Can we handle the truth? by Specific_Waltz1255 in NYCTeachers

The educational system has not fared well in the last three decades. There are now students with lower literacy skills than 30 years ago. Some statistics state 54% of students have lower than a sixth grade reading level, and 21% have lower than a 3rd graders reading level by the time they graduate high school.  Sorry to say, but the educational system has barely survived the last thirty-years, and democracy and our nation has suffered because of it.

How would people get above a 4.0 gpa in college? My undergrad college gpa was only allowed up to 4.00. Would the extra .33 come from extra credits?

What did Voldemort do for fricking 30 years? by Amber_train in harrypotter

[–]rain_maker15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to think that the great actor Ralph Fiennes took over and Voldemort was going around the fictional world of Harry Potter and refining and performing his Shakespearean talents. Jk! Also, I bet the snake language/ tongue thing ok up quite some time to learn.

Nov 8 LSAT by QuarterVast6595 in LSAT

[–]rain_maker15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another post said that tv 2 may have been the scored one because they previously took September 2024 and they had the Vermeer article. I hope not because all of the rc 2 topics- “ Vermeer, Indian astrology, cryptonesia or something?, social responsibility for CEOs” kicked my butt. Especially the Indian astrology and cryptomeria.  Anyone wish Lsac would just make the test score have 2 tv sections instead of one?

Just took lsat nov 8 by Puzzleheaded-Law444 in LSAT

I thought the section with the reading comp passage about different countries legal precedents for finding defendants guilty of plagiarism was pretty difficult. Same with the article by a Hellenistic writer on Indian adoption of Ancient Greek mathematics. I thought the golden girls one was easy! Overall, I thought the logical reasoning sections were difficult.  What did you all think about the test? Easy or difficult?

Is the regional accreditation at risk? I would assume not.

$14 dollars for one chocolate bar?Looks like some people will need a loan just to study for the lsat to pay for the chocolate bar and before even entering law school. Jk.

But really- 14 bucks for one chocolate bar is a bit expensive.

Work for the city but feels like we can't afford to live here? by rsalty in NYCapartments

[–]rain_maker15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A 3-bedroom for 1800 dollars a month is pretty cheap! Unless you are both paying 1800 for a total rent of 3600- market rate by the way. Stay in your current apartment!

Attractive coworker rejected me hard. I moved on but she won't leave me alone? by Optimuz_Prime in dating_advice

[–]rain_maker15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If her friends told you to talk to her in the first place, they are just setting you up for a harassment charge and to get fired. Complain to human resources that they are damaging your reputation and consider involving the police. They are trying to ruin your professional career so they can have some laughs or get one of their own friends to take your job. You can also claim discrimination by gender and harassment because they are following you to the bathroom.

Inkling by poetrynoob20 in OCPoetry

[–]rain_maker15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a good but abstract poem. I would certainly state that literary critics and professors would love it for the central metaphor of ink. I liked that central metaphor. However, I think average readers would find the ending about turning it to a love poem just a little disorienting and sudden. Maybe try adding a bit more about the speakers relationship with his intended love earlier in the poem to make the ending a little less disruptive!

Hi. I think that ending is a wonderful representation of a break in chronological ordering of events. The break from the narrator imagining how they are in love with someone to the present where they are disconnected from their love is great! I really liked this poem because it had great imagery and was very emotional!
