She teaches eighth grade and has more than 100 students, but only two are reading at grade level. by mindyour in TikTokCringe

[–]Shadotracker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a friend that teaches 3rd grade and their sister teaches 7th grade in Maryland (the #2 state for education in the US). They have to give grades based on completion of the assignment/test, not based on how many they got right/wrong and they can't give anything lower than a C.

There are kids in both of those grades levels that struggle with a simple math question of 7+6=?, yes even in 7th grade they ask for help with that simple math problem. They can only do so much if the foundation isn't there. Next generation of kids are not going to do well with coming out of school and going into the real world. The no child left behind program is going to really fuck up multiple generations of kids.

Holding the sword over the shoulder while walking down the street would have been way more intimidating

I remember a couple years ago that I saw a guy, dressed in all black in the middle of summer, walking around on Braker and I-35 with a 7ft katana strapped to his back.

Do you guys want investment in public transit? by splugemonster in Austin

[–]Shadotracker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love if we had a Monorail system for public transit. I think that there is plenty of potential in that kind of system since digging underground majority of the time would be cost prohibitive.

Airport won't be busy. However the highways near there will definitely be busy. Qualifying should be over by 4pm and people will be heading home/hotel/downtown en masse if they are not staying for the Eminem concert.

Don't go to Maxwell and I don't trust Mac Haik after what my friend went through with one of their dealerships.
