually measures intelligence and hey maybe this whole dumbass system is a loving scam. The ones who think GT is a meritocracy are D&D posters, obvs.

Has there been any word from Democratic leadership on plans to start laying the groundwork for 2022? Now that they see the train coming hopefully they can take action to at least try to prevent the disaster. At the very least they should have enough money to try whatever they want. ActBlue is a monster. We completely destroy Republicans in small donations. Democrats made $90 million in the just the weekend after RBG's death. So we've given them the means to shoot their shot, maybe it works out, maybe it doesn't. lol

AP ends up being kinda pointless when you can just straight up take college credit classes in high school like I did with English and it was simultaneously less pointlessly rigorous than my AP classes and also more educational.

Raskolnikov38 posted:IB classes are such a scam lol, colleges rarely accept them as credits i thought that the only real benefit of ib courses was that they transferred internationally, so if you have to move to the us for a couple of years for work and then go back to wherever all of the classes your kids took still count. the one school with an ib program in the area is also the one typically attended by the children of consul generals for this reason

I'm reading a politico story on unemployment comp & today I learned that under obama enhanced u/e comp was +$25/week & under trump it was +600/week. and that's when dems had a solid senate majority, not like last year when they only held the house.

I asked to do this but apparently Memphis was very against this. No running start style programs or anything. That's the biggest fuckin poo poo about education. It entirely depends what zip code you were in to what is available to you. My principal literally told me that if I even paid for college classes on my own, she wouldn't honor them as credits. Jokes on you, dickhead. I moved across the country all alone and ended up having to finish high school by taking free community college classes instead since your dipshit school district never took the abuse seriously that I and my siblings reported constantly. They seemed so taken aback when I withdrew myself from school after my dad had a psychotic break and threated to kill us all. mandatory reporters my rear end. silicone thrills has issued a correction as of 18:30 on Oct 9, 2021 |

I was in IB for like three months. I dropped out because it was unbearable, and eventually graduated high school from a Catholic cult school. I am not sure what I learned in either place, but the cult was funnier and the students and faculty had more personality despite being far right insane people. The principal of the Catholic school (which wasn't actually a Catholic school because it was too hosed up for the Church to approve) would routinely cut days short and declare that the entire high school class was going out for ice cream instead. He was a misogynist Republican, but he inexplicably had pretty left views on criminal justice.

silicone thrills posted:I asked to do this but apparently Memphis was very against this. No running start style programs or anything. Yeah, the real problem I encountered with schools is the mass, mass differences in how districts deal with student trauma, and how important that was, way more than this Gifted-Talented discourse now. Going to elementary school in the nineties during the peak of Self Esteem Culture was just such a trip because educators could not get it through their heads that a kid could be smart and emotionally troubled at the same time. It just became this frantic effort to get me on some type of medication so they could rectify the difference and get back to getting my test scores without dealing with my fights with other kids because they couldn't understand why a kid who'd been molested might have difficulty relating to his peers. It was just such a trip to be treated like "a problem kid" in that setting and then in high school have to drop out of classes because of my mental issues hospitalizing me and yet the administration just being, "Yeah, let Probably Magic be in Beta Club, who gives a poo poo, he's a good kid." Like, to tie it back to G/T convo, this is why there's kids who just aren't interested in learning, is they just get pegged early on as "nonstarters" and they're still gonna be treated like that G/T classes or no as long as test culture and the like permeates schools, so they internalize that and give up. It's all about separating the future prison-industrial complex or exploited worker demographic from the ones with "potential." I hate our education system so much.

I had completely forgotten about that, that's incredible. The first year I got unemployment I didn't really understand how it worked and stupidly filed right after my first contract job ended, which meant I got about $30/week of UI since I hadn't Paid Into the system yet. And then the Obama bonus was $25 on top of that if I was even eligible , lol. Under Trump I would have crushed it
