California Crazy

You got nothing. You’ve a long history of nothing. You are nothing, perhaps you know that and that’s where your constant anger comes from. Good luck with all that, seek help.
When you tell people to seek help, you lost the debate. Projection means that you need to seek help with your TDS. (777) TDS- Help

Please continue... long history? Show me please. And to make things easier for me to find I now screen shot your post. No need to dig through your crap that you posy. I'll just have to do it this one time... I always knew you were tool.. I would post more but you've probably got an AA meeting to go to.
 
What I learned from 3 mission projects -- the first building to go up at a new mission site was housing for the Spanish soldiers and priests. The second building was a church. The third building was a gift shop.

My oldest son came home a few weeks before winter break. "We have to go visit my mission for my project."
"Which mission?"
"San Juan Bautista."
After consulting a few maps --"Are there any further away than that?"
"I'll check tomorrow."
"No, wait, that's fine!"

It use to be a right of passage for California school kids, now apparently it is offensive. Who knew after all these years?

My grade school at Aliso Beach in Laguna Beach ((now closed)) went to San Juan Mission and all the birds in 6th grade. We made a cool class project of the place. One of my best pals was our leader and he design a replica and we used popsicle sticks and lots of glue and bushes. This guy is now one of the top architects in town and I believe that class project got him going

My kids still did mission projects, but the details have changed.

They learn a little more about the disease problems at the missions and the relationship with the presidios.

That's fair. The missions were a mixed bag. They meant well and they kick started the growth of modern society in CA. They also did a lot of real damage in the process. You can't just ignore it.

What was offensive was the acceptance of the decades of lies that had disguised the reality of what happened to the natives at the missions.

Then came the boarding schools in the US & Canada...

“Kill the Indian in him, and save the man.”

That was the mindset under which the U.S. government forced tens of thousands of Native American children to attend “assimilation” boarding schools in the late 19th century. Decades later, those words—delivered in a speech by U.S. cavalry captain Richard Henry Pratt, who opened the first such school in Carlisle, Pennsylvania—have come to symbolize the brutality of the boarding school system.

The history of this forced assimilation is far from settled. On August 7, 2017, the U.S. Army began exhuming the graves of three children from the Northern Arapaho tribe who had died at Pratt’s Carlisle Indian Industrial School in the 1880s. The children’s names were Little Chief, Horse, and Little Plume—names they were forbidden to use at the school.

Let's not forget all the free booze and free land to build casino's so Espola and Husker can drink and play games. So sad. My wife is Cherokee and so is my dd.
 
It's not just crazy in CA. Here we have a MI city vying to bring the sweet smell of San Fran (A Poop City, USA winner) to their downtown. I'll note that nowhere in the article does it blame Californians who moved there.


If there's anything that will stem the movement of population to urban areas, it's laws and policies such as these that will drive it.
 

Most countries, from Singapore to Zimbabwe, require three or more years of algebra-based classes, five for students seeking careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Yet the proposed California Math Framework deprives students of opportunities to take deep algebra-based classes, and worse, is based on teaching materials that can only confuse a child’s emerging skills in logic and abstract thinking.

You don't have to read much of the article to set that it includes nuggets of nonsense. For example --

<<
Take the example of a geometry problem in Chapter Two:

“A farmer has 36 individual fences, each measuring one meter in length … the farmer wants to put them together to make the biggest possible area.”

This problem is completely inappropriate: It cannot be solved without very sophisticated math, rarely studied even in college.

The goal of geometry ought to be to develop logic and the idea of proof — that is, presenting statements to show a mathematical argument is true. Here, however, an answer is declared without even discussing the necessity of a proof; it introduces a wrong idea of what it means to solve a problem — something that college professors struggle to undo.

Did you get the right answer?

Here's an update on the state of the mathematics curriculum in CA


This is interesting:

The most prolific and one of the strongest critics of the framework is a colleague at Stanford, Brian Conrad, a professor of mathematics and director of undergraduate studies in math. Conrad said he agrees that math is often poorly taught and needs to be improved. But he faults the framework’s solutions as simplistic, oversold and not grounded in research.

Conrad said he spent spring break reading not only the framework but also many of the sources in footnotes on which the authors justified their recommendations. “To my astonishment, in essentially all cases, the papers were seriously misrepresented” and in some cases “even had conclusions opposite to what was said” in the framework. The misrepresentations of the neuroscience of math comprehension, de-tracking in favor of heterogeneous student grouping, the use of assessments and acceleration call into question the recommendations. Writers, he said, “should not be citing papers they do not understand to justify their public policy recommendations” fitting their perspectives.

History is ugly when shown from all sides. I grew up with Native Americans all around me. One, a teacher, who opened our eyes to many things that weren’t in our textbooks. One can start with who actually discovered the Americas.
 
Oh, by the way California brothers & sisters, Nancy's Hubby Paul tried to give the CHP officer his 11-99 "get out of jail" card. Pay to play did not work this time. Gr8t job Officer, you did the citizens of this State a solid and we all appreciate it, minus the psychopaths on the forum. This is how pay to play works for those with all $$$. "Waivers for thee but not for me" lol!! Karma is knocking on everyone's door. Capitulate b4 it's too late. Come clean and clean your insides so you can have a clear conscious. I love you all, even the psychos on here who have no heart or empathy :)
