Company bans homeschooled workers

So you advocate a math teacher should be teaching rapping or break-dancing in the classroom?

The US population is getting stupider and stupider because too many GOP idiots are homeschooling their kids. GOP homeschool stupidity is permeating the land. Remember Bush was rallying the Arab countries to join his "crusade"? Remember Bush could not pronounce "nuclear" but he held the secret launch-code of all the nuclear weapons? Bush was definitely homeschooled.

No.

Do you know Newton invented calculus?

Do you know Laplace invented Laplace transform?

Why do you think the math you learned in 1964 is all there is to know?

My math professors in the 1980s had to write their own textbooks to keep up.

That subject is math. Any idiot can homeschool their own kids on all subjects but mathematics because mathematics requires real understanding of the principles rather than simple literacy and memory work.

Why not just leave the job to the real professional teachers?

Do you understand that you lose a little bit in the bucket in every generation of homeschooling?

If you are stupid to start with, you kids will only be stupider, not smarter, if you homeschool them.

The US has become a land of fools as a result of multiple generations of homeschooling. Pity.

Homeschooling is an excuse for depriving kids a real education. The only thing they score big is extra-curricula activities. They roam the streets, amusement parks, and movie theatres. Gangsters are all homeschooled, so to speak.

By your bitterness we can only assume that you got the snot kicked out of you regularly by the home-schooled kids.

I pointed out your errors elsewhere but to briefly reiterate I blame liberal attitudes and loss of discipline in schools along with teachers unions which benefit teachers over students.

The best education is available in charter schools, private schools and home schooling. Public schools in my area have gotten so bad that my kids will not send their kids to the schools that they graduated from. If they cannot get them into charter schools they will send them to private schools.

They write their own textbooks to keep up with their mortgage payments. For example, the calculus text we used was by Abraham Schwarz and was fairly standard in universities. The book is out of print and a text by Spivak seems to be a current favorite. Do you think calculus has changed?

Sure, Ken Ono built on Ramanujan's and Euler's work with partition numbers for one instance so mathematicians are still chewing away on classic problems but unless you were a mathematics major at a good university I doubt that's why your professors were writing. They may have felt they had a better explanatory approach or were just dumbing down the material to match the quality of the students.

Economics is alway changing since it's bullshit to begin with.

I can't remember if Samuelson treated hamburgers in 'Economics'. He talked about guns and butter, favoring butter. His nephew, Larry Summers, drank deeply from the family well. Of course Summers would go broke trying to sell hamburgers, and almost destroyed the US economy with the half-assed acts he persuaded Clinton to sign.

If you think economics is a science, take a look around you.

The classes were actually divided into 4, using homogenous grouping, A, B, C, D. The '60s were not kinder and gentler; D stood for Dumb, C for See if they can rise above their breeding. A's were college bound, and B's junior college or a skilled trade. By decree, the same syllabus was applied to all.

Bush's signature NCLB was the same crap. Some kids are ineducable and it's best to realize that fact and try to teach them something that may be of some use in their lives. But that doesn't work to keep the NCLB numbers up there. After giving it a try, the head of our state education department told the Feds to put the NCLB up their ass. If they wanted, she could send them a few Blackfeet and they could see if they could teach them something.

The US population is getting stupider because the gene pool needs a super- sized dose of pool shock.

Neither could Jimmy Carter and he was a nuclear engineer. Apparently with pretty darn good credentials.

Charter schools and private schools are real schools, unlike home school which is no school. In better countries, not sending the kids to school is an indictable offence.

You still don't understand new knowledge has to be incorporated into the textbook. Do you think the calculus textbook you used in 1964 is all there is to it in calculus? What the hell do you think all the mathematicians having those symposium for?

All cars have steering wheel, engine and 4 tyres. Today's cars have a lot more to it than the ones in 1964.

It sounds like plain out discrimmination, although I'm doubting home schooled folks are protected class.

Education aside, anybody here noticed "homeschooled" folks still tend to seem rather off somehow? There's some sort of weird vibe they frequently have.

The company is striving for mediocrity, leave them alone, because in an open marketplace without government subsidies they'll be outpaced by the better smarter companies that hire the better smarter people, and that means home schooled people.

If you hire people you should start to avoid people with a Government school education and know that they have poor value systems less supportive family networks and lousy educations from a bloated and corrupt government and union system that doesn't care for the student but rather cares about power and money.

The funny thing is that just a week ago the Liberals had the CEO of Mozilla tared and feathered and run out of his position for donating to a pro heterosexual campaign.

The question here is with this pattern of discrimination against home schooling and heterosexuals, will anyone also be looking into this company to find their other acts of sexual and racial discrimination, because where there's smoke there is usually a fire.

To fire someone for their sexual preference is flat out discrimination according to Liberals and yet they did that at Mozilla. The man showed a sexual preference and was fired for it.

More of that famous Liberal fairness.

That was the *GENETIC REVOLUTION* from the sexual revolution and integration.

How did it work?

Babies and sex with anyone and everyone.... I'm all for it but it didn't seem to solve any perceived genetic doughnut hole. So it looks as if that's the wrong tree to go barking up. No cure for stupid in that pill.

So it's "better" for a country to indict parents who care to educate their children, as opposed to offering them resources and support?

You're one sick fascist tool.

So buy a current manual and test tools and press on.
