    I dunno. I'd agree that hot women are granted a much higher tolerance with men, but at a certain point, no one tolerates your lunacy no matter how you look.

    I'm reminded of the expression "no matter how hot a woman is, somewhere there is a guy who is sick and tired of f-ing her."

    Maths is hard for libtards!

    No one shall learn more than the dumbest kid in class.

    Math is racist.

    This is a great way to prepare children in CA for college and to compete with the world.

    This clearly demonstrates that libtards are retarded.

    In the Name of Equity, California Will Discourage Students Who Are Gifted at Math

    The new framework aims to keep everyone learning at the same level for as long as possible.

    "The push to calculus in grade twelve is itself misguided," says the framework.

    "All students deserve powerful mathematics; we reject ideas of natural gifts and talents," reads a bulletpoint in chapter one of the framework. "The belief that 'I treat everyone the same' is insufficient: Active efforts in mathematics teaching are required in order to counter the cultural forces that have led to and continue to perpetuate current inequities."

    They're right in acknowledging the premises that "gifted-ness" is a result not of genetics but of the "10,000 hours to mastery" process, and that poverty lowers IQ. But they're wrong to think they can either instill a "rage to mastery", or overcome an unlucky draw on the "lottery of birth", at this stage in a child's development--it's too late.

    Biden's family act will be far more effective.

    All great books, particularly The Talent Code which goes into depth on the actual physical changes of the brain that practices.

    That is crazy and sad. Purposely Not helping child learn to the extent of their abilities as a goal... seems to almost be a denial of a teachers and a school systems "Hypocratic oath".

    At least for now I know there are enough motivated teachers who love what they do to help kids learn as best they can...

    However if this is a policy for years going forward... I fell sorry for the next generation.

    I don't disagree, but if you want your kids to succeed it would help if you got rich first. On average, average-scoring kids from wealthy families end up in better jobs than high-scoring kids from poor families.

    Unfortunately, morality doesn't follow the same correlation. Because many rich kids are pricks that grow up to be adult pricks.

    Anecdotal only, but my experience.

    Tend to agree. I recently read a study of drivers of expensive cars vs. everyone else--they really are more rude.
