But we arent thats the issue. The system in place does not compare things properly. We have standardized tests for tree climbing but none for swiming. And the newest issue now is that theyre making students climb trees facing outwards with weights on them with this common core method they just crapped out. While…

That does beg to ask the question: Is it the East Asian study habits or is it the East Asian work habits that had a bigger impact on that extreme success? They do go hand in hand to an extent I will give you that. But, how much of that success is due to the cultural difference that East Asians approach these…

I find we can learn a lot about the brain and how to absorb information from the East Asian education system but the problem is that their education system and employment situation are completely different from what we have in the West. From what I understand getting into the right high school/university sets you up…

No time for superfluous language to make you feel respected. Slouching has health benefits and the whole stand up straight bullshit came from a misunderstanding of how the spine works. I dont have any kids but they are not getting Ipads they are getting Ipod touches retrofitted to look like PipBoys. I think its…

Hey geezer pull your pants down from your armpits. You’re obviously cutting off the blood flow to your brain.

One of the issues is that the tests being given are wrong on many levels. They are horribly written, horribly implemented and are tied into peoples paychecks. It doesnt check which educational system works, its enforcing a rote memorization method which we know does not work here. If we were to truly compare students…

Thats the problem. Due to the weight of the tests and fuckery of it you can ONLY teach rote memorization. It may fly in Japan where you just got to get into the right school eventually but here in the US that is a major issue.

I recall a few years ago talking to a friend whose little sister was about to take one of the first waves of the new standardized tests for high schoolers. Kids were coming down sick with shingles and shit from the stress. I also recall back in Jr high that my most chill teacher flipped and turned real serious when it…

Dont most teenage/college girls dress like Han Solo nowadays?

It appears to be on the edge of a residential district. There are some Train tracks next to it as well but that becomes background noise after a few weeks. Also with Australia being a socialist utopia one can assume that those trains dont make too much noise either due to pollution ordinances.

This test holds no water. I know gay guys who love tits but are definitely all about the cock.

"This is gonna be hilarious"

ah my teenage years. I still remember running my racket selling loosies, black and mild cigars and answers to spanish tests. We really were self destructive back then. I would sleep through first period and be drunk by third running my own little mini criminal empire.

Went on my first cruise about a year ago. It was in the middle of december and we were the first cruise to be able to stop at the small island the company owned in about a month. None of the stops were overnight but I am glad we got to spend a few hours on that small island. And like people are suggesting go on…

Its a knock off of a Brock Lesnar shirt(EAT SLEEP CONQUER REPEAT, EAT SLEEP SUPLEX REPEAT, etc) and some stores do offer screen printing services. Most dont do white text on black though.

It was actually The Taskmaster trying to get rid of the competition.

Maybe it was his thumb?

There was an article about professional athletes who do just fine but theyre professional athletes. When I was a teen(judeo-christian upbringing) playing football I wouldnt fast during season because I didnt want to pass out at the line of scrimmage.

Steel toed boots AND overalls yes. Just the boots not so much.

Its admirable that she does what she does while wearing what we consider a handicap. She IS at a disadvantage and still manages to put in a great performance on a global stage. Thats admirable.
