Dual Credits for High Schoolers is a worthwhile investment

With student loan debt relief looking less likely to happen getting students dual credits while in high is a great way to lower college costs.

As the cost of higher education continues to rise, many students and families are left with the burden of high levels of student debt. In the United States, the average student loan debt for graduates in 2021 was $38,792, and this number is only increasing. However, one potential solution to this problem may lie in expanding Dual Credit Programs for High School Students. Dual Credit Programs are…

Isn't it more important for fob to have a discussion w/ gabe abt palestine and try to inform him on it instead of just trying to drop all association with him?

i mean, yes of course gabe becoming more educated and informed would be ideal, but until he shows that publicly himself i think the clearest, conciest way for fob to show they disagree with those opinions is to cease association. or, at least, cease positive association such as having him come perform on stage or posting about it like there’s nothing going on (if they were to do that). it isn’t like both things aren’t possible at once- not positively associating And helping educate can coexist, i think

People act like society and culture are geared towards families and kids when it's ridiculously not the case and honestly it would be better if it was.

i'm going to be honest i have no idea what i'm going to do. i messed up my choices for higher education and now i have barely a couple days to pick between a cursus way too difficult for me, a highly specialized cursus with shit outcomes, and a leap of faith into whatever kind of gap year alternative can get me out of my parents' hair for the time being. note how i have no fucking idea what that alternative could be, or what path i'd like to take ideally. fun.

It's Valentines Day and since I'm single I have been thinking about my OC's and how I ship them and I might want to Gush about them, so I'm putting up a short-length poll to determine the level of priority for each one. I'll put a brief summary of each one in the tags if you want some context to influence your decision

Really don’t like how many professions seem to be evolving (really, devolving) into “tech support.” My own job (in education) is now at least 25-30% being a helpdesk for students with some kind of technological issue.

childhood was spent thinking i’d go to hell and men would not love me if i swore so now to heal from that i am swearing as much as i fucking can until i come to my own fucking conclusion about how i feel regarding the usage of such crude vocabulary

Art and Science of Crafting Effective College Courses

In today’s dynamic educational landscape, the traditional methods of teaching and assessing are undergoing significant transformation. The tectonic shifts in technology and pedagogical research are compelling educators worldwide to rethink course designs, especially in higher education. At the heart of this transformation lies the quest to understand how students genuinely perceive and interact…

"What's this world coming to? It's the second time in two days I've been treated like a kid!"

STEVEN SPELBERG BOY GENIUS YOU ARE BREAKING MY HEART

he says this as Columbo is leaving the room after asking him to babysit his dog while he investigates

Columbo's leaving and Steve (I shall use Steve when I'm not being hyperbolic as it's what he tells Columbo he prefers to be called) is desperately reaching out for even a minute's more interaction with a person who talked to him kindly and treated him like a kid as well as respecting his intelligence and admiring his robot, making a joke about being treated in an age-appropriate manner like that's wacky

the other time he was treated like a kid? was when Jose Ferrer arranged for him to go to a movie as part of creating his alibi for the murder of the week (to silence a colleague with integrity who planned to expose the plagiarism of his son, Charlie X from Star Trek)

he only got to go do a fun entertaining thing (see a frankly weird-sounding movie called "The Loves of Frankenstein") because a prospective murderer was orchestrating an alibi

what's more, it's a movie Steve thought he couldn't see, because it was R-rated so he needed a parent or guardian to accompany him

THERE IS NO ONE WHO CAN BE EXPECTED TO ACCOMPANY BOY GENIUS STEVEN SPELBERG IF HE NEEDS A PARENT OR GUARDIAN

the parent or guardian provided for him? a mechanic from the cybernetics institute motor pool! they literally sent him to the movies with a random middle-aged man

Three Bears written in set theoretic form

p is a set of players, representing the individuals or groups involved in the event.

a is a set of actions, representing the possible choices or actions that each player can make.

b is a set of outcomes, representing the consequences of the players' actions.

Event 1: The Bears Go for a Walk (p, a, b) = ({Papa Bear, Mama Bear, Baby Bear}, {Go for a Walk}, {Porridge Cools})

In this event, the only player is Goldilocks. The action is to enter the bears' house, and the outcomes are that she finds the porridge, chairs, and beds.
