| Yeah... the next gen are just sad.
So yeah, case in point, on Thursday I had to explain to a high school senior that "raghead" was a racial slur. He thought that was just another name for Middle Eastern. |

| Welcome back, dude. I don't think posts from that long ago should be a problem. | |||

| It sounds interesting... but how skilled do you have to be to make it worth buying? | |||

| Oh... that man's in for a surprise, lol. I can't believe he actually made the mistake of saying that.

| Granted. It appears in your living room along with a contingent of armed Conquistadors who were carrying it.
I wish for a nice cup of earl grey tea. |

| So I now have two short stories that shall be published. The first one is in the Pathfinder Chronicles Anthology Vol II and the second just got accepted and finalized for Vol III. They are officially considered fan fiction so I don't get paid for them, but it is two publishing credits that I can use later on when I go to get actual stuff done. This makes me quite happy!
According to Ted, the guy putting the books out, he is working on adding a section to the website for the Chronicler to allow people to "donate" in exchange for getting copies of the books or posters of the cover art. Which is awesome, because it lets more people get their hands on copies of the books. (Last edited by Elara on 04-28-13 08:30 PM) |

| I usually don't get to watch Game of Thrones until Tuesday because of work, but I am better with handling the spoilers since I already know what is coming... except when they change shit. Then I get cranky.
Been getting caught up on Castle recently. Such a fun show! |

| That Q&A segment was great, and I loved the special guests! Actually some really great questions there... I wouldn't have even thought to ask about the elves of Mirkwood. | |||

| All geek icons have their flaws. I like Felicia Day and Joss Whedon. Are they the be all, end all? No. No one is.
And that show... I cringe even calling it a show... I refuse to even watch it and I feel bad for any self-described nerd or geek that auditions for it. |

| Astrophel... a valid observation... but you have to admit it is true.
And... eww. Just... eww! I've never understood hybristophilia at all. |

| I finally got around to watching DS9 last year and I honestly loved it. I thought that it gave a lot of extra insight into the world of Star Trek in general... and I absolutely adore Worf so I loved all the Klingon stuff.
I also love the DS9 uniforms. |

| I would think that it would be more useful to see what methods those other countries are using and try incorporating some of those.
My personal recommendation? Get rid of the giant pile of standardized testing. It hurts teachers because they don't have enough time in the year to teach their subjects adequately... it would be better if they themselves could just give one big exam in each class that actually deals with the subject they are teaching. No pressure to teach to this big standardized test. Our education system went down the drain when the standards movement came about. I get the noble intentions, but you know the saying about them... and we have totally gone down that path. The point of school is to educate your kids to be good citizens in America... I don't think we even do that anymore. Education should give you the tools and knowledge necessary to be a good individual and to understand what the hell is going on around you. It should teach you to think, it should give you the background so that you don't walk blindly into a situation... how do you get a loan without knowing how to read it and do the math to figure out if you are being screwed? How do you vote for a candidate if you don't look into their history or know how the voting process works? How do you cook and not blow up your house if you don't understand basic chemistry and physics (mixing and heat transference)? Is the A-F system a problem? I really don't think so, no. It can be when teachers set stupid grade ranges, but that is a problem with that teacher, not the grade system. |

| Indeed it is, which makes me super excited.
Now I have to get off my ass and actually write something. I've kinda fallen into a funk with Darkfang where I don't know if it would do as well now as it would have when I started it... but at the same time I still want to finish it just to see. |

| While I do agree that a great teacher makes all the difference, what I meant was those insane teachers that have grade ranges of "An A grade is a 100-97, while a B is 96-85, C is 85-70, D is 69-55, and F is 54-0"
I've seen graders like that... it is stupid. And don't even get me started on the whole +/- thing. |

| It is amazing that such a common sense question actually gets through to people and makes them think about it, and even reconsider their position. | |||

| Honor the religion and bury him according to custom... because we are better than that. Burning the body or desecrating it in some other way might feel good for petty vengeance, but it provides a rallying point for those who hate us more than any headstone ever will. |
