I couldn’t help my daughter with her math in elementary school. I could show her how to get the answers the traditional way, but I couldn’t understand the way she was being taught to do it at school. Made no sense to me. I did force her to learn to spell because they weren’t teaching that to her. She tells me she’s grateful for that too.
My wife got pissed off at me when she was getting her masters in accounting. She couldn’t figure out how to solve a problem to get the answer in the book. I went backward from the answer and showed her how to get it in about two minutes. That’s the last time I ever helped her with homework.
That doesn't seem ironic at all. That's one of the reasons people complain.
No, they complain because they are adults, who know how to do simple math, and the teachers are teaching it a different way that is no better, sometimes worse, than the way it was taught in the past.

And here's a more wonky, but good explanation of why regulating standards doesn't work:No, they complain because they are adults, who know how to do simple math, and the teachers are teaching it a different way that is no better, sometimes worse, than the way it was taught in the past.
If we saw a lot of rising test scores in math, then you might be able to argue that the new method works better. We have not seen such a rise.
This is a nationwide phenomenon that you can trace to the Common Core. This guy nails why, in my opinion:
The Fundamental Problem With Common Core Math
Common Core is not as radical as the New Math of the 1950s, but both make the fatal error of prioritizing the thoughts of adults over those of students.
On Common Core there are 2 issues. First is does it work.No, they complain because they are adults, who know how to do simple math, and the teachers are teaching it a different way that is no better, sometimes worse, than the way it was taught in the past.

Actually, I think the question that needs to be analyzed with any change is: what else needs to change too in order for this to be successful? So maybe you think a new method is better, but if you have to change a large part of the educational system to do it, is it worth it? Maybe, but maybe not.
That’s the problem these days. There aren’t always two sides to a story. He’s a despicable slimeball. Period.
In my school at least we had to stop letting kids take textbooks home because they disappeared constantly or damaged beyond repair.
You can't be this stupid. I refuse to believe it because I want to give you more credit than that.

One of the things happening is that multiple ways of solving a problem are now taught. While the “old way” may work for many kids, the “new way” may make more sense to others. Usually I would say as long as you understand how to get the right answer and can explain your method, I don’t care how you get it. But sometimes standardized testing would give partial credit for correct answer and partial credit for showing how you solved it. And they want a certain method used.
It's frustrating for a parent, Zeke. My district is not the kind you describe.
Ah yes , I'm not referring to this person but in general there is only Zeke's side to everything and that is just the way it is.
Oh I know! I was frustrated as a substitute after I quit, especially in fifth and sixth grade math. I’d usually just call on one of the kids I knew understood it to explain to class. We also occasionally had parent instruction nights when we introduced some new or different skills.
Oddly “book fees” persist.
What? To keep assholes from making false statements?Told you what the goal of this show trial was.
George Floyd's family threaten to SUE Kanye West for overdose claim
Civil rights activist and attorney Lee Merritt said George Floyd's family was considering suing Kanye West, 45, over his claim that Floyd died from a Fentanyl overdose instead of police brutality.www.dailymail.co.uk
Not according to the jury who heard the case, or the medical examiner who testified.
Not sure how this thread got so sidetracked. But back to the original OP, and some of the questions being raised, this guy provides a very good analysis of everything. Including the method they'll likely employ in attempting to dig into his shell companies and hidden assets...
Which one?Apparently this pic is trending in MAGA social media circles, but that isn't Jesus, it's Charles Manson
My kids started watching this guy about a year ago. Some of his videos are pretty good, especially where he goes into major historical cases like the Chicago Seven or Katco vs. Briney (the case that explored why it is illegal to booby trap your home).
He does do the you tube thing, but he's also an Adjunct Professor at Georgetown Law. I think Top 15 Law schools are pretty selective when hiring instructors, even when it comes to the adjunct level. At some point he may give up his law partnership and teach full time.
You can't be this stupid. I refuse to believe it because I want to give you more credit than that.
You're supposed to be a "man of God" and you seem to be defending an absolute scumbag who basically profited off of the deaths of innocent kids and the harassment and persecution of their surviving families. Do you not understand that these people only wanted to be left alone to grieve for their kids without being harassed by lunatics?
There is "no side" for Alex Jones, the trial establishing whether or not he was liable ended in 2021 when the Judge grew tired of his constant attempts to escape responsibility for his actions. He obstructed the process, refused to give the plaintiffs and the court access to requested documents, and tried to game the system. He was a defendant in several lawsuits and after repeatedly ordering him to comply with her orders, the judge felt she had no option except to rule against him which she did. Again that was back in 2021, and the summary judgement meant he was liable...
This is how stupid Crowder and his audience are. Someone literally posted this in the comments...
"Don't forget the judge literally told the jury he was guilty at the start of the trial. How this trial hasn't been thrown out is beyond me. The corruption is too deep."
Of course the judge told the jury he was GUILTY, because this jury's role was to establish the penalty, not determine guilt. Guilt was already established by the judge who presided over his TRIAL and found him GUILTY way back in 2021...
This is no different than any civil or criminal proceeding that has reached the penalty phase. This is the PENALTY phase- THAT is the only JOB the Jury has when things get to that stage.
This website details the entire history of the 4 separate lawsuits filed vs Jones/Infowars, dating back to 2018. You'll see he filed a number of attempts to have the lawsuits dismissed, and multiple Courts in both Texas and Connecticut all REJECTED his attempts. And this includes Judges in Texas (where Infowars is based) during Trump's Presidency...

I just don't see the intelligence needed to pull that off in his posts. He's more just the common clay of the new west. You know... a moron.
