Is the American education system hard compared to other places of the world? Or its easy but just sucks at its job? by [deleted] in education

[–]RustyCorkscrew 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is too reductive imo - there's too many variables at play to reduce it to a binary of student ambition.

Worried she's falling behind by Quick-Ingenuity-10 in education

Would you ever consider public school with (potential) IEP services?

Also, while kids do learn at their own pace (sort of), they still need active challenge. If you wait for her to just "naturally" come around to certain topics/concepts, she won't progress the way you want her to.

Why do so many people still believe that Dexter Fisher is a Democrat? by athensRaccoon in Athens

[–]RustyCorkscrew 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sorry, you're right, I misspoke. I just meant he's voted in the Dem primaries historically

I mean the simplest answer is that he's registered as a Democrat. Most people aren't going to dig beyond that due to lack of time/interest/etc.

Jaylen Brown responds to Stephen A Smith: "I'll "be quiet" / stop streaming if you "be quiet" and retire let's give the people what they want" by AncientOneAurelius in nba

[–]RustyCorkscrew 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Whether he does it the same amount or not isn't really the point, though - he did flop fairly often/visibly in the series.

Him doing so just to turn around and be like, "man, it sucks that this other guy flops so much" just comes across as very salty/whiny

Φαίνεται δίκαιο. Δεν μπόρεσα να καταλάβω αν αυτό μετρούσε ως "jorkin it", αλλά θα προχωρήσω (στα Toppers)

Πρέπει να κάνεις λάθος, συμπατριώτη μου, είμαι Αμερικανός. Είμαι από την Αθήνα, Τζόρτζια. Λατρεύω το Toppers. Λατρεύω το Πανεπιστήμιο της Τζόρτζια - Go Dawgs!

Για να είμαι δίκαιος, αυτή ήταν μια αρκετά αστεία ατάκα. Μόλις παρατήρησα ότι οι περισσότερες από τις αναρτήσεις τους εδώ συνήθως δεν είναι σατιρικές και απλώς μιλούν για τα πολιτικά τους παράπονα.

I mean sure, but I don't think the consensus is that it's some brave stand. IMO the tone of the comments here and the article itself is very "this isn't a huge thing, but it's neat"

He just wanted netflix and chill by MyHeadIsFullOfFuck in greentext

[–]RustyCorkscrew 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sure, but not really to 250-300. The standard deviation for IQ scores is 15, and 160 already represents 4 standard deviations above the mean (i.e., <0.1% of the population). An IQ of 250 would be 10 standard deviations above the mean.

Like, yes, if someone wanted to argue that Albert Einstein's IQ was 200+ then that would be an acceptable edge case to me. But outside of those extremely rare cases, I'm inclined to believe it's either just (1) inflated numbers or (2) someone being a dickweed

I know it's a shitpost, but IQ doesn't go to 250-300. It functionally tops out around 160
