Fillik: The pressure gauge is spiking. …and now it’s on fire?

Osha: On it!

Fillik: Wait. You need fuel, heat and oxygen for a fire. There’s not enough oxygen and heat in outer…

Osha: *interrupts with a wave of her hand*

Osha: This is not the high school physics you were taught.

Fillik: *stares blankly* This is not the high school physics I was taught.

Former bkdk and anti used "Reading Comprehension".... It hurt itself in it's confusion. Hori should have realized that his young audience isn't bright enough to understand the story. The man shouldn't have to dumb down MHA for these people to understand it.

Get your head head out of your ass, learn proper reading comprehension and cut the crap. Statements like this come from a lack of education and bigotry.

Schools Lying To Parents = Damaged Children

Educators, particularly the activist set, seem to have forgotten that they are part of team when it comes to children.  The child-parent-teacher team only works if there is transparency and a set of common values shared. Activist teachers and the systems that support them often destroy families, as is the case here.  The ‘professionals’ involved should all be facing at minimum professional…

Hot take: Schools need to start failing students again. In recent years schools and teachers have been discouraged or even punished for failing students. Students who are technically failing are simply being passed from grade to grade without ever being given time to catch up.

When I taught 6th grade earlier this year, many, MANY of my students were several grades behind. It's actually easier to name the ones that WERE on grade level. All of them were being advanced into 7th grade, even though many of them were barely in 4th grade in terms of academic progress. And this wasn't just the school where I taught, it's all over the place.

So many students are so far behind that teachers simply cannot catch everyone up. There aren't enough teachers or hours in the school day to both catch up students to past grades and keep them on track of their current grade. They need to fail. Failing is the only thing that can catch them up.

There are students graduating high school right now who are still in middle school academically.

Failing students is harsh, but necessary. It gives them time to catch up academically which students desperately need right now.

How are these students expected to thrive in college, where failing is an option? Where there's nothing to stop them from failing?

Hmm. 🤔 It’s almost like all those weird trads who crap all over college-educated women as selfish whores who are ruining the institution of marriage don’t know what they’re talking about.

yall are about to piss me off by not having any PASSING basic knowledge of the way the u.s. military manipulates its recruits into joining by typing up one of your uninformed, unresearched, unempathetic, individualistic, unbelievably annoying posts about how 100% of the people in the military ended up there because they just Love America So Damn Much! they're extremely mature and informed at time of recruitment, they can totally leave anytime they want, they totally had tons of other avenues in life they could've taken, there was no rush at all to get income as fast as possible, and everyone in the military also totally is part of the combat divisions and personally enjoys being IN the military very much, big believers of violence. everyone in the military is shooting guns all day, that's how that works. they LOVE BLOODSHED. also I love the "amewicans haha" twang to this type of shit because you're actually TOTALLY stealing our Thing, which is turning systemic issues into Individual Issues. Instead of talking about the powers that be, it's so Personal Choice up in here. It's, "well you shouldn't have done it then. I totally wouldn't because I know better." you don't wanna talk about the military industrial complex as a whole, and you don't want to talk about recruiters, you just want to pin the blame on Specific Individual People one-by-one, as if they're responsible for the system that they're being ground up in. someone was in the military? bad person, no matter what. it's easier to believe that, I guess, than to acknowledge that Normal People (with high school educations) are manipulated and incentivized into joining a system that is Bad. at like age 18. but yeah no that 18 year old should have just been smarter lol haha anyway here are some screenshots for no particular reason

side note this reply of someone going "umm just get loans and go into a high paying field it's easy XD" as a direct response to someone trying to explain how most americans joining the military are being funneled in that direction out of a need for money.

and another person who Decided that americans join the military just CLENCHING their teeth thinking of other people, and not thinking completely selfishly about their own selves and their own income/housing/healthcare.

End the Federal Department of Education.

Send the responsibility back to the states. Some will be better than others. Open market capitalism on their students’ education. Less Federal taxes. Higher states and personal responsibility.

Want better students?

Hire better teachers and use better curriculum.

it's the way I will genuinely consider skipping uni classes if the golden raven releases on a school day because holy shit if I have to wait even one second more to consume that book I will die

number #1 tactic that people use to not sound as racist as they are when they talk to black people: 'uhh so you AMERICANS need to stop pretending everything is about YOU. why should i know this im not from the us :/' (= is talking about like. a phenomenally internationally well-known black artist)

if anyone remembers approximately 2 weeks ago when i was actively giving up on a homework assignment well

half of the reason it was so hard was because i somehow managed to do the assignments out of order?

i got my grade back (a whopping 4/9) and the professor called my methods "extremely unorthodox" and i agree with her

Bullying isn't a "normal part of growing up"

Bullying isn't a "normal part of growing up" if a child is being bullied physically that is a failure of the school to protect them and a failure to create a safe learning environment.

Psychological bullying is *equally* as serious but can be harder to identify. But if a child/teen comes home from school upset repeatedly. If they say they don't want to go to school. If they alter their behavior to avoid persecution this is also a failure.

This feels obvious and basic but I'm saying it anyway.

Bullying isn't just something that happens naturally and part of "kids being kids" We can have schools where bullying is very rare and taken seriously when it occurs.

Bullying occurs when members of a community decide that someone is not an equal member of the community and so they aren't due the respect that everyone else may have. Sometimes adults condone this, and participate. (Sometimes on some notion of "making them more normal" or "teaching them to not be a target") This should not occur. This need not occur. If the adults that run schools, and parents decide they will not tolerate it ... it need not happen.

Yes, yes. *sometimes* feeling like you don't fit in is a part of growing up.

*sometimes*

Somehow this reasonable level of discomfort that can lead to personal growth gets confused with being bullied. And people who resist the idea that no one really needs to be bullied. (It could just be a thing that didn't happen in schools on any significant level.) think we are saying the much less reasonable idea that everyone should always be happy and never have any social discomfort.

lucanismancer rook bullying viago into the polycule by telling him about how lucanis praises him in battle and asks rook to let himself be poached into house dellamorte. his end goal is, of course, not to seduce viago (he has done this already), but rather to unfumble him for lucanis.

Big reminder that your country is not immune to bigotry. I've seen so many people, for example, pretend like antisemitism doesn't exist in the USA because we were part of the allied forces in WWII (of course, they conveniently don't remember that we rejected jewish refugees when WWII broke out and we only really joined because Pearl Harbor was bombed, but I digress).

If you think your country is immune from antisemitism, racism (including anti-Indigenous racism), class issues, ableism, whatever else it may be, look deeper because you will find it.
