In my school it meant more homework but the exact same curriculum and teaching. A lot of teachers taught both standard and honors versions of their classes and taught them exactly the same but added more assignments (or papers would be the same assignment but the honors class would have to write two more pages than the standard or something).

then i refine my statement so exclude people's schools which didn't have improved curriculums, but for those that did (like mine) it applies. i've seen the regular classes in my school, they were shit. honors classes: the students feel like learning and the teachers feel like teaching.

My 10th grade world literature teacher is a woman who is Caucasian and 60+ years old.

Our class was going over the novel "The Good Earth" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Good_Earth ), which is about Chinese farmers back in the day. So one day my teacher then asks me, because I am Asian, about my heritage. She asked how my parents met, I said "I don't know" and she responded with "LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE NEEDS TO TALK MORE AT THE DINNER TABLE".

Then, out of no where she asks:

"Does your mother have bound feet?"

I simply said "NO" but I wish I could've went back and slapped her upside the head.

hypothesis: the word evolutionist is only used by overreactionary creationists who are unaware that the more precise term is "anyone with even an inkling of understanding towards modern science and biology" instead of some insulting belief system attribution.

experiment: check it Thats your experiment? Do you realise how horribly wrong that is?
This is why I hate Atheists, they assume that their answer is the SIMPLEST one, if it was so simple people would stop believing in "some insulting belief system"

conclusion: I'm right. Full sentences for answers.

i can't think of any teachers i would/could prove wrong, none of them really gave bad information, or taught us the wrong things, they were just bad teachers.

my 10th grade english teacher would assign us to read entire books over the weekend and then on monday we'd come in READY TO WRITE/DISCUSS and she'd forgotten she had assigned it and didn't plan anything, so she'd just move on to the next thing, or she'd forget she covered something 10 minutes ago, and start talking about it again, i swear she had alzheimer's

several years before katrina, my "social science" teacher did a "what if" experiment about how gas prices would end up outrageous after a massive hurricane levels half of lousiana and ruins several major american oil rigs in the gulf.

i would go back in time and tell him "it happens."

hahahaha, that's just incredible.

I've had good teachers my whole life sorry! well there were a few bad ones mixed in, but they were nothing like what you guys are bringing up. I've always gone to schools known for having good teachers

I've had two bad teachers in college (psychology and philosophy, the dumbest subjects) and they were both old women who should retire, which kind of makes me feel bad for saying this

they're still really dumb though.

why does everyone make a fuss over the words "evolutionist" and "evolutionism"? do you want me to say "SOMEONE WHO BELIEVES IN EVOLUTION" every single time? i only say it because it's easier. and evolutionism instead of just "evolution" is what i called it when i was little... it stuck with me. xD i didn't think it mattered. (the first time i ever heard it as being something Christians say is matt.dk's rant. i didn't know it was something anyone smart cared about.) but if you really require me to go back and edit my post so every "evolutionist" becomes "a person who believes in evolution" and so the "evolutionism" is turned into "the belief in evolution" for you to read and even respond to my post and not just those 2 words, then i will.

EDIT: dude, i only even said it once. i don't see what the difference is between the original and what i replaced it with... -_-

by someone who believes in evolution do you mean the entire scientific community minus a handful of nutcases, and the modern world including some religious people minus people who don't want to believe the evidence right in front of their eyes

get out

mkkmypet doesn't believe in capital letters:
Quote from: mkkmypet
i've always not used capital letters in those cases, because i think that they shouldn't be capitalized; it doesn't make sense to me.

I like this. Why do we have capital letters? Do we really need them? Studies have shown that lowercase letters are easier to read than uppercase letters!

Quote from: mkkmypet on March 31, 2008, 01:07:23 am

i've always had ~~evolutionist science teachers~~ SCIENCE TEACHERS WHO TEACH EVOLUTION.

Before the invention of creationism, which is an attempt to blur the line between religion and modern science, "evolutionists" did not exist. No modern scientific theory* has ever been proven so well as evolution has, so anyone who disagrees with it is simply a bad scientist. There are few words that I have a problem with, but "evolutionist" is nothing but an attempt to cast doubt on the validity of the theory of evolution by putting those that believe in it into a separate group, as though it's "just one group out of many".

