The Chinese also send their very best students here to the US for college and graduate school in the STEM fields. Somehow at the end of the day, perhaps not all is lost.pgprescott said:
The Chinese go to school all year round I believe from 7am to @9pm starting in grade school based upon testing. Good luck.thetrim said:
Don't start trying to teach our kids Chinese math.nolaegghead said:Also, feel free to completely ignore what countries that have better math and other scholastic scores do to in order to improve our crappy scores. That's totally socialist or something.
One of my good friends in grad school went to Princeton when he was 16. He was very much American."I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike

If math kills this thread, I will be extremely amused.
I would rather light a candle than curse your darkness.

Sucks, sorry to hear. The studs have obviously been replaced otherwise there would be holes rather than notches for the electrical.______________________________________________I love lamp..

1/2 way through Mindhunter on Netflix. Outstanding!!!!! Must see.

Exactly. How concerned should I be about that? I'm pretty ticked right now because those are effectively 2x4s now.nolaegghead said:Sucks, sorry to hear. The studs have obviously been replaced otherwise there would be holes rather than notches for the electrical.
Looks like the repairs were made from the outside and they left or didn't know that the Sheetrock was infested. -
Might need to poke around a little. Home inspectors amaze me. At least the ones that miss real stuff.Sandy Springs & Dawsonville Ga

There's not a home inspector on the planet that would have caught this one. I just happened upon it and saw a couple of tiny bumps in the Sheetrock under the window sill.bgebrent said:Might need to poke around a little. Home inspectors amaze me. At least the ones that miss real stuff. -

I wouldn't be too concerned unless it's a load bearing wall with a massive load. You can replace or sister them. Or do nothing.DoubleEgger said:

Yup because we don't want to import people that say one bomb plus another bomb equals BOOM,nolaegghead said:
News Alert: "America First" policy is cutting back importing people that can do math. Politically brainwashed parents are watering down math and science curriculum for kids. What could possibly go wrong? #MAGAJohnInCarolina said:Common core math is designed to teach kids some fundamental concepts behind the basic operations, so that they have a better understanding of what they’re actually doing. It is a well researched and pedagogically sound approach.
That being said, its effective implementation requires teachers who are capable of selecting a good curriculum and then delivering it, and we don’t always have both or even one of those in any given classroom.
We are fairly illiterate when it comes to math as a nation, and it’s hurt us. We have resorted to largely importing talent in this space to make up for our own inadequacies. Machine learning algorithms and big data are going to be two of the main drivers behind innovation over the coming century, and math/stats/comp sci is the backbone that holds it all together. We ignore that at our own peril.
A better understanding of math would go a long way towards informing debate on a whole host of issues. I’d say a lot more but it’s easy for these discussions to get political so I’ll stop there for now.=======================================
