weren't they doing some poo poo where they wouldn't let people buy out their lease and the explanation was they were going to use those vehicles for their taxi fleet?

you think you’ll be able to hook jonnycab directly up to uber? service will require a monthly fee and percentage of gross revenue

but if you buy now you can lock in the price fsd style. this also lets you book the revenue w/o ever delivering the service

yeah this approach is called "unschooling" and it's popular with some of the more eccentric homeschoolers and it's how you get nine year olds who can't read the kids' menu at a restaurant.

My understanding is that the reason we got the "balanced reading" approach that parents are griping about now is that they looked at how kids who read effectively read, and it was really different from kids who were struggling to read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balanced_literacy. Anyway, apparently some states curricula leadership decided that all kids should read like the effective readers and not emphasize the phonics so much, so we get to where we are now where the system seems designed to support the kids who were going to be effective readers anyway and gently caress over people who need more support.

My older kid just magically read without instruction of any kind, starting at 3 but fully fluently at 4 and it was somewhat upsetting. We were worried about hyperlexia and that she was just decoding sounds without comprehension, but it turns out that she really was getting it, she's autistic, and it was just a major splinter skill for her. We didn't get the autism diagnosis until 5, but I can see why peoples individual experiences about how kids learn to read is pretty worthless and you have to look at population-level metrics.

i learned to read early because my stay-at-home mom read to me and provided books and encouragement. i believe i owe the majority of my early childhood development to her, not to any teacher or teaching philosophy, even though i attended normal public school. i'm not endorsing homeschooling by weirdos, but it sure sucks that both parents working is now the default

i learned to read by myself according to my parents. in 1st grade my teacher told them "he can read fast, sure, but he doesn't understand the words he's saying" which was absolute bullshit.

now my son in law is 9, cannot read without speaking, and still uses siri dictation to write even the most basic poo poo. it scares me a bit but i guess different people learn at different speed

Emergency confection port.

in Japan they call people who can’t hand-write for poo poo because they only ever use computer input wapuro-baka or word processor idiots

reading characters and writing them out with a pen are two separate brain-things as you learn quickly, I can read a paragraph of text and type a paragraph of text but my brain BSODs if I try to write my name on a piece of paper because I just never physically write Japanese text

your children or stepchildren.

stepson = spouse's son from a previous relationship
son-in-law = your child's husband

son in law always means the husband of one your kids

my nephew was diagnosed with dysgraphia, which i had never heard of before. since it affects his ability to write, significantly, he's allowed to use a laptop in class for his assignments, using dictation.

this is all wild and new to me since i'm reasonably sure that even as late as the early 2000s if you had significant difficulty writing, they just made you write more.
