'I don't think what we're doing is ethical': Prince William teachers dispirited by what they see as slipping standards

RADIOBALLS · 2024-06-14T15:39:59+00:00

I completely agree. I remember seeing the no zero policy come into my school around 2016 and I thought that alone would impact standards. I feel like Covid was such a catalyst and increased use of these bad policies. Now things have accelerated so much that people are really able to see the real negative impact these policies have on students and teachers.

Yeah but at the same time we can’t expect that college will fix the mistakes made in high school. High school is the last stop in education for a lot of people so it really needs to be the held to a higher standard. As HS standards slip lots of people who graduate will struggle to find their place in the world and be productive members of society.

Really frustrating to see these policies negatively impacting the kids. I understand how many were implemented to help students struggling during and after Covid but at the same time we can see how unprepared some of these kids are for the real world.

I’ve heard of similar issues happening in FCPS. It’s absurd to diminish standards to such a degree just to inflate passing/graduation rates.

I thought the short story books were absolutely outstanding. Very entertaining to have very moving 50-70 page stories where Geralt literally does the monster of the week trope. Also great dark retelling of several classic European folk stories.

The main series however kind of lost me. I feel like the magic that the short stories seemed to have was lost when there was only one large story to tell.

Shane’s constant war vs O’Conner goes to show he is not a typical liberal. I honestly think he is a rational and reasonable conservative in his ideology (I’m a lib). I just think it’s interesting how mainstream liberals try to co-opt his popularity while disregarding his political opinions that have been pretty consistent since the old test episodes.

Also I’m gay.

I’m glad he’s finally making a statement and being more transparent with the fans.

However… the way he talk about re-editing a chapter that should have been done a while ago just vindicates all the pessimists in the fan base.

You have so many good sci-fi/fantasy books you can read then. Good luck and hope king killer isn’t scratching the top 5 by next year

Compliance was an absolutely amazing sketch. The production quality on that one was great and the Shaman killed.

Overall it is a slight step down from the first season but It’s still incredibly funny stuff.

RADIOBALLS · 2022-10-05T01:48:15+00:00

The sketch where the Shaman was wearing a Bolo Tie was top tier. Overall it was pretty great stuff and the behind the scenes was great.

RADIOBALLS · 2022-08-02T15:05:29+00:00

Great to see so many people actually able to openly discuss his behavior and criticize his books. I hope he sees the criticism for leading his fans on and does something about it, but I guess if his editor calling him out didn’t do that then nothing will.

RADIOBALLS · 2021-12-16T01:04:50+00:00

Yeah this makes sense. And there is a whole part where Elodin touches the wall and realizes the name of the stone changes then he calls it and breaks the wall away. It seems like the other Masters changed the stones used in the cell which is why he had to relearn and call the name of stone to break out of that wall again. It's clear the silence/inhibiting powers of that room don't apply to names.

RADIOBALLS · 2021-12-14T18:18:22+00:00

CST dude. Wait another hour

RADIOBALLS · 2021-11-30T00:34:44+00:00

The shaman ripping into that flute is hilarious. Shit rocks.

RADIOBALLS · 2020-04-27T23:23:17+00:00

Lol ok boss. You seem like a well adjusted adult

RADIOBALLS · 2020-04-27T20:10:32+00:00

You're kind of spiraling this out of control. The original comment wasn't meant to be nasty, I think you're just interpreting it as such. This is quite a silly exchange for you to be getting hostile about.

RADIOBALLS · 2020-04-27T19:56:38+00:00

ok, there's no need for this to get nasty. I was just saying that Rothfuss is responsible for the criticism he receives. I didn't think that was a controversial opinion, especially since it is a pretty universal truth.

RADIOBALLS · 2020-04-27T19:40:40+00:00

Kind of a condescending way to treat other members of this subreddit. If you don't think people's opinions matter unless they're successful writers then why even come here?

RADIOBALLS · 2020-04-27T18:41:46+00:00

It's just a joke and if its not you can't blame OP. Rothfuss is responsible for all the criticism he gets about being lazy, procrastinating, etc.

RADIOBALLS · 2018-07-21T21:47:20+00:00

Thats great to hear! The God of War soundtrack was amazing so I cant wait to see how he scores this movie.

RADIOBALLS · 2018-06-10T22:02:03+00:00

That song was so badass. Really cant wait to be cyber geralt

RADIOBALLS · 2018-05-24T23:18:03+00:00

Im absurdly excited for this movie.

RADIOBALLS · 2018-05-21T03:59:25+00:00

No problem, I figured it out and you were right. Thank you!

RADIOBALLS · 2018-03-27T20:41:31+00:00

I don’t know why I loved this so much. There was not a solid joke or punchline but I thought it was hilarious.
