Lemmy World

I’ll bite.

As a math teacher I agree. Phrasing thr question with “money” is ambiguous.

That’s why the important part was shown your work which the student failed to do. Depending on school policy this may be a no-credit or at most half credit answer.

The major flaw with math education is reading and writing. Very little of elementary school is spent reading, writing, and discussing. This problem is fantastic, if forces students to read, writes and analyze. Especially sines it’s ambiguous.

If a student at that age said “Amy has more coins” and answered Amy prior I would take it.

Alternatively they could go for the formal answer of “Bobby has 4 dimes. A dime is worth 10 pennies. Bobby has 40 pennies worth.”

We forget that math is about reasoning and justification, not just calculation.

“Other duties as assigned” is the bane of my existence

I love the digital library idea. Sadly, given the state of the US we would see folks on the street going

“The govs online libraries make kids want to be trans” or something like that.

Probably the classics.

Laws enforcing how public transit is provided. They literally kept a station open for a single high school student.

Public health is top notch, it goes above and beyond for patients, be they citizens or not.

While suicide is high in Japan, it’s considered a public policy and social failure than a personal one so the government dumps money into improving suicide help.

Waste sorting and just general cleanliness.

Fair. As a halfbreed myself I can say it’s awful if you are not Japanese.

They do have some really kickass laws though.

Perfection

I didn’t have one. I was asserting the idea that people were going to attack your post for saying “Use AI.”

Nah that’s clearly a pair of franks and some change.

I hear where you are coming from, but you just said “Use AI” on Lemmy. This should be fun 😁

Conjecture: They replied to the wrong post.

In the US, IIRC, you can have either thesis or capstone for Masters Degrees.

KES is kenyan currency and is found in the prior post to this series. You can find it in the OPs post history.

It’s the prior one in the series. You can find it in the OP post history.

Holy crap. Hi SARGE.

30mg edible can get me close to non-verbal some days and just not really hit that hard others.

I have GAD so I think that messes with my perception.

There are a few ways that the Socratic position (epistocracy) could be implemented and he covers them in the book. I am partial to a panel of experts that can only veto laws in their area of expertise.

For example. Congress passes a law to allow offshore drilling and the climate change panel vetos it.

I am not sure I buy the conditional statement

“If a population is well educated then they will vote well”

There is a component of research time that greatly limits ones ability to vote in most matters.

Furthermore the afformentioned conditional statement ignores the litany of cognitive biases that would influence a vote.

I both think people have a right to dignity, which by extension means they should have a say of how to live their lives. I also think that the general population shouldn’t vote. Against Democracy is a really good read if you haven’t read it.

For the record, I literally will drive people to the polls (since our current system creates better outcomes if more people vote) but I do really wish that most of them wouldn’t XD.

Not enough context. Why does it look like hot garbage?
