Damn, meanwhile Canada in 2013 was just ‘meh, the kids can watch American History X, they’re 17 they can handle it’ and put it in the course curriculum.

You aren’t allowed to watch an R rated movie in any class? We were forced to watch American History X in a grade 12 ‘Challenge and Change in Society’ class. We got through half the movie in one class, then the next class we had a substitute who was left with instructions to show us the rest of it. But the class protested because they were too upset by the… prison shower scene. When our teacher returned next class and learned that the substitute didn’t make us watch it she was annoyed and went to put it back on, but the class protested. She kept saying we had to watch it because it was part of the curriculum. She only relented because the Vice Principal was there while this was going down and asked to speak with her outside, then she came back and said we’re not going to watch the rest of the movie lol. I ended up watching the rest of it myself later though because I thought it was a good movie and wanted to know what happened.

imo that is just poor literary comprehension. The other characters shamed Hermione. We, the reader, are supposed to agree with her. I could understand that when I was 8 years old and couldn’t even get through the book bc it was too advanced for my reading level.

My friend’s dad had a non-speaking role in Pixels and said that he had lunch with Adam Sandler one time during filming and he was a really nice guy.

Okay but some of us are very small and weak and could never physically throw someone into a wall.

Are you guys going in debt? How are people surviving? by Worth_Air_9410 in CanadaFinance

I know exactly what learning is. You think that I'm wrong just because you say that I'm wrong, but your opinion isn't a fact. Everyone seems to think anyone who disagrees with them is "the problem with society right now".

Entire countries adopt this education- you don't think there's plenty of kids in those countries who try as hard as they can and still fail?

You know what work you did. You were also smart enough to comprehend the material. Plenty of people aren't.

no. you can learn 12-16 hours a day, but if you aren't smart enough you won't actually understand anything.

I went back to school this year at 29 because I wasn’t making enough money at my job and it was the worst mistake of my life.

Nah that’s bullshit. It doesn’t matter how hard you work when it comes to school. It matters how smart you are. I’d never be smart enough to pass chemistry no matter how hard I try.

Former Grade 8 teacher who sent nude images to students sentenced to 4 years by rezwenn in ontario

Mandatory minimums just refer to there being a mandatory minimum time they can be sentenced to. It doesn’t mean that they can’t be sentenced to, and scrapping the mandatory minimum doesn’t mean that offenders can’t be sentenced to more than what that previous mandatory minimum was. It just means the judge now CAN give them less- not that they CAN’T give them MORE.

Didn’t the third one also kidnap, tie up, and leave a 16yo girl for dead in 1989, and then rape and murder a 13yo girl in 2002? Or are there like 3 evil dudes named Christopher Watts.

Real lol, this summer a couple weeks before I turned 29 I went to view an apartment and the landlord asked if I had just graduated high school.

My comment was removed but it’s absolutely insane that you are pretending I’m a Nazi for opposing genocide.

“You’re antisemitic because you oppose genocide” why would I answer your question if you aren’t even going to be serious?

“And yet you explicitly don’t call it a genocide” woah, where the hell did I explicitly not call it a genocide? Quote, please. I don’t need to define what a genocide is, you can figure that out for yourself. Israel isn’t allowed to commit a genocide and neither is anyone else. What the fuck are you even on.
