How to Fix the Student Loan Mess
Muda69 replied to Muda69's topic in Gridiron Out of Bounds's Out of Bound Forum
So that is for two, count them two, students each year who are majoring in elementary or secondary education with the intent of teaching in Nevada. Nice example for a national program, Dante. -
How to Fix the Student Loan Mess
Muda69 replied to Muda69's topic in Gridiron Out of Bounds's Out of Bound Forum
Using what mechanism, Dante? "Free College" for all courtesy of the U.S. taxpayer? -
From what I can dig up, no. But some very small groups of target employees have voted to unionize over the last several years. Case in point: https://gawker.com/target-which-hates-unions-gets-its-first-union-1731620945. But this is kind of a hollow victory because since that vote Target has sold it's pharmacy business to CVS.

John Harrell's Sectional Predictions %%

Wonder if schools with an effective zero percent chance of winning a section should even be allowed in the playoff to begin with? -

Seattle Public Schools Will Start Teaching That Math Is Oppressive: https://reason.com/2019/10/22/seattle-math-oppressive-cultural-woke/ The proposal has drawn fire from the right. The American Conservative's Rod Dreher referred to it derisively as "woke math," writing: That's a hyperbolic statement. But having read over the proposed framework, I have to say that it does seem fairly terrible. It's chock full of social justice jargon that sounds smart but is actually vapid. What does it mean to decode mathematical "beauty" or "identify how the development of mathematics has been erased from learning in school?" (Has it been erased? That seems like a problem for history class.) The guidance says it will "re-humanize mathematics through experiential learning" and facilitate learning "independently and interdependently." That's a fancy way of saying almost nothing at all. The guidance also includes some extremely political, simplistic talking points that might be popular among activist academics but are in reality somewhat dubious. This is verbatim from the proposal: Students will be able to "identify the inherent inequities of the standardized testing system used to oppress and marginalize people and communities of color," "explain how math has been used to exploit natural resources," and "explain how math dictates economic oppression." Each of these statements are debatable, but they are not being presented as such. It would be one thing to hold a class discussion about the strengths and weaknesses of standardized testing, but what's happening here is that students are being trained to reject standardized testing due to its "inherent inequity," which is asserted as some kind of proven fact. If math is too daunting for students, a better option would be for schools to stop making it mandatory. Giving parents—and even students themselves—more choice and control over their own educational experience is always a plus, and few people actually need to understand higher mathematics to function in society. Infusing the existing math curriculum with a bunch of unfounded progressive assumptions about cultural appropriation is a silly approach. -
I lives in northern Michigan, but not the UP, for over 8 years. I know somewhat about winters are like.

https://www.nps.gov/grsm/index.htm Truth be told, I could probably lose myself here for a long while. Just not in the heat of the summer.

Agreed. I would retire to Minnesota (land of 1k lakes!) before Arizona. My spouse suggests Tennessee but even that is to hot/muggy. I'm not yet tired of snow and actual winter weather.

Perhaps better endzone cameras can help better spot those "travesties of the game". -

He needs the Colts offensive line, not the injury prone mess (Kyle Long anyone) they have now.
