  • An AI School, With No Teachers, To Open in Chicago This Fall

  • That’s why Oklahoma does emergency certifieds! Any bachelor degree gets you in a classroom. You can fail your tests for up to three years, and then usually they’ll extend that deadline anyway! So you get people who can’t get hired to do anything else, and realize that they can just get away with sitting at a desk/ignoring everything they’re supposed to do.

    Actual teachers walked out half a decade ago because it’s 60+ hr/week of being a social worker/punching bags. (Fun fact: teachers are exempt from overtime!)

  • Yep! Parents can pay to have their child kidnapped and tortured. Fuckers like Dr Phil even broadcast kids getting shipped off to rape camp to audience applause.

    The US refused to sign the UN convention on the rights of the child. There’s really an understanding that parents own their children. You can deny schooling (my brother was “homeschooled” for years - he played video games and jerked off while my mom nodded on benzos -and my attempts to get intervention were laughed off), you can deny medical care (how many dead JW kids from the blood transfusion bullshit?), do anything short of causing obvious bodily harm.

    Child liberation is a necessary civil rights movement.

  • They will crash and burn when they get dumped into a totally different learning environment with kids whose parents can’t afford $55,00 per year for elementary school tuition.

    I’ve seen this happen a billion times with private school kids. Private schools suck at teaching math. It just doesn’t happen. Those kids drown in Algebra 1.

  • Recent fun one was helping a kid design a poll about favorite SCP’s and having a discussion about population versus samples.

    There does seem to be a stagnation in culture in that most of my middle school cultural touchstones are still there. I can hold my own in a conversation about Naruto because I’ve been around people obsessed about it for two decades. My Chemical Romance and Fallout Boy are still popular.

  • I’ve helped picked up the pieces after similar “educations” and it’s bad. Teaching adults how to carry in addition or the concept of a variable. High school students that don’t have their times tables.

    Education is a fundamental human right. The Right has been working to strip it in the US since Brown v Board of Ed.

  • Another big one is making it personally relevant.

    It’s amazing how much knowing about Roblox, Fortnite, Minecraft, or stupid TikTok memes can win over a kid. I love doing unit conversion with Vbux or whatever.

    And 6-7 has been a godsend to teaching math.

  • Which is obvious to anyone who has read theory about how we learn.

    The right amount of struggle is critical to learning. When I tutor or teach, I don’t just give them the fucking answer, which is what AI does. With AI, there’s no tolerance for confusion or having to process things - it’s just type in the question and copy/paste the answer.

    There’s just a fundamental ignorance of learning here with the push for AI - as if knowledge is just a list of facts.

  • If the student is willing to learn, and knows to take breaks when they lose focus

    Maybe 5% of students are capable of this. But that same 5% will thrive regardless of setting.

    What is warped is that struggling students who do not have the ability to succeed in online classes are the ones that are pushed to take online classes. I have worked with many students who failed their in person high school classes, were placed in online classes and did absolutely nothing until they crammed everything at the end of the year.

    That’s not how learning works, and it’s fucked that the students who show clear lack of executive functioning are placed in classes that require more executive functioning. Like fuck, I’m a grown adult and I can’t do online.

  • Immediately, the word was spread that computers would replace teachers. They didn’t.

    From my context: Oklahoma’s biggest school district is Epic Charter Schools, an online charter. Teachers have class rosters that can range from pre-K to adult high schoolers, without the expectation that they be certified in any of the subjects they are teaching.

    It is entirely “grading” online course work (eg, putting in 100s for AI generated essay garbage) and trying to make sure the kids actually log in at least once a week (many families know that they just not do anything for two weeks, then log in to do a 3 question “bellwork” for attendance to not be kicked out/still get access to the fun money “learning fund” from the government)

    Oklahoma also has “emergency certification” where any bachelors degree is enough. There was recently a bill trying to ensure that adjunct teachers have high school diplomas at bare minimum.

    So while you can’t replace teachers with computers, they’re trying!

  • Learn where the clitoris is. A good chunk of women, perhaps the majority, do not orgasm from penetration alone. Clitoral stimulation is what you are looking for.

    The other part is communication. “Do you like that/does that feel good?” Start with circular motions. Some don’t like direct stimulation on the clit more in the area around. Everyone’s body is different, and something that drives one person wild might be uncomfortable and annoying for someone else.

  • This bill is simply making it so Oklahoma state lawmakers cannot drink while on the job. Which apparently is a problem.

    (Our First Lady has crashed two state vehicles under the influence. No blood test, no loss of license. Governors son was drinking and caught with guns he wasn’t supposed to have. There were no consequences.)

  • There was stuff stronger than 3.2, 3.2 was just the limit for grocery stores and gas stations. Anything else had to be from the liquor store, and couldn’t be cold. So you were out of luck if you wanted Dogfishhead or nicer brews that needed to be refrigerated.

    The state is corrupt to its core - the FBI was literally created because of a massive and high level conspiracy to bomb Osage natives and take their land rights, which the Oklahoma government could not be trusted to investigate. There are lots of small towns where the law is whatever the guy who owns the car dealership says.

    Drummond will probably win, which is goddamn frustrating because he presents himself as a “moderate” when he’s just as raving of a lunatic as the rest of them. (Refusing to press charges on the cop who beat the shit out of that Vietnamese man, not doing shit about Walters…)
