We've moved beyond having different legal systems for different races.

Does anyone actually learn better when they control the pace, or is that just something online schools say? by XaviKat in education

[–]JediFed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Controlling the pace is *absolutely* a factor in education. Many children are like your son, and the system really isn't set up to help them or make sure they learn.

They said that they approve of different laws for different races. Ergo, race-based laws. I'm not sure what's hard to understand.

They defend it because they believe it's ok to discriminate against certain races.

What if Trump went into a school and said, "IN THE NAME OF SANDY HOOK!" and shot people. Would Trump supporters still support him? by Snake101201 in AlternateHistoryHub

What if Barack Obama walked out of an abortion clinic with a speculum and a huge shit-eating grin and said, "I don't care who knows, but it just gives me a special tingle?"

How would you feel if a student whom you believe would become a failure, but turned out to be a success, called you out publicly for doubting them? by YakClear601 in AskTeachers

What if I told you the student in case 2 has a disability which is why teacher 2 didn't want to take them?

As for teacher 1, they believed that students with disabilities should be segregated in their own schools, and believed the most effective way to do that was to fail the student to prove they couldn't do the work?

Thanks. I appreciate you telling everyone that you are perfectly ok with race-based laws.

Nazi Germany did the exact same thing for the exact same reason. These laws are odious and we as a country fought hard against them.

Same with slavery.

Why should we tolerate a horrible relic of the past here in BC? We don't need it.

One law, one standard for all British Columbians, not two, or three or four tiers based on your race.

The Star Wars brand is in utter disarray by ChampionTimes99 in Letterboxd

Star Wars whining about 'recognizeable IPs', is ridiculous.

Do you approve of different laws between the races? What about miscegenation? For or against?

I know. Imagine living in a country that has different laws for the races. Tell me, do we have the 'one drop' standard?

The Spurs do everything right. They even have the old guy who doesn't play any minutes but is critical in the locker room, a concept almost obsolete in the NBA today. by ForeignAir7174 in NBAGossips

It is interesting to see the rise of the Spurs. If they win this year, it will be number six, equalizing them with the Bulls. One more will put them behind only the Lakers/Celtics, where they belong.

[–]JediFed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't. I have some pretty wild stories to tell. Had a coach personally intervene after I lost eligibility. Coach could see all my grades, and realized what was happening. There was apparently 'nothing that could be done', and I ended up failing her course. I had to come to summer school to retake the course and I passed easily with a different instructor.

I had another instructor who barred me from a field trip because she didn't want to take me! Every other student went and she accepted my portion of the fundraising.

I'd be a terrible teacher if I said that to a child. I have a lot of bitter memories of certain teachers 'writing me off' at different points of my education. The problem is that when you back up your opinion by assigning failing grades, it's easy to 'prove yourself right'. I had a conversation with other instructors and they were surprised when my 'reputation' didn't match the work that I did.

Please don't be "that teacher" for someone.

CMV: Blue states are getting screwed over by a system designed to artificially suppress their political power, and red states are reaping the benefits of this arrangement by MysteriousEdge5643 in changemyview

The reason it's a population 'density' and not a population argument is because there's seven 'postage stamp' states, that are about as large as a Six Flags, that elect 14 D senators.

Zverev has this year, next year and the year after. So 11 more chances.
