   Teachers…sheesh! I have a 1912 eighth grade exam that, I’ll wager, none of these “teachers” could come close to passing. The biggest failure in western civilization is our contemporary education system. It produces morons – deliberately! AOC constantly brags about her economics degree. If I ordered a beer from her, what are the odds she could make correct change?

     What’s an odds ?

     🙂

     The solution…private schooling and home schooling

     If i had kids in school I’d hire a teacher and find half a dozen other families and start our own private school

     2 or 3 hours a day should do it.

     set your own ciriculum

     I would need to take the grade 5 spelling class myself

     🙂

       Fully, for ten years I was a curriculum specialist/online class, sales specialist. I have worked with the biggest and smallest districts in Texas. I was floored when the debate started on TV on how they would educate from home over ZOOM. The talking heads were oblivious to the tech out there today. It is amazing, virtual labs, collaboration amongst students, essay writing, text to speech, translation, remediation/acceleration etc. These programs do it all. You can even get a degree at any major university now online. There is no question these programs teach kids way better than an instructor could but they work best when a qualified teacher is in the mix. These programs are successful because they utilize engaging content and they can instruct the way kids learn best. It is funny however if you wanted to bring somebody from the past and not have them experience future shock the best place to debrief them would be in a classroom. The chalkboard hasn’t changed in hundreds of years! I left the world of education because I felt it was becoming hopeless. At least Texas had the common sense not to go along with common core.

       The only REAL problem to the amazing online curriculum is that the social aspect is completely missing.

   My 2 cents..

   This site became a political blog, instead of Technical Analysis for PMs.
   I am neither Dem nor Rep, not even a voter, but PPP (Pandemic, Protests and Politics) making ppl emotinally charged, which will hurt financial decisions.
   I am loosing interest, may leave it soon, how about others ?
   Fully used to moderate political vs TA, now he is promoting this rant.

     Are you referring to my post as a rant?
     Siri, tell Facebook, Twitter and You Tube that someone is being mean to me. I want them doxed, right now! Won’t someone set up a “go fund me” account so I can defend myself against this racist, sexist, homophobe?

     The parameters are clear and make PERFECT SENSE. During market hours all gold, technical analysis and market related discussion. The non-market hours are political and everyday important life affecting discussions. Just don’t participate during non market hours if that’s not your thing. The only complainers are those lefty,socialists who have no ability to defend their indefensible positions.

     Sorry to see you goSiri

     We have the mental capability to tackle 2 agendas.

     1 technical Analysis of the PM and related markets

     2 The most important topic of our lifetimes…which also impact precious metals Investments

     the overwhelming majority favor this approach

     Thanks for your contributions…wishing you well

   On the bright side, the beginning of the school year should take some wind out of their sails 🙂

   Off the top of my head:

   > Rather unrigorous analysis. We do not know how representative of public school teachers these are, even in Portland, much less elsewhere. We do not know whether some of them might be getting some extra pay for their participation (ie, they could be agents provocateurs) perhaps from this or that official or corporate organization (one which may in fact hate the public school system). We do not know what percentage of public school teachers disapprove–an overwhelming majority of Portland teachers may disapprove strongly. Or not. We cannot know from the data.

   > I have never heard of AOC bragging about her economics degree (I may be mistaken–I think she minored in economics), but I pay little attention to her. I do not think she does so “constantly.” I believe such a contention is an exaggeration. I am not sure she even brags much. Others may brag on her behalf. Then people waste their time attacking her. It is rather like a sideshow to distract from real issues, a different version of “Orange Man Bad”. Instead, “AOC Bad.” One argues and against one’s brands rather than what amounts to those behind the corporate entities that put them up. Wasteful and idiotic distraction, ideology run amuck, both sides.

   > In answer to the question, I would think the odds are fairly good that AOC could make correct change, endlessly better than most of her generation, who seem to be pretty bad at arithmetic w/o electronics. (I myself from an older generation am bad at it without pencil and paper at times but not so bad at more advanced math.) I think her politics are rather naive at best but not as rancid as some. She would not get any enthusiastic vote from me and in fact probably no vote at all if she had “D” attached to her name if she were on my ballot. She may develop one way or another, but she seems a bit to me like an intelligent actor chosen to read scripts but fairly good at ad libbing.

     Karl, You are being too modest. We heard back in the day you were a wiz with the abacus.LOL

       Thank you, but I was only moderately good. I had a grandfather (people in my family marry late) who got nearly completely wiped out in the Panic of 1893. He decided to spend the rest of what he had in going around the world. He bought a Chinese style abacus in China and one in Japan. Finally he came back and got a legit job. Somewhat legit. He had a VP title, but according to family lore his major role was finding a major executive when said major executive would go out on drunks, sober him up, and bring him back. In any case, yes, I did get ok at abacus use, thank you. I never remembered where to put the decimal point after using slide rules though.

         Karl, You are fantastic. I was obviously joking.

   Let’s imagine, please, arrests at a rally of “neo-nazis” or alleged “neo-nazis”. Arrests, not convictions. And even if convictions, we do not know how fair the process would have been. Photos of home-school parents or charter school teachers (possibly paid agents, who knows, paid by ? to do ?). Or maybe they are labeled not as home schoolers or parochial school teachers or charter school teachers but (correctly or not) as members of Gun Owners of America. Or simply Trump supporters.

   Orange Man Bad comments (the bigger version of the AOCbadcomments) and tsk tsking all around from much of the corporate media. etc etc. Look: squirrel stuff.