* In case you're going to complain: yes, evolution has been proven, not in the sense that it's proven to be logically necessary, but in the sense that there's such an incredibly large body of truth that supports it that you'd have to disprove entire branches of science in order to disprove evolution. The theory of evolution is practically as solid as propositions such as "the Earth revolves around the Sun" or "the Earth exists".

oh, oh oh, i remember one time along time ago in the 3rd grade, I came to class and my teacher mrs.godsy (ew name) said that if we ever get attacked by a bully is chool we need to tell the counsler, Wtf? I todl the counsler and he said I was lying. the next day the asshole named eric who beat me up came by and told me if I didn't give him my pokemon emerald game (At the time I was th eonly one in oregon with one because my mom purchased it for me illegally online from japan) he would beat the crap out of me, So I kicked him hard in the nuts, and stepped down hard on his hamstring (I think thats what its called) and fucked up his foot for a while, Whiel showing proof to my counsler that I had been gettign beat up for many years by this guy, he said "Well you should fo told me about this." God damnit that pissed me off. I told the principle and he fired the counsler and got some fat chick who did an even worse job. I spent the rest of the 3rd to 6th grade beating the shit out of people who tried to take my shit or bully me.

You guys sure shit all over this topic so you could get in a few barbs at mkkmypet for some reason!

My grade 11 Computer Science teacher (who was a business teacher) knew NOTHING about computers. We were making webpages one day, and I had dreamweaver (or whatever the fuck we were using at the time) open, and she came over and started yelling at me about how I had programs I wasn't suppose to have, even though the only program I had was the one she just told us to open. When I pointed this out to her she said something like "don't let it happen again" and walked off. Another time, when I was genuinely slacking (with my group on a group project), she came over and said "come on guys get to work, we've got to turn this team around 360 degrees!" to which I quickly responded "ALRIGHT". She stood their for a moment then said "180 degrees" all sad and walked off.

Really all my stories are about me wanting to slap my teachers in the face, because I already did tell them they were wrong.

FACT: Without capitalization, it is a lot easier to interpret Greek translations (which lacked spacing) of ancient Hebrew scripture (which lacked capitalization and punctuation) in any way you want!

derail, can someone find me a serious feminist article/movement about why capitals should be removed from the language?

I get bell hooks's reasoning (as a black female she's been marginalized and disenfranchised more than anyone else, and so she...represents...) but I can't find nothing else about it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_hooks ahahhaha wikipedia christ that is the worst picture!

all i have is feminist articles about how the english language is THE WORST EVER because it's an ancient product of masculinity and it only caters to men and we should default to "they" instead of "he" when referring to generic objects and shit like that

"Further, the presumed incompetence and immaturity of women are evidenced by the linguistic company they keep. Women are categorized with children ("women and children first"), the infirm ("the blind, the lame, the women"), and the incompetent ("women, convicts, and idiots")."

I HAVE NEVER HEARD THIS BEFORE OUTSIDE OF THE TITANIC AND THE HISTORY OF THE FOUNDING OF AUSTRALIA. Does anyone actually say this today????????

On-topic: I didn't have any horrible high school teachers, thankfully. My catholicism professor last semester told us that "I have nothing against homosexuality..... but there's something just not right about that" and (speaking about HOMO SEX) "To those who say that the penis can go anywhere, I say this: You can put ANYTHING anywhere. You can put a nose in there too. But does that mean it should go there? Of course not."

uh, (Key, 1975:82) lets see

Key, M. R. 1975. Male/Female Language/ Metuchen, N.J.: Scarecrow Press

but it might be referring to a later sentence in the paragrah, not sure (The use of these categorical designations is not accidental happenstance; "rather these selectional groupings are powerful forces behind the actual expressions of language and are based on distinctions which are not regarded as trivial by the speakers of the language")

edit: ok so if you are at a nightclub that bursts into flames are the bouncers going to say WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST *points to exit*. Like, does this still occur today. I understand that it's probably very common on a mental level in a sense that men are more likely to open the door and let kids and women enter the grocery store first but.... does anyone SAY THIS
