lol 😄

2020-01-10 12:38:42 UTC  

No ironically you didn't misspell 'electrons', but 'from'

2020-01-10 12:38:55 UTC  

dangit.

2020-01-10 12:39:07 UTC  

TBH, English spelling is retarded, so you are forgiven

2020-01-10 12:39:07 UTC  

i'm not a good speller.

2020-01-10 12:39:25 UTC  

I misspelled a ton of words even though I was the bookworm in my class

2020-01-10 12:39:36 UTC  

that it is, just wish there was a better option because spoken english is the best!

2020-01-10 12:40:10 UTC  

yah, people seem to think reading and writeing are related, not as much as one would think they are.

2020-01-10 12:40:30 UTC  

spoken is also retarded because there are so many of them and the standard variety proves useless in many a context

2020-01-10 12:40:53 UTC  

I like how overly self-conscious everyone is now over their spelling

2020-01-10 12:41:13 UTC  

I try to be anyway unless someone is being a jerk about it.

2020-01-10 12:45:47 UTC  

- We forget what we don't research ourselves.
- We forget what we don't use.
So why don't we scratch years off public school?

2020-01-10 12:46:05 UTC  

Why do we make children repeat classes?

2020-01-10 12:46:21 UTC  

Why do we grade classes that don't make sense to be graded?

2020-01-10 12:47:00 UTC  

That's another thing, teachers just shuffling bad students through to graduation to avoid dealing with them

2020-01-10 12:47:14 UTC  

Yeah, although I'd argue that's a good thing.

2020-01-10 12:47:18 UTC  

Those teachers see through the shit system.

2020-01-10 12:48:36 UTC  

And it's not only that

2020-01-10 12:49:02 UTC  

The way teachers teach is also really bad, because children have different approaches, or different interests at different times.

2020-01-10 12:49:22 UTC  

And the standardized teaching methods ignore all that, leaving many children with great potential behind.

2020-01-10 12:49:32 UTC  

one thing I always assumed about school is the social enviroment that is school doesn't really apply anywhere else.

2020-01-10 12:49:45 UTC  

Yeah, not anymore.

2020-01-10 12:49:51 UTC  

did it ever?

2020-01-10 12:49:52 UTC  

It used to during the time of factory work.

2020-01-10 12:50:09 UTC  

Public schools have been remade into a purpose built system for girls

2020-01-10 12:50:16 UTC  

like even in factories is the school enviroment really what you can expect form your coworkers?

2020-01-10 12:50:23 UTC  

Schools were literally modelled after factory work, and that worked so long as factories employed a ton of people.

2020-01-10 12:50:53 UTC  

Nowadays people have more options in work life, but public education is still as rigid as ever.

2020-01-10 12:51:05 UTC  

"how do girls learn better" is the only question they ask. Completely ignoring that boys learn differently

2020-01-10 12:51:11 UTC  

Yeah.

2020-01-10 12:51:14 UTC  

that much i do know, the public school system was built to get people ready for the factory work.

2020-01-10 12:51:23 UTC  

I'm actually arguing for a separation of genders in schools.

2020-01-10 12:51:43 UTC  

I would just start with separation of learning styles.

2020-01-10 12:51:52 UTC  

Yeah and learning speed

2020-01-10 12:52:01 UTC  

Bespoke education

2020-01-10 12:52:08 UTC  

My niece goes to a school where the classes overlap, depending on the learning speed of the children.

2020-01-10 12:52:26 UTC  

totaly, stop gradeing kids based on their age and start dealing with the fact that some kids just don't learn as fast.

2020-01-10 12:52:35 UTC  

It's absolutely awesome, the children get to skip ahead or lag behind basically at will.

2020-01-10 12:52:49 UTC  

Exactly as their interests desire and their skills allow.

2020-01-10 12:52:57 UTC  

yup yup
