ehehe I actually had five different projects at a software house I worked for. I was productive, mostly, but not very healthy tho.

I can't even see comments on this one :/

I didn't know you had a worst educational system that you have. I just knew the individuals.

[–] mstrk@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

You're welcome! And thank you for enlightening me about the education system in the US; I really appreciate it! I wish both of you all the best. Take care as well!

Don't apologize for something you didn't do. I haven't experienced any bad things from North American citizens yet, and I don't believe your leaders can cause enough damage that we can't recover from. Just stay strong and focus on improving things for your community, with education and health being the pillars of a strong one. 💪

they can make changes to their curriculum, but if they can’t pass the standardized tests, they risk losing funding (or having the feds come in to run the school). so, most teach largely to the lowest common denominator.

Yup pretty bad. Once again, this explains my reasoning in the OP.

Thank you!

Okay, so does that mean each state can make changes to the curriculum? That doesn't sound that bad to me... you're essentially like a continent, and amendments to the curriculum could bring some benefits. But I guess the base standards still apply. The one thing I’d caution against, though, is the downgrading of problem-solving skills.

No, I thought basic education was covered by federal taxes. You're telling me it's funded at the county level?? WTF?! Why?

[–] mstrk@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (15 children)

I didn't know that, and it makes a lot of sense. If true, your input on this aggravates the scenario even more. Thank you for sharing!

Unpopular opinion: The USA reached this state due to a lack of affordable, quality education.

I'm open to contradiction.

 

The day a dictatorship was overthrown by red, but not by blood.

The wiki is pretty accurate, according to my grandmother: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnation_Revolution

 

Made four key saves until I finally concede a goal and instantly dropped from 6.8 to 5.1. Was able to grab a ball from a corner and couple of passes since Benfica was pressing very high, to only get a jump to 5.4 😂

I've been pretty much on green with the help of L1 (just in case this could be the issue), except to take this photo.

As in any other game where I'm bellow 7.0, I got subbed at around 70mn when the game stops.

Is Bruno Varela paying Álvaro Pacheco to humiliate me every game just out of spite?

Anyway, I've lost hope in this game long time ago, this was just a reminder why stopped buying it.
