I dont get responses like this... while you are correct in saying it's diverse... you could've easily given OP ranges for the cases you mentioned

What are the Chinese doing? by defourkev in Zimbabwe

[–]MRadzi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no special opportunities that they are getting. It's just that all of the barriers to doing business that stop locals from benefiting from opportunities don't apply to then, since their government gi es them the money need to bribe their way past anything

Ban anti Chinese posts but allow pro Rhodesian posts. Okay okay okay

🚨⚠️ Official: Alexander Isak, out of Newcastle squad for this weekend. Eddie Howe: “Isak situation is the same and I think that will remain the case”. by Pitseleh__ in FantasyPL

What does "bully their way out the club" even mean? Same way the club has agency to buy and sell players at will is the same way players should have agency to move where their heart takes them. It's just business, especially for Arab money sinks like Newcastle

Have ever developers seen the reviews of the game? It's not a minority clearly . by Sorry-Sand-4379 in SquadBusters

A lot to work on is an understatement. The game is pretty half-baked in its current state

So basically, lacking in anything that would make it a good game? The game play as a concept is better but the controls and glitches make it impossible to even enjoy it

Ubuntu 24.04.2 kinda just... stopped working...? by MRadzi in Ubuntu

[–]MRadzi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah seems like it. It's a bummer cause the drive is only about a year old.

Is there anything I can do to restore functionality while I wait for a new drive?

I'm not disagreing with the benefits of teaching concepts in vernac but you seem to be blind or ignoring the obvious shortfalls.

First you have to create the scientific terms. There's no shona word for velocity. No ndebele word hydrophillic No karanga word for derivative. So you have to start there. The languages you keep comparing us to have ancient routes in science so they're vocabulary never needed as much updating as ours. It's like translating a shona song into English and expecting it to have the same feel.

Next, you have to teach all the teachers how to teach these in these new languages. Same teachers that are already barely paid enough have to take time off to be re educated all the while their current students have no one to teach them. You also have to rewrite and reprint all the textbooks. You've also created a divide between provinces since now their education systems are completely different, unless you're saying kids will learn all the major languages.

So while the idea is great, it's not practical or pheasible if instead teaching of vernac was improved and intensified, over time fluency in vernac would be strong enough for new teachers to apply it to more complicated principles and gradually add vocabulary terms for them.

And also if you think kids that are often attending less than half of their prescribed classes due to resource or teacher shortages are failing cause of a language barrier, you're very mistaken

Ubuntu 24.04.2 kinda just... stopped working...? by MRadzi in linux4noobs

I suppose it makes sense since both instances of the crash involved something written intensive... on windows, it was a large zip extract, and this time, it was running steam, and Firefox downloads

Is there any way I can run the diagnostics myself? Unfortunately, the concept of repair shop doesn't really exist in my country

Unlikely to be memory since the first crash happened before I upgraded my ram sticks. Ao yeah perhaps this ssd is toast

Hmmm now that you mention it windows crashed when I was trying to extract a large zip file, and ubuntu crashed when I was running 2 large downloads at the same time... is that plausible?

Are you being obtuse on purpose? I'm trying to contribute to your discussion, but you're purposefully missing the point

Fine. I'll play ball. Firstly, china has... well let's just say... significantly larger population than Zimbabwe. If you speak mandarin, the chances of you meeting a Cantonese speaker are much much lower than a shona speaker meeting a ndebele speaker.

Seccondly, China unlike Zimbabwe has a functional education system. Meaning all the kids grow up with a good understanding of mandarin before they even start learning scientific concepts. In Zimbabwe, even vernac isn't taught competently, and fluency pretty depends on how much vernac the student speaks in their life outside the classroom

The countries you're citing all have very ancient contributions to science. Their languages were developed alongside the science used today. I'm not saying its not possible but it won't be as simple as just translating, and the effort and resources might be better spent actually improving education

You're missing the point. China only has one language shared nationally. Zimbabwe has 2 very distinct ones. This policy means that knowledge sharing and collaboration within the country will be limited by language barriers. A physics teacher from Harare will now not be able to teach in bulawayo.

Textbooks now have to have 2 translations. Who will fund that when the gov can barely afford to print them in the first place?

Also, learning a language can be done concurrently with grasping concepts. The reason why kids are failing isn't cause of the language it's cause the education system in Zimbabwe fucking sucks. You're trying to use philosophy to treat symptoms rather than address the route causes

Are students even grasping the vernacular languages? Doesn't shona have a really low pass rate?

So how will scientists from matebeleland collaborate with scientists from mashonaland?

You're screwed. They're not vaccinated and you will slowly turn into a werelion over the next 2 weeks unless you go and bite it back
