Imagine you have an intelligence that can’t be accurately measured by standardized testing.
Yeah, I’ll go with that. – Barker Ajax
So, anyway, if you have been following the news closely, the Florida state Department of Education recently rejected 54 of 132 math textbooks submitted by publishers. The books did not comply with its Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking Standards or were rejected for including critical race theory (CRT), social emotional learning (SEL) and more, it said.
Can guess exactly what you are thinking.
Did they make air quotes with their tiny hands when they said “Benchmarks for Excellent Thinking Standards?”
And you are surprised student suicide rates are so high.
Which got me to wondering.
After a couple hundred years of near-complete bullshit in our history tomes, about fuckin’ time they rein in these anti-racist math books.
If Big Dog has three corners and a bag boy with backup at each, how much will he have to pay the Irish Catholic beat cop to have enough cash to purchase a purple Cadillac with velour upholstery?
Suppose we could use more, oh, let’s say, commodious and ameliorative examples of a different nature.
Besides guns and Covid and racism and book banning and voter suppression and inflation and the Republicans’ attempt to Nazify America, there’s obesity.
Almost thong season, people.
What say we sneak physical fitness and proper nutrition and positive body images in other classes?
Call me crazy, but I “composed” – air quotes – a poem for freshman English.
Reach Your Goals With This Surprising Strategy
You can’t reach a goal
unless you have a goal.
But you also might have trouble
reaching that goal
if you over-obsess about it.
Is there another path?
“Yes,”
says evidence-based
running coach Steve Magness.
He suggests an approach
that looks like this:
Set your ultimate goal.
Figure out a bunch
of intermediate steps
on the road to your goal,
little “mini goals”
if you will.
Forget about your big goal.
Instead set your sights
on the mini goals,
one at a time.
When you’ve reached
all your mini goals,
guess what?
You’re ready
for that last, big step
to the maxi goal
you established
at the get-go.
This approach
takes the pressure off
your training and racing,
since you don’t focus every day
on what might seem
almost impossible
at the beginning
of your journey.
Yo, stick with me here.
You know that makes sense.
More white men would need far fewer guns
if they weren’t so damn fat.
True too if they’d only read more
poetry.
Skinnier you are,
the bigger your dick looks.
Just physics.
