on: Some school districts plan to end the year early, call remote learning too tough
I don't have a problem with common core, I like that kids gets to see all the different ways to solve a problem. The problem I see is that schools are testing all the different methods instead of asking the students to use the method to solve the problem.

Okay, I'm wrong for saying that. I apologize.
What I'm trying to say is that I would bet money everyone would benefit from some sort of counseling in their lifetime.

And tell your partner that you're going to therapy, you'd be amazed at how supportive they can/will be.

I can't really think of anyone that DOESN'T have any mental issues. It can be as simple as self-doubt, especially if you're married with kids. I believe men suffer tremendously but never seek the necessary help.
I'm lucky enough that my employer allows for free sessions, and I have and will continue to seek treatment since I benefited so much.
It's important to note that you HAVE to want it. If you have any bit of doubt or skepticism, it will work against you.
Just accept it as someone looking to really help and it will help!

on: Federal Judge Upholds Harvard's Race-Conscious Admissions Process
To me that's crazy, to say "I know you're smart and worked hard to get the best GPA but don't bother applying to these schools since you're not vibrant enough."
I'm not saying the school has to take everyone, but we're focusing on discrimination here. How is that not discrimination? "We're not letting you in because of the intangibles, what is that intangible? We can't tell you."
How do you even measure vibrancy? So if a student excels academically that means he/she is not vibrant?

But why? why can't it be an option? question is, there's only a few things in life you can control, SAT and grade being one of them. How do you work on something that you have no control over?

I think you're missing the point, for asians "being asian" has become a bad thing. You can't be smart and play piano and excel at tennis if you want to go to an ivy league, you have to do "non-asian" things. Isn't that crazy?

So we use tell the kids to study hard, get good grade and test well in the SAT/ACT. What exactly do we tell them now? How exactly do you tell a kid to be "awesome"?

on: Billionaire’s Guide to Buying Your Kids a Better Shot at Elite Colleges
It's not like $37M is all they have, $37M is nothing to them, so why not? It's the price of prestige, it's the price to get the best damn education possible. Ask any parents, if it will give their children the slightest of advantages in life, parents will go out of their way to make it happen (especially if it's easy as spending money)

As much as I can welcome more options for EVs, I just can't trust VW with electronics and software. It's catch-22, traditional automakers sucks at electronics and software, but tesla sucks at making cars.
