Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current President of the United States. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality.

Wow. That isn't even a burn, that's just plain baffling.

How can someone's views be that far from what they see themselves as? I read this loving thread and I'm still going "wait you think that would ever work?".

with lack of introspection and perspective its easy to hold opinions/beliefs without recognizing that they contradict your stated position, especially if you only loosely adhere to an ideology because it's the opposite of something that you've been told was supposed to be bad, without really understanding either

for instance my brother identifies alternately as a libertarian and an anarchist (lol) and thinks socialism is evil because he has spent his life uncritically internalizing rightwing propaganda, but when i explain basic left-economic policies without explicitly mentioning "this is how communism works" he agrees more often than not

None of the people concern trolling about that gave a single hot wet gently caress about learning outcomes for poor kids prior to the pandemic. Not a single one.

I used to think improving education was all teacher training and evidence based practices but that's really something subsidiary to providing teachers incentive to train and adopt new instructional methods and classroom management techniques.

And paying them more so that they feel valued and willing to improve

But thats pretty simplistic and just my gut feeling. Also some teachers need to learn about behavior especially for classroom management

quote:

CHINESE national oil company CNOOC and France’s TotalEnergies have completed China’s first yuan-settled liquefied natural gas (LNG) trade through the Shanghai Petroleum and Natural Gas Exchange, the exchange said on Tuesday (Mar 28).

Approximately 65,000 tonnes of LNG imported from the UAE changed hands in the trade, it said in a statement.

TotalEnergies confirmed to Reuters that the transaction involved LNG imported from the UAE but did not comment further.

CNOOC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

China has placed an emphasis on settling oil and gas trades in yuan in recent years in a bid to establish its currency internationally and to weaken the US dollar’s grip on world trade.

Russia has increasingly embraced the yuan amid Western sanctions.

During a visit to the Saudi capital Riyadh in December President Xi Jinping announced that China would “make full use” of the Shanghai exchange as a platform to carry out yuan settlements of oil and gas trades. REUTERS

I mean I think we probably have to start with returning schools to being about education and (this sounds cheesy but whatever) giving kids knowledge and useful skills and not making it about being a place to plop kids while parents work (which is what all the poo poo about reopening schools during covid was actually about). I'm not saying blame teachers I'm saying quit cutting art and music and PE programs

if you refuse to even consider things like intelligence scores and academic testing then youre ignoring the actual needs of kids and frankly youre not really committed to acadmic justice

it gets worse beyond a certain point high intelligence is a detriment to success. things happening early create gaps in ability that causes frustration and anxiety. and learning differences generally are tied up with emotional regulation differences. to messy it up even more is twice exceptional it’s not like one can’t also have learning disabilities, possibly even multiple learning disabilities.

if there isn’t universal testing minority gifted kids that’s aren’t identified can look like oppo defiant problems or worse.

NeatHeteroDude posted:

The assessments used by classroom teachers to quantify academic performance usually aren't anything close to standardized and a poorly written assessment on adding 2 digit numbers can return the same score as an assessment for long division if you administer them to the same student population.

When teachers suck at assessment (many do and refuse to read any research about how to do it better) you end up with kids selected for the ability to process and respond to a tests' neuroses instead of kids who actually know how to generalize and apply knowledge and skills

I feel like i had a lot of good teachers in high school that did a lot of good for me and my classmates ability to learn, but our school sucked like hell at standardized tests and I would watch people I respected as smarter than me just completely collapse when taking them. The AP exam score day was like the trenches at vicksburg with all the devastation.
