Winter LC Thread: Get More HOT Chicks

I was wondering if MSchu was doing a Red-like reference that I missed, or that was just a typo.

Definitely a Red-like line.

I hope Taylor Swift loses the Superbowl.

Et tu, John Cole?

My little speech went over well. I talked about how we can learn so much from people. It's better to learn than teach in many ways. I mentioned my dad who taught me to polish my shoes and tie a tie. That's about it. But what I learned from him was immeasurable. I told the audience that Lela didn't teach me anything but that I learned from her. She agryto join that club with my dad.

The day was a nice tribute to a woman who began at the college in 1967 and had a 50 year career when women, especially black women, were paid less than men, no matter their credentials. I also got to see a number of retirees, many of whom I liked. Like me, she was also a faculty member, a department chair, and an administrator at the college.

My mother taught me to read between the lines.

I found that, to an extent, teaching is learning. You are trying to explain the basics, and the basics is what the subject is about.

You learn about society and the nature of authority, and how the inequalities are passed on from one generation to the next, but that becomes stale after a while. It is all about exam results. That is the first axiom in understanding the education system IMO. And all exam results are for is determining who gets to do what. Certain percentages have to pass and fail, because a percentage have to be the lackeys, and it is maintaining those percentages that is the primary purpose of exams. There is a lot of inertia in education.

I think exam results are more important in Britain than they are here. I agree that inequality is passed from generation to generation, but it's due to income mostly. The best predictor of academic success is the income of the parents.

Many colleges here have moved away from SATs as a requirement, and we see college admissions relying more on grades and extracurricular activity like volunteering. But think about the volunteer opportunities for poor kids. Are there as many opportunities?
