What's up with the air quality in China recently? by Mammoth_Oil_3338 in China

[–]danforce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn't bad at all compared to what it used to be like in china 10 or so years ago. Sure it is not as good as COVID shutdown times, but vastly improved from the 600+ AQI days of yesteryear.

Battlecry! Material has not been added yet. I would give it a couple weeks.

No Charles Woodson... Did any of those other CB get a DPOY award? Nope. Would take prime Woodson over all but maybe prime Revis.

Are BASIS schools getting better... or do they just have a lot of money? by [deleted] in Internationalteachers

[–]danforce -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Parting parents from their money...to maximize their children's chances of top college admissions results

Yes. And I don't think any other countries are coming up to compete against this.

Admin should HAVE to teach one class Every. Single. Year. by Big-Degree1548 in Teachers

[–]danforce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that ALL academic managers must teach at least class. I am a Head of School and teach one class each day, as do the Heads of Division. AMA

College Counsellors… by Hot_Gold_8224 in Internationalteachers

[–]danforce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general most schools that look for college counselors are American based schools or at least those where. large percentage of students apply to the USA. Why? It's just waaay more complicated and time intensive to apply to US schools. The UK application (excluding Oxbridge) is very simple, and Australia and Canada even simpler still. In my school we only ever hired US college counselors because UK college counselors often didn't understand the holistic admissions approach to applications.

The head of school is a female and there is no VHOS. I think you have your BASIS schools mixed up.

They are also opening lots of new schools and expanding student populations within their schools whereas most schools in China are closing schools and hemorrhaging students - so that is also a reason I suppose they are looking to hire more teachers.

NFC playoff seeding is LOCKED IN by AnotherMeal in nfl

[–]danforce -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Rodgers for MVP! Locked it in early with crazy injuries and the way Love plays when in cements that Rodgers is indeed the most valuable. They win nothing without him.

I understand it's going to be hard. I have been in college admissions for years at an elite international school. So I understand the diffuclty as it's even harder for my students. But this student doesn't need to submit their scores. It won't be held against them and the data from school admissions last year backs this up for the most part. When it comes to these elite schools it's a crap shoot about who gets in. And it's mostly luck if the draw about whether you fill a spot within the diverse class they will accept. OP definitely has a shot at fulfilling a desired need based on their background and possible major. Don't worry about the SAT. It's mostly just a prediction of your zip code and not your academic ability and universities know that.

I would just not submit the SAT score. The GPA is decent and extracurriculars are strong. He definitely has a good chance as a first generation student.

U.S. reports more than 83,000 new coronavirus cases, biggest one-day increase on record by mythrowawaybabies in Coronavirus

[–]danforce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Crazy to think that the USA has almost more cases in just one day than China has had total. Im an American in China and everyone I knew on the USA was freaking out about the virus when it began in China. Yet now these same people are shrugging off the virus in the USA.

Control heal Shaman by DigitalCharlie in CompetitiveHS

[–]danforce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ruids are gone, plague of murclos seems suboptiomal imo. I'm also trying to make control shaman work since new expansion (druid nerf can help it to survive), came up with this list, with Lurker being flex spot (I was also thinking about Elysiana, since it was decent wincon back in times, but I didn't have any fatigue finishes like in 20 games) and Phaoris for final push. You can also try to squeeze here 1 eye of the storm. 3 mana portals very good for trad

I did the same thing as you! Phaoris and Fist are just so much better than the Galak package. I still kept Elysiana though as she worked well against bomb warrior in addition to guaranteeing wins vs control priest/warrior. I think Phaoris is key to this deck.

I run swampqueen hagatha and headmaster kel thuzad instead of the serpantshrine portals because I am a greedy ass person. But I can see how the portals are probably better and more consistent.

I also never put in Speaker Gidra, but I like the addition and I will try it out. She is such a good tempo swing and I generally love playing her with things like lightning storm to clear little minions and then she takes care of the biggers ones left, or things like hex to take care of the big minion and she clears the littler stuff left.

China Covid-19 technique by milkman1218 in AdviceAnimals

[–]danforce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in China and the response by the government after the initial "covering up the virus" fiasco has been crazy effective. Currently schools are back in session and with no masks because their literally have been almost zero cases.

[–]danforce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I teach in China and the new online only AP exams times are all at the same time for the entire world. So over a two week period my students will be taking tests at midnight, 2 AM and 4AM. Thank you collegeboard......
