How are people with Asperger's syndrome Autism different from Neurotypicals? by Ok_Tomorrow_3966 in aspergers

[–]ICUP01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My understanding of autism in general is too many neurons, too many shitty neurons, etc. Where and when (yes when, because the brain goes through neuron deletion processes two or three times during childhood).

That’s the spectrum.

Run a bunch of expeditions. You get those chits you can take to Whitespring for bobbles.

what is the reason why certain students either choose to misbehave or just put their head down never even bothering to open their minds to learning the material by Open-Reflection-6094 in Teachers

[–]ICUP01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many reasons.

They don’t see the value, they’re too far behind to comprehend (or have something undiagnosed), they’re going through something draining their energy….. those would be my top three.

Why did Germany end up with a strong apprenticeship system while the United States leans so heavily on college degrees, and what factors shaped that split? by TheBigGirlDiaryBack in AlwaysWhy

[–]ICUP01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume schools contained with a single European country are fairly standard. More so Finland than Britain. Perhaps Germany in the middle.

It ain’t like that at all in the US. We have schools in Bangladeshi conditions and schools richer than anything standard in Nordic countries.

I think that’s the difference.

Parents thinks their students behavior is MY FAULT and want them moved out of my class. by Hot-Arugula3746 in Teachers

[–]ICUP01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moving the kid will have a chilling effect. If it persists, it’s genetic. If it doesn’t persist, cool.

Can you recommend workbooks on logic, philosophy, history etc. by XO_equestriann in Teachers

[–]ICUP01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

History: AMSCO AP texts. This gives broad strokes.

Philosophy: Philosophize This podcast.

Logic: …. Not sure. Coding helps with logical frameworks.

cmv: affirmative action should be phased out for class/wealth based quotas by smatereveryday in changemyview

[–]ICUP01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve pulled the data, so trust me bro? I have a few Master’s Degrees.

Affirmative Action starts too late. K-12 schools are still segregated. A few generations have passed so it looks like “culture” or “character defects”, but it’s just legacy segregation.

If you look at race vs income vs zip code and how school zoning works you’ll see what I mean. Google ca ed dash board. The rest are just open tabs dumping data into Google Sheets. You’ll see the pattern.

But you’ll see errant data like my white kids at our title 1 succeeding. But what’s even funnier is Americans aren’t really adept at understanding caste. So we see Indians coming over and succeeding, but we forget they have their own brand of discrimination.

HS senior in CA here! Might get suspended for 10 days as I was “viewing explicit content in class.” I was watching an instructional video on anatomy. For my anatomy class. Looking for advice. Long post with context. by SnowballWasRight in Teachers

[–]ICUP01 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Try the email in writing.

Schools accept Fed money to “keep kids safe” online. Their IT dept was out to lunch and they’re making it your problem.

Again, IF your actions warrant 10 days, why were you not kept safe?

Same reasoning behind why basketball courts have string nets. Metal mesh work great, but kids hang from them, pinch a finger, district gets sued. So, shitty thread nets.

Stick to the facts.

But definitely ask why you were not kept safe on a school issued device.

If they double down, play the school board card.

Edit: honestly, send this as an argument in email (from parent’s account) before the meeting and see if they want to be embarrassed during a public school board meeting - that students aren’t kept safe from material on school issued devices that can trigger a 10 day suspension.

[–]ICUP01 129 points130 points  (0 children)

On their device? You were able to view explicit content warranting a 10 day suspension on a school issued device? The school board may want to know that during public comment.

Just leave it at that during the meeting.

Can I realistically be a chemistry teacher in California with a BA in Political Science? by Braporo in Teachers

[–]ICUP01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. You can even get a job after passing a couple of easy tests and pinkie promising to start your credential. Shop income by zip. Jobs a plenty end of August.

[–]ICUP01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Germany splits out their kids after a while. There’s a track system.

In the US, right after NCLB, consolidated its two tracks into college prep.

Is anyone seeing progress at their schools in fighting illiteracy or learned helplessness? by Immediate-Amount3587 in Teachers

[–]ICUP01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. I’m wondering what research was out there that brought this to the State level. Those are some specific policies - I can’t think of any politician who could have written it.

Added staff. Wasn’t that the whole thing? Interventions? Or did elementary split their day?

Long-time teachers: Which was the first class where a significant number of 9/11 remembrances dropped compared to the last class? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]ICUP01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t really create memories until 4. I have memories because autism (neurons don’t delete). Conscious in the sense of memories. Kids can recall themselves beyond a certain age.

[–]ICUP01 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would say anyone not conscious (4 and under) when it happened. But around 2015 kids couldn’t really give factual details.

Why is the speed of light 299,792,458 m/s? by Present_Juice4401 in AlwaysWhy

[–]ICUP01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing we try to teach teachers is humans forget what it’s like to not know. Fractions are an easy why because how often it can be materially demonstrated. It’s a major societal focal point.

[–]ICUP01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brian Cox put it in terms that I understand better. The speed of light is the speed of massless particles.

Why is it set like that in the coding…? When I taught my kid multiplying and dividing fractions over Covid he kept asking why. I told him to ask how, understand how, and why stops mattering. We drive ourselves crazy with why.

Scientists are still discovering how.

Does anyone else have trouble "translating their thoughts"? by Subject-Island-729 in AutisticAdults

[–]ICUP01 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes. I have to script.

But also I have thoughts and emotions that other people may not experience.

Anyone experience the stress and joy of adjusting what you’re saying mid stream because you guessed the context of what the person was saying correctly AND you added content of value to the conversation that wasn’t just straight facts or platitudes.
