A Better Blog and a Mundane Week
by Yakira on Comments
I am so happy that Kwan actually gets to participate in the Olympics. Win or not it is her last chance and I hope she gets the gold. I agree that she has failed before and that sometimes it isn't fair that to ask to be an acception to a rule, but I feel as if fate is closing a loop when you look up the history of how she didn't get to go 12 years ago. They raise the question "If Emily Hughes had skated better, would that have had an impact on the discussion?" The answer is: No. It wouldn't have mattered how well the third place skater had skated or who they were; it was only about whether or not they were gonna let Kwan go. Not saying it's fair > just saying how it is. Level 23 (84%) Close Talker
What happened to the emblems thread? Katrina Then Katrina Now World Population Calendar Regardless of how you feel about so-called "wmd"s these are an informative sites: site 1 and site 2 and site 3 Disclaimer: I do not claim to abide by any of the claims on any of these sites. I postso that others may educate themselves, at least in this case in the area of knowledge called nuclear weapons. Did Kanye or Mariah win any awards at the Grammys? School was okay. Lots of tests. Lots of papers due. I'm taking Sociology 101 and this teacher is trying to explain something without examples. I'm someone who needs examples. And in this case so does the rest of the class. I led a class discussion on this. She said she'd come up with some examples for the next class. In the next class she did what she had been doing for the past 3 weeks. I always say that in the world of teaching there are 2 categories: good teachers and good people. Sometimes people fit into one, sometimes people fit into either, sometimes people fit into neither. I'll say that so far she fits into only one category. I not only figured out what my problem was with the class but I addressed it in an orderly fashion and explained it in a way that the entire class understood. Why can't she do the same? Is it so hard to actually give an example of what you want? She thinks the class understands because they are all nodding their heads yes in a sucking up fashion but she doesn't seem to notice that no one is raising their hand in class to answer questions or knows how to do the homework assignments. For a person who teaches sociological behavior she doesn't seem to know a lot about it. And on another day we spent the entire class with this girl who took every single topic we had an tried to turn it into a discussion on the differences and non-differences between black and white (races). She also doesn't know the difference between transgender, gay, or crossdresser. She thinks they are all homosexual things, as in exactly the same but all gay. She is loads of fun. Oscar Nominees listed by Award. The most likely to win, imo, are at the top of each category. Likeliness decreases as you go down the list.
