i bet nikita wishes he could ban elon's favorite accounts so bad. i bet he pulls clumps of hair out every time elon himself posts videos that he would silently ban a 200 follower account for. i bet when elon cracks a joke about libtards in the office he has to force a chuckle then angrily mutters to himself in private about how much of an asshole chud he is. i bet he gets angry when elon heightmogs him

If you've followed me for any time at all, you probably know that I'm not a fan of standardized testing. Too often, it does a disservice to intelligent students who don't "test well." It puts too much emphasis on a narrow set of qualities and throws less easily measured accomplishments into the shade. In my opinion, classical educators should be working to promote more holistic and thoughtful ways of gauging academic achievements, rather than proposing new standardized testing option.

However, I'm really struck by this Washington Post opinion piece by a STEM prof at UC Berkeley, and I'm anxious to know your thoughts.

In an effort to broaden access to STEM — science, technology, engineering and math — for more first-generation, low-income and underrepresented students, UC has been running an experiment: expanding admission without reliably measuring preparation...In spring 2020, the University of California’s Board of Regents suspended the use of SAT and ACT scores in admissions amid concerns that standardized tests were inequitable....

Having abandoned standardized testing requirements, UC now relies heavily on high school grades and essays. But grades have been inflated for years, and artificial intelligence has made essays a poor measure of unaided writing and reasoning. An admissions process without a universal quantitative measure is less reliable, less transparent and more vulnerable to human bias.

The consequences are visible in college classrooms. UC San Diego reported that entering students with math skills below high school level increased nearly thirtyfold in five years and roughly 1 in 12 had preparation below middle school benchmarks. At UC Berkeley, 20 to 30 percent of first-semester calculus students have displayed severe preparation deficits for three consecutive years.

Students who struggle with fractions are being asked, in the same semester, to learn far more complex concepts like limits, derivatives and Riemann integrals. Mathematics is like building a tower: Each level depends on the soundness of the one below. A student who has not mastered basic algebra is missing the load-bearing structure on which calculus depends.

Placing unprepared students into the same classroom as prepared ones puts brakes on the entire class. Our UC Berkeley calculus classes now have to pause to explain basic properties of addition and multiplication — for example, that (a+b) c = ac + bc. According to California’s Common Core standards, this material is taught in third grade.

The students most hurt are those the policy was supposed to help — first-generation, low-income and underrepresented students. Hiding preparation gaps does not remove them; it shifts them to the classroom, where they become harder to overcome. While weaker students drown in material they were never prepared to learn, stronger students tune out.

It's an intelligent and searing indictment of the cost of doing away with those standardized tests.

I might need to rethink.

@eve_bouff @mmmi_ya you people disgust me with your hollow, meaningless lives, desperately in search of self-actualization that you will forever remain too inept to achieve

Female activewear is fascinating from the POV of feminism because women starting wearing pants to reject the gender norms enforced by dresses

Now the pants are skin-tight, made of spandex, and leave nothing to the imagination, thus expressing femininity to the extreme

Here's one of Michael Crichton's very finest quotes, especially applicable to climate "science":

"I want to pause here and talk about this notion of consensus, and the rise of what has been called consensus science.

I regard consensus science as an extremely pernicious development that ought to be stopped cold in its tracks. Historically, the claim of consensus has been the first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid debate by claiming that the matter is already settled.

Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because you’re being had.

Let’s be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right ... In science, consensus is irrelevant."

Best to everyone,

@DogPlayingPiano @WallStreetApes People would rather complain and craft a narrative to justify their lack of creativity, basically “if I can’t find exactly what I want in 3 minutes or less then the system is rigged and I am hopelessly fucked because an alternative is impossible to think of”

16 year olds "boys" used to go on pirate ships and other adventures. Society invented adolescence as the world shrank and there were too many males. Had to infantilize them to keep them from forming warring tribes. Adolescence expanded into the 30's. Some never escape.
