@InnaVishik Imagine someone cannot score above 50 percentile in SAT math and then landing in calc based physics. This is not “compassion” for the student.
@SFPD It’s so great to see them make arrest and check for evidence of other crimes too! People that wake up and go to sleep doing criminal activities need to be locked up.
@Kazanjy It’s amazing how infrequently the topic of IQ is discussed in education. It’s literally the water that education swims in. Having a honest discussion at age 17-18 about capability strengths and weaknesses would help so many people.
@reason She says she’s not concerned with money … but has so many plans to take it from you. Having moved from Portland to Arizona I can laugh at this stuff now. Portland sent letters to my new home a year later because I did not pay the yearly art tax.
@avidseries The story of Iryna is anything but a stunt, celebrities and Dems are silent which tells everything. Large cities often turn degenerate blue when normal people leave and there are crimes caused by 1-2% people arrested 24 times with no real punishment.
@CatoInstitute@David_J_Bier Cannot believe more folks do not see Mexico / Latin America as strategic partner. Many first world locations do not have simple access to cheaper labor.
@anup_malani Try submitting a solid paper with no university/institute affiliation, it will almost certainly get immediately rejected no matter the content. Academia is a dog and pony show.
@jasonfurman Prof Furman, You have interesting ideas on this topic. UW Madison actually publishes full grade distribution reports across entire campus. It is fascinating. Sometimes big differences from same class taught w/ different instructor. https://t.co/ypmZWsRwCB
@jasonfurman I cannot believe that grades are not put next to average GPA of the given class. This should be mandatory. Grade often reflects the instructor and class selection more than the student.
@minilek@garrytan If a university person said test scores are really useful and predictive they would be run out of town by a mob. Many good questions cannot be investigated.
@BillAckman@elonmusk There’s a book called Crashing Through. If you never had sight growing up, brained is not trained to process vision, you cannot just add the circuitry back and expect a miracle. People who gained sight later in life have gone insane.
