You're right, that's probably what she was referring to. I don't think a lot of people realize all the evaluations and things that happen on the unconscious level.

Here, CS, is a current example of how slick argumentation is being used to push forward what is, essentially, a poor idea. The intelligent design ppl are at it again:

Dude, Indie, there should be a class in elementary/middle/high school that teaches students to be open minded, and just that. You can't learn anything without one.
It's really annoying that people do that with evolution and all that. :P
Yes indeed..
another issue came upon my mind.. what do you think of Quality in Education...Is it only filling docs, forms and papers or is it actually the core of the teaching /education process?
Are you kidding me?Quote:

Evolution kicks anything else's ass.
I'm going to start my own school & call it Rational Education. I'm tired of this crap.
Anyone want to teach w/me?
What grades is it for?Quote:

K - 8. I don't want to deal with the high school hormones. And kids are like sponges so best to train them young. School is from 8am - 5pm
Early am meditation (30 min)
Muscular control focus (30 min)
Mathematics (1 hour)
Science (1.5 hour)
Martial arts training (1 hour)
Foreign Language (1 hour)
Creative problem solving (1.5 hour)
(including human interpersonal dynamics)
Lunch/free relaxation time (30 min)
Music/Dance/Art (1 hour)
Final Meditation (30 min)
That's my curriculum.
You guys do know that I just make this stuff up, right?
You need another recess or something, in there.
No. Kids are there to learn & work, not goof around at recess. They get martial arts & muscular training & meditation time. If they need to pee, they just go do it (but let the instructor know). Personal responsibility & self-discipline is to be emphasized.
I should probably include a free study time for older kids, tho.
Fras, I am making this shit up as I go, you read that, ya? ;)
No, you need recess.
Otherwise, your school will suck.
Recess = coffee break for teachers to get away from the little shits.
Troublemakers in my school will be dealt with by their peers, in a democratic fashion with older/more advanced students holding a higher weight in the voting.
You never read Ender's Game, Fras. You should. ;)
I think this is a perfect way for popular kids to abuse the less popular with the teacher's blessing.Quote:

Not popular. They need to earn the right to be able to vote based on their development & performance. Esp in human interpersonal interactions. Its a meritocracy.Quote:

And teachers *would* be monitoring/facilitating, but only to guide the students decision process when necessary. Abuse of privileges would also be dealt with & could result in a loss of earned merit:D
Your parents never let you do this? My son has a say in all our household decisions (that we feel are age-appropriate for him to be aware of). We have a big whiteboard in our kitchen we write our ideas down on & then discuss either at dinner or a formal 'family meeting'. He's coming up w/some surprising ideas these days.
When can we begin?Quote:
