A lot of people will say that you should be able to choose your career path when you're young and specialize into the field you'll be going into as an adult. So that you're only learning what you're already really interested in. Though I feel like they don't fully appreciate the implications of a system where you decide your life course at ~13 and any attempt to switch careers will put you 5+ years behind your peers. They just seem to resent the fact that they had to experience boredom as a child.

Look either you can correctly predict the path of the entire US job market for the next 3 decades or you deserve to deliver Doordash to the people who can

Saw this posted in another thread: Yeah, teachers love it when you send your sick kids to school. I can always tell who dosed their kid up to hide a fever/runny nose/etc if by lunch the kid starts showing all the symptoms out of the blue. I usually ask them what color the medicine was that mommy gave them that morning.

Increasing the likelihood of other kids getting too sick to go to school for the sake of attendance. The system works

Look, schools are a good way for children to develop disease resistance that will make them more sturdy and less likely to take sick days as adults.

I remember being a student and a few times during assemblies they'd give a student a certificate for perfect attendance. Not just for a single year, but a career spanning K-12 perfect attendance. I can imagine a parent somewhere being very proud of this, "by god junior may not be able to read good but damnit he will be there every single day! that's how you get ahead in life."

I'm just jealous really, shouldn't hate on such an achievement. I also liked not going to school on occasion though. Imagine never experiencing a sick day.

There's a thing with some parents where you've absolutely got to put everything possible on Susie's college application and perfect attendance is one that stands out. I've literally been on hiring/promotion boards where two candidates are completely equal except one had a single thing they had done/achieved that the other hadn't and that's what got them the job/promotion.

My kids' schools give prizes to kids with perfect or near perfect attendance every few months, including candy and small toys. It's terrible because the kids that don't get prizes feel left out for something that's out of their control. It's not like kindergartners are deciding for themselves whether or not they're going to school. As I understand it the schools get heavily penalized for lower attendance rates and this is the inevitable response from the school administration.

I understand, but it is funny for me to imagine that someone gets picked for a position or promotion because of grade school attendance. I'm sure it happens. When I'm on the interview panel, I'm giving more weight to the person that had a few sick days. Maybe someone with a little lived experience would be good to have as part of this going concern. Put that on your college entrance essay.

In my state school funding is impacted by attendance because it's determined by the average number of kids that are in the building and kids that are home sick don't count. Not sure if that's a nationwide formula or just a stupid red state thing.

Yep, I agree. Don't hire perfect candidates if you have a choice. Something doesn't add up. vvvvvv what, are you going to fake an embossed 8.5"x11" piece of paper?? palindrome has issued a correction as of 22:59 on Apr 12, 2024 |

My kid got partnered with an autistic kid who was raised by YouTube and has not attended school at all because in his home country they didnt really know what to do with him but he didn't cause problems when he was in front of his iPad. Now in grade 6 the Quebec school system is trying to integrate him into French school and he doesn't speak any French and also doesn't speak his native tongue of Spanish but only a dialect of English he learned from YouTube. My kid also speaks YouTuber English and he has a lot of patience for weird kids so he's the de facto translator. Not sure what the point of this post is other than education is such a grab bag of humanity it's a wonder we have a system for it at all.

there was an item on the news today about how 13-year-olds are now able to register for Whatsapp without breaking TOS, and it was a longwinded way of saying that smartphones are generally loving up child development and I imagine this is nothing new to teachers and/or parents itt, but either way, I'm realising just how hosed I would have been if I'd grown up a few years later when smartphones became ubiquitous around the world. My brain's already hosed from being terminally online, but it would've been hosed a lot earlier if I'd grown up with a computer in my pocket. of course, if you try to ban smartphones and mandate Nokia bricks for kids in American schools, you'll probably have parents saying this infringes on their liberty or some stupid poo poo like that

my wife and i are in strong agreement that if our kids have a phone in school it's going to be a dumb one lol. having a smart phone in your pocket just seems so detrimental to learning.

Put that on your college entrance essay. Well, I was talking about my time in the military (not much different than public education!). It often came down to physical fitness scores sometimes when you had candidates with the exact same education level, qualifications, schools, etc.

It's probably well deserved, can't exactly fault them on this matter Real hurthling! posted:note taking now is maybe take a photo of the board if it seems important enough This... doesn't actually bother me that much? I never took notes in school and it was not the problem I had with it.
