So brass if you had to help the students who were struggling with math, did you get paid for doing the teachers job for them. It just seems like a way to drag gifted students down to a lower level just to bring others up to pass a class they don’t really understand and possibly shouldn’t be passing. The school I went to encouraged students to approach teachers out of class to get help if they didn’t understand a concept. I did fairly well at maths at school, but then I got hit by a bus that had University level Calculus written on the front I think, it was a little hard to read having being squashed like a bug on it’s windscreen.
So what is the standard class sizes in US schools?
Do most of the teacher care about imparting their knowledge or is it just a job and they aren’t to fussed?
So is getting your driver license in the US or Germany really easy then or do people just learn enough to squeak passed the test requirement. Don’t get me wrong there are people the world over who struggle to drive well, but I think we may have tougher requirements here for example every single kind/style of parking must be completed successfully and to pass a 3 point turn here, you need to do it on the road, no driveways or business parking lots. you start at one kerb and turn hard till you reach the opposite kerb then reverse back till you have room then drive forward to complete the turn. Job done. Whilst constantly checking for traffic obviously, and making sure the person testing you sees you checking for traffic, gotta keep the person with the red pen happy and yourself alive by not doing such turns in front of a 40 ton concrete truck. 😉
Ok Brass is never allowed to do a witch laugh again, I had ear bud in and he caused my eardrums to explode.
Today’s question if you could change the colour of something in nature, what would you change and any particular reason you chose that? eg: turning the sky green.
Re: Orchestra pizza days. Is this universal or something? We had pizza days for orchestra practice, too! There was one time when I ate 2 and a half kebab rolls because I had one, one friend couldn’t eat theirs entirely, and the pizza place had accidentally made one extra and nobody else wanted it. 😀
Re: School cafeteria authoritarianism! I was reminded of a time I was forced to drink clumpy potato milk because I had accidentally dropped a crushed potato into my milk glass. I wanted to go empty the glass to get new milk, but a teacher forced me to drink it while I was gagging from the texture hell!
Re: Brass, the teachers’ pet. “We are the same person” intensifies. I was also favored by the teachers and did well in school. Though I have to say that university level math has really humbled me.
Reminder: Jin wants Aki to do her witch laugh. Happy Early Halloween or something.
Comment question time!
What’s a question about the universe/reality you’d like a definite answer for?
