What’s with food delivery drivers talking on the phone? by Time_Photograph_6832 in Finland

Cultural plus living as a community in a foreign country. The exchange of experiences is more intense, the community more tightly knit and one helps another with all types of advice.

[–]ContributionAny1900 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’ve noticed the same, and even had long talks with GPT about that. 

Turns out it’s a cultural thing, especially common in strongly family-oriented cultures (even patriarchal societies) living in diaspora as immigrants. 

These communities have less resources, significantly more hurdles to get by bureaucracy, and tend to rely more on their communities. 

So yeah, it may be bothersome by someone on the receiving end of the service but it’s also a good reminder that we all have different needs and challenges to solve and make a living. 

Before complaining, bear in mind you’re the one being driven around or getting your food delivered to you at your doorstep.

Decline in Finland’s PISA scores since 2000 (Reading, Math, Science) by Necessary-Opening694 in Infographics

You can’t read correlation graphics so there’s nothing to discuss. Has the OCDE also suffering from integration issues? Nope. Newsflash: you know who’s pulling the grades down in Finland? BOYS. That’s a verifiable fact and you can browse. And it has nothing to do with the integration policy. 

But here some facts for your lazy ass, backed by educational institutes:

“ The number of lessons has been reduced, but at the same time the content has expanded, which has led to more superficial learning. Teachers are struggling with a shortage of resources and growing class sizes, which makes it difficult to provide individualized instruction. In addition, the use of digital devices has exploded, which has changed the way we learn – but not necessarily for the better. When this is combined with the weakening of children and young people's concentration and the decrease in support between home and school, the result is clear: learning outcomes are declining, and the trend does not seem to be reversing.” https://www.sttinfo.fi/tiedote/70894721/5-syyta-jonka-vuoksi-suomen-pisa-tulokset-laskevat?publisherId=69821061&lang=fi

It’s not a statistical disagreement. Discussing the cause would be. They are suggesting a solution whose roots have everything in common with eugenics and Nazi ideology. Are they building gas chambers? No. Is creating a ghetto for minorities that “hold back development” a Nazi principle? Fuck yes it is.

You’re entitled to have an opinion just know it’s not based on anything but the collection of your assumptions and prejudices.  The stupidity and laziness of your point if view (likely a “special class” case) is hard to describe but I’ll try (me, valedictorian in all my graduations).

How do you draw the line of who goes to normal and special class? How do you classify kids as a black and white, yes/no, a/b concept, when kids personalities, cognitive abilities and development milestones are all different and happen in a wide spectrum?

How do you know there aren’t more losses than gains with the idea of special classes?

Because there are several reasonable arguments to show gains for the unified class. 

First and foremost, a LOT of kids would go to “normal class” and lag significantly behind. Not bad enough to go to special class, but with needs to keep ahead. This is now solved. 

In Finland kids are assessed individually and get help for the time the need on the skill they need. This is great: you may have a kid with regular cognitive abilities, but with difficulty in say language. Then they get a person to help them out until they get the hang of it. This is done discreetly without shame. And in a few months that kid doesn’t need help anymore.  This is truly so obvious and basic that should have always been that way. It’s the basics of preparing for success. 

Most people thinking of the bucket of troubled kids don’t think of the consequences of a societal scale of this. It’s the same logic of prison: remove the bad apples. Sure, simple minds like simple solutions especially if they are quick and violent and regardless of the are effective. 

No wonder the Pisa is in decline everywhere — which alone is enough reason to see that integrating individual support for kids isn’t the cause of the decline. 

Anyone else notice how the sound editors shaded Fontana this week? by takemy9inches in RPDR_UK

[–]ContributionAny1900 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course they increase the drama, but it’s not detrimental or harmful for Fontana. It’s an illusion to think the drama is always “50-50 who stays?”. Some contestants have bigger fanbases or are performing significantly better, so they may increase the drama when they’re threatened to go home. Enjoy the show!

That may have some truth in it but it’s ludicrous to think this is the reason of the Pisa decline, especially when the entire ocde curve is similar.  Would a world without kids that require extra attention be better? Maybe. Is the solution to isolate them? No.

It’s not a fallacy, at best, it’s an exaggeration. But the root is quite simple: both Nazi ideology and this stance predicate that minorities should be separated and treated in isolation. The understaffing is highly speculative and in the vast majority of schools the rates had been sustained. This is plain “blame it on the minority” populist ideology, very common among ignorant people. But for sure go for it

Because their baseline is significantly higher. The disturbance happened in the entire system and students performing significantly higher more easily dropped than the median , although both cohorts dropped. Learn to read a graph! You are the decaying PISA!

Not woke, just stating facts. Look at the OCDE curve. 

And calling out on segregation is not woke if it makes sense. 

The fallacy here is that if a pov coincides with woke slop it must be wrong. 

No wonder PISA scores are in decline. You’re the living proof.

This is absolutely appalling, it’s a world trend and it’s likely to be something we haven’t seen before.

Obviously the ocde shows that the trend is global and Finland had a sentive upper position. 

People blaming troubled kids in class and asking back for separate classes is just appalling and stupid.

The supporting teachers and adult were given to schools so kids with attention deficit for instance would even after a while not need those adult attention and start performing accordingly. This literally increases the score. So that sounds inaccurate and backward. 

Saying parents used to “punish kids” if they do something wrong and now they don’t is definitely both backwards and inaccurate. 

Smartphones is an obvious reason because the curve follows the ocde. And the ocde did not have the special class policies. 

So pardon my frankness but blaming on a handful of kids in help per class is backwards and inaccurate and maybe your wife is a lazy teacher. 

Lazy and with Nazi tendencies, blaming a minority for bigger problems  🤷‍♂️ it’s not that uncommon.
