It’s easy to find the answer to your question. One does not have to deliberately wallow in ignorance.

Shutdowns have occurred due to no appropriation bill being passed before the previous one expires. Raising the debt ceiling is a different thing. It used to be a routine thing to r…

The virus mutates quickly so the vaccine can't be expected to be as effective at new variants compared to the variants it was designed to combat.

My recollection is that the showdown aspect is something new in the sense that it has happened only under a Democrat President and started in Obama's presidency.

This is one reason why it will be hard to get rid of the silly requirement to take shoes off. DHS has a financial interest in keeping the theater going.

There are lots of things stopping the DFL from doing what it wants with the police force. I suggest you look into how police forces hold cities hostage when city government acts in…

Presumably the so called good apples will get hired by the newly formed police force. Though I would argue there are very few good apples. You aren’t a good cop when you allow and …

In Minneapolis they want to dismantle the existing police force and replace it with another. A big reason for wanting to do this is to get rid of the problem cops. Police in the U.…

I think you may have missed it a bit too. jacquesm wrote: ...I have no way of verifying it then I don't believe them. Worked pretty good so far. This can't possibly be true since o…

You missed, entirely, the point made by the person you responded to.

Thanks for your rant! It was wells stated. I did not know anything of these things in the sense of having any academic knowledge about this stuff. I didn't know about the counting …

You are the first to notice this! I wish I had been more explicit.

In case you don’t know this, community colleges are generally required to accept everyone who applies that has a high school diploma or a GED. We are open enrollment institutions. …

Do you believe everyone can learn algebra? What evidence do you have for this belief? Have you taught in the classroom much to students with a wide range of educational backgrounds…

Thanks for your comment. My statement has unleashed passions in some. It’s been interesting reading the comments.

How’s this for irony. My high school guidance counselor told me that’d never pass college and now I’m teaching at one! I don’t get to decide who has the ability to learn algebra. A…

Certainly not all people can learn how to teach mathematics. That is not at all disputable in my mind. I may be in the set of people who can’t learn to teach math. I’ve tried for o…

I believe the universe is discrete and that everything in it is discrete. I believe that “intellignece” is not really measurable. A person might have an intelligence as it pertains…

Here’s one reason I know you’ve don’t have much experience teaching. You’ve mentioned that the way to pass all of my students is to do my job. No one who has extensive experience i…

You don’t because I’ve never said anything about my teaching. Your conclusions are not supported by the available evidence. You’ve obviously not taught much in the classroom. Why i…

This is what i meant.

Well, I’m certain cockroaches can’t learn calculus. Neither can apes or monkeys. Some humans can. Therefore I think that brain composition has something to do with learning calculu…

I committed to not responding to you in a different thread. I did not commit to not responding to you in all threads. The teacher in me forced me to try to explain to you why your …

It does matter in this sense. Students who are poor end up taking on debt for college and this debt is currently (mostly) unforgivable. If we had universal higher education this ob…

You know nothing about my teaching or what I do for my students. Did I say a good fraction of the students can’t learn algebra? I never said or implied anything of the sort. All I …
