It seems like the economy is doing very well under Joe Biden and the Democrats. Is there any reason to be concerned?

I know this is a discussion that wrapped up on the previous page, but for real, I have an advanced degree in physics and it still feels like the skill that was most useful for me there was loving writing. my current career is almost entirely predicated on my ability to communicate with proficiency somewhere above that of a cat with a pencil taped to its tail I have unintentionally wandered into supervising and advising no small number of intern/co-op students. I kinda have a routine for new ones worked out now. After a few weeks, I'll bring up how some of what they are writing can be very confusing for the other party to understand. I'll point out how they could communicate more effectively by putting themselves in the reader's shoes and re-reading their email before sending it. I'm by no means an expert instructor on prose, but this one thing seems to really help new/aspiring professionals out. I learned this because I had a 10th grade English writing teacher who very patiently sat me down and worked on it with me; my life would be very different were it not for his influence. now if I can just figure out how to avoid run-on sentences while posting, without it becoming a chore Potato Salad has issued a correction as of 07:38 on Feb 11, 2024 |

Biplane posted:The material cause is, the people who invented a method to make kids illiterate did so to get money. I think there's an important step in the middle that's 'material' in as much as its key to make the decision. You actively decide not to see if the impact of this change holds true. First 'trust the expert' (whoever told you) then convince yourself it's easy to go back if the gamble doesn't work. Surely 100s of education boards won't letnsomething bad slip by? You're just suggesting an alternative (with millions in marketing). I'd say this has always been the case, but having actual experts who have studied this on boards means a crticial mass won't build. But this means lots of academics or professional teachers with time to study and think, not chase funding or teach 100%. To stretch this out, regulators fill a similar role by being involved enough in critical decision making (standards, guides, audits etc) that if a bad decision is made there's a clear gently caress up. That means personal culpability and hesitancy to make a reckless call. Good things regulators are healthy. While there's mad cash to be made with these idiotic gambles it'll always be an issue. If a society doesn't put enough effort into swimming against that tide they're only ever going backwards. Or, you know, a society could just decide to stop the profit motive.

I literally work directly with the feeder school districts for my university. The kids are alright when it comes to technology and, for the most part, are more than capable of sending a passable email. They're more than happy to pretend they can't to get out of doing work but how is that any different from the average computer toucher?

Not the physics obviously, and it takes a little longer, but I write very good notes on patient encounters and I chart everything I do. I use my assessment and plans to basically send messages to myself in the future. “Consider x…” is a way I tell myself what to do next time I see them, because I’m going to forget my thought process in the next month/300 patients later. It also helps me any time there’s a disagreement or family concern. One of my first mentors banged into my head once to write notes like they’re going to appear on a court room wall and I’ve taken that to heart. My parents made sure until fourth grade I was at the best school they could afford and it was a huge advantage for me reading wise. Also math because I’m pretty sure I was taught something resembling common core in the 90s.

Frosted Flake posted:What was New Math, and what do they teach American kids now? my kid is in 2nd grade and they way they teach math at her school is more algorithm based compared to what people learned in the 80s and earlier. it’s actually pretty cool and it carries over to other fields. I can see how some parents might hate it because it forces them to consider their current understanding of numbers and reluctance to examine the problem differently instead of brute forcing calculations. now, we live in an expensive school district. and with that wealth and stability you get results like my kid’s current math score on some metric is 72% higher than same grade in district;however, it is 90% higher in same grade across the nation. also, she has a single sign in to all these online math programs like Prodigy Math which is a jrpg deck based math program so those same concepts are used to grind you characters. she loves playing it and I taught her to use scrap paper so she keeps that writing/brain connection.
