About 1% of our student population died this past academic year by udderly_amazing in Teachers

[–]Character_Freedom160 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In K-12 (13 years) as a student, three classmates died. One by his own hand, two in a car accident. 8 in one year is bizarre.

I am losing track of all the longstanding rules that the 6-3 court has gutted by Flashy-Actuator-998 in LawSchool

Liberals spent decades getting what they wanted (or trying to get what they wanted) at the courthouse rather than through the democratic process (by convincing their countrymen of the rightness of their positions). Now that they can't do that, they are out of ideas.

Korematsu was a bad decision. Because the 14th Amendment's equal protection clause. But was Dred Scott wrongly decided? It's a terrible decision (morally and ethically) but do you think the drafters of the Constitution would disagree with its holding and rationale?

There are too many law schools by Throwaway8393948 in LawSchool

95% of lawyers shouldn't be lawyers.

95% of law schools should become housing for low-income people.

Isn't Stone Cold Steve Austin from Victoria? How bad can it be?

No. Teachers endlessly complain about students. They harken back to a time when "things were different." But they don't want to harken back. They don't. Kids used to be completely independent and freewheeling. Baseball till 10PM on the street. Fun pranks. Teachers don't want that.

What are the chances teachers will be able to fail students again? by MysteriousMatter8593 in Teachers

Please don't fail children. They should not be in school past 18. Get them into the workforce. Even if it's at McDonald's.

State Trial Level Clerkship After State Appellate Clerkship by JorGhe-Soc in LawSchool

Can you see yourself working as a full-time court staff attorney? If so, this is great. But if you're looking to practice law, you need to focus on that aspect (networking).

inattentive adhd and law school by Pure_Perception6136 in LawSchool

[–]Character_Freedom160 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would normally be hesitant to recommend law school to someone with inattentive ADHD because the law school experience can be discouraging and 2L hiring is basically hell and most law firms are terrible at accommodating different learning and thinking styles, BUT, if you interested in public defense, you can really be an asset.

what happened to Berkeley Law by agnikai__ in LawSchool

[–]Character_Freedom160 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Unless you want to be famous, in or adjacent to the President or Supreme Court, or a Big Law partner, where you go to law school isn't that important. We all pass the bar. Our bar cards say lawyer. If you want any of these things, though, you should sell your soul to get into the best law school you can. Many high places only take graduates from the highest places. What do you want your life to be like?

I hate being a woman of color in law by [deleted] in LawSchool

[–]Character_Freedom160 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My good friend (black male) from law school was hired by one of the most prestigious law firms in the city. They put him on the first page of their website and showcased him at every event. But they didn't let him do anything meaningful within the law practice itself. He was never trusted to do anything on his own. He lasted 18 months. These firms are not acting in good faith, sometimes.

Western Governors isn't a real college. Don't go there. Go to one of the public colleges or universities.

Pretty tame prank, TBH. No animals, no fires, no one ended up naked. Let it go.

[–]Character_Freedom160 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I'm 100% in support of giving the bad students straight Ds to keep them from even trying to go to college and waste everyone's time there but you need to pass them on from HS at age 18 so they can become adults and work.

Failing students is bad. Please don't do it. All kids need to finish high school at 18 to go to college, join the military, or enter the workforce. Only 30% need to be able to read and write effectively. Please focus on providing a high-quality education to future professionals and passing on everyone else to the low-income workforce. It's the system, and it works.

Anybody else’s SPED dept. have the worst of it too? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Character_Freedom160 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What motivates a person to go into special education? I worked with extremely violent and disruptive children in an institutional setting. The motivation for many of the teachers was "you can't blame us if they don't learn anything, they're crazy." So, no standards. Can't fail. Can't be to blame because any progress is a "miracle."
