School walk outs wrong idea!

[evenflow1969]

Here we now have school walk outs as a way of protesting. I think this is the wrong forum for such a thing. Here we are at the end of the school year that when I was in school was the time when the hardest material and finals were coming. This was not the time to miss class when I was in school, it would hurt you acedemically badly!!!!!!! Here we are already not performing on tests like students in other coun tries and now we have decided this is a good place to make a political statement. Adult life and politics will start soon enough. School should be these kids main focus not abortion rights or gun rights. Get ready for finals and prepare for adulthood instead! We nedd to quit taking our eye off the prize!

School walkouts aren't new. Young people have forced some pretty big changes in our country. Young people forced the end to the Vietnam war.

Student Walkouts Have Changed American History Before. Here's How

TIME reached out to people who participated in three of the 20th century’s biggest school walkouts. John Stokes, 86, a retired principal in the Baltimore City Public Schools, was a 19-year-old student at R.R. Moton High School in Farmville, Va., when he helped organize a walkout in which students marched to the local courthouse on April 23, 1951. Janice W. Kelsey, 70, a retired elementary school principal, was 16 when she spent four days in jail for taking part in the Birmingham, Ala., Children’s Crusade on May 2, 1963. Paula Crisostomo, a retired college administrator, and Luis Torres, a former journalist, both 67, were two of the more than 10,000 students who walked out of five Los Angeles high schools in March of 1968 in what was known as the East L.A. school walkouts or “blowouts

I get it, but they were good students back then and did what it took to take care of academia. Todays kids do not take care of acadamia our test scores suck! They need to graduate high school before political activism. I am pretty sure those kids back then got in trouble for missing class, these are school sponsored. I still think we and they would be better off in class at this point in the long run! Protest after school not during! I guess I was brought up that protests and those type of things were to be done on my time not the schools or my bosses!

PS. I tell my kids they get great lattitude for as long as they are on the honor role, fail to make honor roll and the eye of asgard is upon you! They want to skip class and protest, I guess it is their right. Does not mean they are not going to pay the consequences of being grounded and car taken away. My kids do n ot miss class with out consequences!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I say it depends on the hour! My kids are in advanced classes. You miss dealing with fractional exponents and that is going to fuck you for years to come in advanced math. My family tends to be highly technical. Years of math in college. I missed fractional exponents and I paid for 5 years because of it!!! I caught two bass over five pounds that day though!

Really? I don't really remember the earlier ones, but in the 60s, students walking out weren't seen as good students. They were insulted and abused at least as much, if not much more than the recent students who walked out. Were you even around in the 60s? Parental punishment for joining a walkout was a lot worse than being grounded, or having your car taken away too.

According to standardized tests those students way out performed against other countries compared to students today. We have more perfect scores on SAT ACT than we did back then but over all todays students are not performing as well as back then. My lady freind was tellling me that out of her first semester freshman english 101 course that had 72 students in it, only one could write at a college level. That is fucking sad! I do not see it like she does, I deal with engineering students, they tend to be the cream of the crop as far a students go! Those poor soles teacking the 101 classes see it big time though and they say it gets worse every year.

I had trouble noticing any thing other than the short skirts of the sixties. If it was not school, hunting, fishing, or baseball I was not interested back then. Oh, ya and of course those skirts! I sure did like those skirts!

You are wrong! The issue was I did not know what I missed until it was to late. I ended up having to retake my first calculus class and it screwed my schedule for five years. I paid for five years because of it. That is fact. It did not just screw up my calculus class it fucked with my computer programming class because some of my formulas were wrong. DO you have any Idea how many hours you can spend trying to find a calculation bug in a computer program. It does not toss a line error code or any error code at all! You have thousands of line of code and all you know is that the answer is wrong at the end of the program. You have to go over every single line of code. It is tedius and frustrating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ya, there would be no protest if there was not a side that disagreed right?
The other side is evil not wrong or misguided, have they not told you this yet. Even kids are evil for having a diference of opinion now adays. Isn't propaganda wonderfull, it turns your neighbor into your enemy! I must be most evil of all some times I change my mind on issues which means I am traitor and seditous to both sides at times!

And a couple hours of missed class time caused all that? The material was never mentioned again while you were in that class? Sure, Bubba. I believe you.

I guess I was brought up that protests and those type of things were to be done on my time not the schools or my bosses!

PS. I tell my kids they get great lattitude for as long as they are on the honor role, fail to make honor roll and the eye of asgard is upon you! They want to skip class and protest, I guess it is their right. Does not mean they are not going to pay the consequences of being grounded and car taken away. My kids do n ot miss class with out consequences!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really? I don't really remember the earlier ones, but in the 60s, students walking out weren't seen as good students. They were insulted and abused at least as much, if not much more than the recent students who walked out. Were you even around in the 60s? Parental punishment for joining a walkout was a lot worse than being grounded, or having your car taken away too.

According to standardized tests those students way out performed against other countries compared to students today. We have more perfect scores on SAT ACT than we did back then but over all todays students are not performing as well as back then. My lady freind was tellling me that out of her first semester freshman english 101 course that had 72 students in it, only one could write at a college level. That is fucking sad! I do not see it like she does, I deal with engineering students, they tend to be the cream of the crop as far a students go! Those poor soles teacking the 101 classes see it big time though and they say it gets worse every year.

Yet they were still called America hating communists.

Ya, there would be no protest if there was not a side that disagreed right?
The other side is evil not wrong or misguided, have they not told you this yet. Even kids are evil for having a diference of opinion now adays. Isn't propaganda wonderfull, it turns your neighbor into your enemy! I must be most evil of all some times I change my mind on issues which means I am traitor and seditous to both sides at times!

Sober up, and try again later.

I get it, but they were good students back then and did what it took to take care of academia. Todays kids do not take care of acadamia our test scores suck!

That combined with a couploe of mistakes of my own did cause all of that. I tried to take recommended curriculum and play baseball which was a stupid move. Calc,physics,fortran,chemistry, english, and logic along with the other commmitments of first hitting campus was too much. I am not saying it prevented me from graduating but it was a mistake that snow balled into the loss of likey 100 man hours. Not that I realy give a fuck what you think on the subject but it cost me a great deal more than the hour I missed! SO go fuck your self! They should be in school instead!

As far as sober up and try again I have a few programs sitting around here I could put some formula errors and you can try and debug it if you like! Tell me how many hours you spend finding it. I promise it will be a boat load of fun! Give me your email adress I can supply you with endless amounts of this fun if you like!

So your claim that a couple of hours spent on a school walkout could cause that kind of problem was just silly mindless rambling? I'm glad you finally realized that.

Here we now have school walk outs as a way of protesting. I think this is the wrong forum for such a thing. Here we are at the end of the school year that when I was in school was the time when the hardest material and finals were coming. This was not the time to miss class when I was in school, it would hurt you acedemically badly!!!!!!! Here we are already not performing on tests like students in other coun tries and now we have decided this is a good place to make a political statement. Adult life and politics will start soon enough. School should be these kids main focus not abortion rights or gun rights. Get ready for finals and prepare for adulthood instead! We nedd to quit taking our eye off the prize!

Kids will come up with any excuse to get out of class. They had their opportunity to protest and walk out--twice. They can continue agitating for change in their after hours life. Schools need to tell them no more. They can coordinate during Spring Break and go crazy all summer but having another walk out will be old news and not seen with the same sympathy that the protests in March were.

Depends on the language, and how much you pay. I started out punching Fortran on a Hollerith machine, but I've managed to get by with a few others since then.

I bet you are a teacher aren't you! Every thing I said above was true and there are lessons that if you miss it will cost you forever!
