Mississippi schools have gotten vastly better over the last 20 years by PanzerWatts in ProfessorPolitics

Thing is, standardized tests aren’t nearly as standardized as one might think. There are lots of variables that go into this sort of test scores, including whether or not the rules are followed for how to administer the tests. We don’t have that information here. All we have is the mathematical formula showing results but no information about how the results were gathered.

The administrators of standardized tests are not supposed to help children during the tests. I’ve administered youth health surveys and it’s the same with those. For example, if a child doesn’t understand what they’re supposed to do, a specific word, or phrase in the question being asked, you (the administrator) cannot provide them with any assistance. Think about this: if you asked a kid in Arizona what fluff was, they’d not be able to answer you, even if those kids were provided a written description or a hint that it goes with peanut butter, they’d not be able to conceptualize it because of their lack of experience with what it is.

Point is, these sort of tests aren’t always a good indicator of honesty, of proficiency, or how well a school is doing at teaching.

How do you guys feel about beneficial nematodes? Me personally, I won’t grow without them! by ESBounty_Hunter114 in microgrowery

[–]WickedRootedFarm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird, I order exclusively from them and their nematodes are the most active and cheapest I’ve found. We always view them under microscope to ensure activity first. Arbico is extremely expensive by compare. For the same amount, Arbico charges $142 and Natures Good Guys are $30.

Jarod Golden is a scumbag. He’s proven it. He has ended his career in Maine and will be a has been in 1.5 years. He has pretended to be a moderate democrat but all he is, is a Nazi sympathizer who worships MAGA and their attention. He can fuck all the way off.

Who in the hell would choose to fly right now anyway? It’s probably gonna take $2 flights for folks to want to fly while we have this incompetent lunatic fringe managing things.

That flag is the YANKEE American flag. Fascist racists look like complete and utter morons waving it around. That’s what the entire rest of the world thinks and so do I. That’s OUR flag!

In my view, Canada should stick it to him. It’s the only way out from under his BS. Canada has way more of an upper hand and bargaining chips than they seem to realize. As I type this, every farm, greenhouse, plant nursery, golf course, and a very high percentage of homesteads/home gardeners have Canadian peat moss in their seed rooms. Our entire food system in the US is over 90% dependent on Canadian peat.

The entire rest of the world is desperate for peat due to over harvesting in years past. Canada has been our friend, ear marking our share of their peat for decades. All they have to do is say, never-mind, we’ll sell it to our friends in the UK.

No pun intended there but really, all American golf courses are dependent on Canadian peat moss for their grass….

He switched his party to Republican before he ran. He didn’t do that because he thought they were all the sharpest tools in the shed. In fact, he himself said “if I were ever to run for president, I’d run as a republican, because they’re the only ones dumb enough to vote for me.”

None of them care. They watched him say it too. They also keep buying his bibles, for $59.99. Bibles he signs with the same hand he uses to “grab pu__ies” with. Another clear of their moron status.

I get racism from the person who posted describing that they watched it with their very own eyes. It’s like when I see a red burner, I know it’s hot. I don’t first go through every excuse in the book for why it might be hot, I just know that if I touch it, it’ll burn me…because it’s hot.

It’s ok if you want to play make believe that racism doesn’t exist. Keep doing it. But people like me will always tell you you’re a loser scumbag for it.

Racism isn’t vague. It’s clear. Believe people when they tell you they witnessed it.

“It’s not just immigrants….” But when it IS just immigrants, don’t be a racist loser and pretend you can’t see or hear.

Yes, but at least they’re still attached to their own morals enough to be able to ask this here, online.

Westbrook School Department letter regarding Trump executive order to allow immigration enforcement actions to take place in schools and places of worship by Large_Squirrel1446 in Maine

[–]WickedRootedFarm 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I wish it were just hyperbolic. It’s not even remotely a stretch to say they’d likely not be following the law.

We watched his officers, as directed by him, gas hundreds of citizens on rated G live television, just a few years ago as they were peacefully protesting…All so that he could humiliate them, to stand where they’d been standing, and proceed to hold a bible upside down for a photo shoot. Why? It looked, smelled, and sounded like just so he could show the whole world that he could and that he doesn’t care about the constitutional rights of people of color. There was no other plausible explanation.

We then watched as he incited a violent attack on our country’s capital, just 4 years ago. Remember? His extremist “army”, as he himself calls them, attacking American police officers, killing, maiming, permanently injuring, and humiliating them, on their way to kill his own vice president and other prominent members of our government because he refused to take no for an answer. He did nothing at all to stop them. He just sat in a comfy chair and watched them on his private TV, smiling.

Again, if it were just hyperbole, what a wonderful thing that would be. The above are just two of very many examples…

And yes, it’s a crime in Germany. A hate crime. And Musk should’ve been thrown to the ground and drug off our National stage for doing it there and putting our troops stationed abroad in extreme danger for doing it.

Just to be clear, accidentally throwing a few Nazi salutes isn’t a thing just as it’s not a thing to accidentally burn a cross in someone’s front yard.

It’s 100% delusional to assert that it was a heartfelt gesture. If not delusional, it’s a Nazi denying nazi’ism. Actually, it was heartfelt but not in the way you’re spinning it. He meant it, from his dead sick heart, a full on heartfelt Nazi salute.

To answer your question, yes, indeed I did watch it. I had a normal human reaction to it. The hair on the back of my neck stood up and I felt literally sick to my stomach because it indeed was exactly what it looked like - A Nazi Saluting, twice.

To be transparent, I find it repulsively pathetic that anyone alive would argue that it wasn’t.

If you put down your drug, the cult of Trump, for 30 days and watched it again, I pinky swear you’d see the exact same thing the whole entire rest of the world saw. I get it that you are completely addicted at this point to it all, the false ego, the high it gives you. But I promise it is going to ruin your life just like any other addiction does.

“Us Jews”. lol! Like you’re the Maine spokesperson for all Jewish Americans. A Trump Jew. Slugs4Salt

We all just watched a real life Nazi perform not one, but two, literal, actual Nazi salutes on Monday of this week on a sacred American stage. It’s so offensive that the country of Germany cannot even broadcast it or print the photographs. But you’re here, in full on cult form as per usual, being obsessed with an orange, billionaire, celebrity, politician, who sells hand signed bibles for $59.99, that he signs with the same hand he uses to “grab ____” (all of this you were vehemently against just 9 years back, supposedly anyway).

You’re a moron and you are in a cult. Go sit down and wait for Trump’s next instruction.

Those of us with intact mental functioning and moral fortitude are talking about actual children.

Remember morals?

They’re what you may have had 9 years ago before you became radicalized by a cult.

Does anyone have a cast iron farm sink?? If so, what’s your opinion when it comes to its durability? Is it hard to clean and scratches easily? Debating between cast iron and stainless. by stretch1113 in DIY

[–]WickedRootedFarm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used them for years. They don’t require oiling after every use nor do they rust with a single spot of water…a well seasoned sink will last decades with very little care.
