There's that lack of civility thing again.

[labrador12]

Yeah, murder and rioting is a lack of civility isn't it?

Let's GO Brandon!!!

....and I think we ALL know who (whom?) I'm speaking of! LOL!

Bubba -
How true.
I often remain silent to avoid offending a certain member of this forum who seems to be obsessed with the word, "nitwit."
I feel sorry for him being stuck in Germany so long.

That can also be carried over to include race ! PC could be greatly enhanced with a little education. A report out of California stated the schools there graduated 84% of their students.....sounds like good news, right ? However, only 26% of those graduates were proficient in reading !!! Just how does America hope to
compete with the rest of the world ?

Math is even worse.

In the name of equity*, some schools/colleges are dropping "advanced placement" math classes.

*standards lowered so that any mental ability can make a passing grade

Math problems are resolved with pocket calculators..

I don't remember how to do long division with pencil and paper anymore.

How about the math required for the asteriod that is screaming at us right now at 24,000 mph and last week NASA launched a satellite they hope to hit it in the side and nudge it off it's present, Earth collision course. If you don't know the value of Math, figure that with your pocket calculator idiot.

You came off sounding like a reasonably mature person until you came to that last word.

If you don't think math is important (which a high percentage of our students are failing) then I stand by my comments - it goes for anybody. Your post was who needs math they have pocket calcullators - that is a stupid remark.

jhjimbo, quoting the HAPOPS: Jimbo -

I can't help but wonder, why do you go on quoting an idiot, who never adds anything of value to any conversation? I find it hard to believe you do not block out his inane comments, much less quote them.

[jhjimbo]

So far he is not one of my blocked. But I don't know why.
