Ferguson, MO protests and police brutality.

I personally would go there myself and try to get the gist of things from my own experience, but on the chance that the cops there have lost their minds, I'll stay in my comfy abode.

And for the record, not all cops are bad, though all cops do seem to be getting worse.

Napalm is packing peanuts and gasoline. Bullets are like 80 cents a round.

What bullets do you use? Mine are 1/4 that price, Jesus.

I know the feeling. You're better than me, I usually give up after the second or third time.

God, why can't they just stay in Topeka where they belong? Fucking nutjobs.

Common Core State Standards

So it's essentially like I said above. It's meant to dumb down the better places to the level of the worse places, rather than try to do the opposite. Granted, the former is easier than the latter, but the latter would make a much better difference in the long run.

Common Core State Standards

I'm not sure about the details of this stuff, but I do think I was among the last class to have the old system. In Texas you had to take the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills, which was stupendously easy every year. I never, from 3rd to 11th grade, got a score below commended (roughly equivalent to an A), and not that I'm complaining but it was primarily because it was painfully easy and the test material never evolved past like 9th grade level, even in 11th grade. And people take it so damn seriously, I actually exempted out of having to take an entrance exam at community college because of my TAKS scores, though I think my SAT score may have helped with that as well. The sad part is that I know that some people have failed TAKS.

I don't know a whole lot about the new system, other than there are a ton of individual tests. I don't know much about them other than they're harder than TAKS, though given that people actually managed to fail TAKS, I doubt that will last. I swear, since no child left behind, it seems that schools are less concerned about actually teaching people than they are about having good graduating rates, and how do they usually do that? By dumbing shit down. If what Juice said is true I'm kinda glad to hear it, but I still think that the very concept of schooling in American society is becoming more of a joke every year.

And this coming from the 20 year old dipshit who wastes his money on everything and has no taste for good movies.

So basically trusting him with that insight is a hit or miss sort of thing.

Although according to IMDB, he might be right. It's only rated at 6.4 out of 10, so... might not be all that good. Even Jeremy Jahns gave it a low rating. Surprised it was directed by Michael Bay?

I applied to big girl jobs.

Either that, or I'll be a Sargent Major by the time I finally quit the service.

Hopefully staying in the reserves and praying an actual war doesn't start.
