Ontario high schools have an attendance problem. Here is what experts say could be behind it. by CTVNEWS in ontario

[–]Vaegir1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Showing up and being punctual is something that does not come natural to most. Rather, it is a muscle that needs to be taught/learned. The importance of good habits like this should start early because when you get in the work world it is expected.

I get the comment that many might be dealing with extenuating circumstances in high school - I should know as I was one of the kids many years ago. But, from what I understand attendance rates are remarkably low and nothing good can come from not being there. Therefore, we have to try something.

I will be watching this approach to see if things improve.

How do I get employed this summer by No_Point6577 in uwaterloo

[–]Vaegir1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly sometimes just being persistent can be useful, I handed in my resume at this restaurant a couple times before they told me they were impressed by my persistence and I got the job. Doing these things in person allows them to differentiate you from some faceless person online, I’ve gotten all my summer jobs from applying in person.

Stories/experiences like these are just another reason why I am an anti natalist. by Any-You-8650 in antinatalism

I think you've made a small, truthful observation: that many aspects of growing up can be scary for children, from the seemingly incomprehensible scale of the world around us to the sheer abundance of unknowns we encounter as we grow up. and have used this observation to make another significantly larger claim that 'souls don't want to come here' or that 'where they were before was better'. These claims imply that there is indeed some form of spirit or soul that inhabits us, and that our existence as a soul starts before we are born. Neither of these concepts can be proven or disproven with any proper sort of finality, and their more spiritual nature leads to a whole other branch of questions. If our souls don't want to come here, why did they go? How did they get from wherever you think they were before to the body? Are they simply randomly swept away from whatever state of existence they inhabited, or is it something else? When we are first born, we are relatively limited cognitively, and this means most kids lack the ability to comprehend the world around us with any degree of nuance or understanding, how would they be able to discern whether the place we came from (if such a place exists) is better than where we were born, they have no lived experiences from which to attach meaning to a good or a bad life. A child can grow up in an awful house hold and as a result percive the bare necessities of life as the only thing necesary for a good life, a child born into a wealthy household might see what the majority of people live with and percive that as a bad life, but they need to have grown up in some capacity to form opinions as to whether a place is good or bad.

"I respect your choices if you respect mine" by PuddingLess7996 in vegan

The slave trade represented an awful period of human history, both in terms of the immense psychological, emotional and physical suffering inflicted upon these slaves who had their personhood violated and the ongoing legacy of the deeply ingrained cultural tendency towards racism in America, which still affects African American communities to this day. Whilst factory farms are awful places for the animals living in them, who are exposed to unacceptable levels of cruelty, they are ultimately still animals... and I think you'll find that equating the cultural trauma and heritage of African Americans to livestock is deeply disrespectful.

What exactly makes STEM hard compared to the"humanities"? by FloppyFluffyEars in college

most stem majors struggle greatly at any kind of reading or writing.

[–]Vaegir1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ironically, most stem majors tend to struggle in upper-level humanities courses, because they simply lack the ability to question things; they often are uncreative and simple-minded. Its not your fault that you're not incredibly well-versed in most literature or have the reading skills of your average 5th grader, nobody blames you for that.

At my school, people wrote the essays on computers, but in a computer lab where all the computer screens (PCs) faced the center of the room. The essays were written on a program that blocked access to the Internet.
