So this is the first ever posting on my blog...yippie. I've had quite an interesting day today, preparing for school to be over, and for my trip to Boston! I'm really excited about going back east to visit my sister Daria, and celebrate my 25th birthday...
I have to take a stupid fucking english class over my summer, because the public school system believes that I need to relearn crap I did in 8th grade. It's humiliating and infantile...but I don't wanna get started on how fucked up our educational system is in California (screw the rest of the country; if CALIFORNIA can't keep up then we're screwed). It's true individual states have proven, through smaller and more homogoneous students, that succeeding in our education of our kids can be measured not necessarily by test scores, but by the amount they have learned. Funding is key, as with my example of a school district in Idaho that has plenty of funding for their schools, and it shows by the quality of equipment and technology available to students. That said, why is it that in California, where the population and amount of federal tax dollars exceeds that of states like Idaho by an astronomical measure, suffer from poorly funded schools that are becoming too dangerous for students. Many people also blame parents, but this rant is aside from the personal failure of "these kids" by their worthless parents that have no interest in their children.
So sorry, that's what I'm talking about. Anyway, if anyone has any thoughts or opinions on any crap I've spewed, or even some arguments of their own, please post them I'm interested in sharing thoughts. Don't copy and paste statistics, quotes, or anything "mechanical" in your posts, however, because this forum is designed to facilitate "natural" and purely individual argumentation; in the respects that the opinions, arguments, facts, etc. that are presented are done so from the individual's own mind. I do make a concession, though, by allowing a small use of certain stats that are essential to an argument, and not just excessive bullshit that doesn't relate only confuses.
Again, this is my firs blog posting so please let me know what's up!! I'll try to post as often as possible, when something's on my mind.
