If u shit at math, take extra classes.

2019-11-21 18:28:02 UTC  

Yeah I've watched his vidoes. You guys like to refer to him and 1984.

2019-11-21 18:28:05 UTC  

or change majors

2019-11-21 18:28:20 UTC  

i was shit at math, but also i was a lazy fuck during my school days, but thats my problem 🤷‍♂️

2019-11-21 18:30:28 UTC  

Definitely if all else fails and ya really ain't good in a field, people should just stop. They endanger their clients when they make mistakes when they actually practice in the field.

2019-11-21 18:30:39 UTC  

Substandard graduates and professionals

2019-11-21 18:31:33 UTC  

What in the hell is 'common core'

2019-11-21 18:31:52 UTC  

I heard a lot about it, but never saw it myself

2019-11-21 18:31:55 UTC  

But I guess that's what progressive schools want. To lower the standard so your quality workmanship turns to 3rd world quality lmao

2019-11-21 18:38:11 UTC  

@ZX not sure where you are from but here in USA "common core" is elementary level maths , basic arithmatic, going into basic algebra and geometry (elementary/middleschool) level math

2019-11-21 18:38:31 UTC  

Is it quality?

2019-11-21 18:38:38 UTC  

though there is AP (advanced Placement) in middle school going into algebra

2019-11-21 18:38:48 UTC  

yes-and-no

2019-11-21 18:38:53 UTC  

depends on both teacher and student

2019-11-21 18:38:55 UTC  

I did AP

2019-11-21 18:38:58 UTC  

And IB

2019-11-21 18:39:05 UTC  

again i had good teachers, but i was a lazy shit as i stated before

2019-11-21 18:39:21 UTC  

i actually did well when i did study , but i just never had the interest when i was younger

2019-11-21 18:39:32 UTC  

potential was there and all - just never applied myself

2019-11-21 18:41:14 UTC  

Do Ivy League schools like Stanford(?), Oxford, Yale still have no-nonsense academics at least in the STEM degrees?

2019-11-21 18:41:22 UTC  

Are you me, @breadmoth?

2019-11-21 18:41:27 UTC  

lol

2019-11-21 18:42:37 UTC  

@beatless i don't see why not, but i don't necessarily think you have to go to an IVY league school either, as they just come off as snobbish - here in TX we have UTD (University of Texas at Dallas), and it is pretty much STEM oriented - as is was essentially started by Texas Instruments

2019-11-21 18:43:21 UTC  

Damnit you are me

2019-11-21 18:43:52 UTC  

So ivy league schools are just elitist? The quality doesnt make that much of a difference (if there is at all)?

2019-11-21 18:44:21 UTC  

i would say so , the course material is no different and professors just as capable

2019-11-21 18:44:26 UTC  

but it is more of the "brand name"

2019-11-21 18:44:45 UTC  

again UTD is STEM oriented and alot of engineers come out of there, but yea , if you say M.I.T .........

2019-11-21 18:44:58 UTC  

Ivy's are good for graduate degrees

2019-11-21 18:45:00 UTC  

people are going to gravitate to M.I.T over UTD because of name recognition

2019-11-21 18:45:16 UTC  

Which schools in your opinion would never fall into the progressive ideology? Unis in republican states?

2019-11-21 18:45:28 UTC  

yea but is M.I.T IVY league? i don't think it is? (citation needed)

2019-11-21 18:45:45 UTC  

and i would imagine a graduate degree / program from M.I.T would be fairly valuable?

2019-11-21 18:46:27 UTC  

It's prestigious enough and is in Cambridge, Mass, like Harvard, so I'd assume so

2019-11-21 18:46:52 UTC  

@beatless
Every university is fallible.

2019-11-21 18:46:56 UTC  

Every single one.

2019-11-21 18:47:40 UTC  

I went to a small university in central Tx (Schreiner)

2019-11-21 18:48:20 UTC  

When I was there, at a tiny school of just about 4k students if you count graduates and postdocs, the rot was already starting to creep in

2019-11-21 18:48:45 UTC  

Now
The only institutions I'd assume to be free of it would be the Academies.

2019-11-21 18:48:56 UTC  

But, good luck getting in to one of them.

2019-11-21 18:49:47 UTC  

This got me thinking, even if a nonwoke foreign student went into a STEM degree, ivy league even. He would be susceptible to the progressive ideology even if he's a damn good engineer, and would espouse/be easier to agree with progressive policies.
