In my lexicon, educators and teachers are not synonymous :3

But yeah, you are totally correct

This is just "what educators have known about education for decades" in meme format.

Different people do best learning in different ways. And different people learn different subjects at different rates. Grouping people my age, putting them all in lectures during the day and having them all do task work at home is not a good solution to education.

It was great when it was introduced, because it brought the majority of uneducated people up to a minimum level where they could read and do arithmetic. But compared to what we COULD be doing now that we know more and are better at it, this sort of industrial era "factory line" approach is idiotic.

And educators have known it for a long time now. Government just hasn't caught up

And this is why Tesla is a danger to everyone INCLUDING the people who could actually be saved by real, well-tested, extremely safe autonomous vehicles like Waymo et al.

TESLA IS NOT AUTONOMOUS DRIVING

ACTUAL AUTONOMOUS DRIVING IS SAFER THAN HUMAN DRIVERS

Fuck fuck fuck I hate this timeline so much. We could be saving lives but NOOOOOO we get this bullshit instead

No matter the veracity of the information?

I see. So anything you have not personally experienced is to be disregarded entirely?

There are some great recommendations in other replies already!

IMO the best YA content right now is actually coming out of Japan (where they're called Light Novels)

Some series worth checking out:

• Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World from Zero
• Spice & Wolf
• Ascendance of a Bookworm
• World End - What Will You Do at the End of the World? Are You Busy? Will You Save Us?
• Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?

Don't let the titles fool you (especially that last one). A silly title will often lead to a deep and complex story only loosely related to the title.

The first three I named are some of my absolute favorites.

And this is just the fantasy stuff. If you're looking for sci-fi or rom-com, or something a bit heavier/darker, there are plenty more recommendations I can provide :)

I mean, I totally get it. There is just better stuff out there and it sucks that she got lucky when otherr, better authors don't

The issue I have with this line of reasoning is that there are equally whimsical, better written series that just didn't have good fortune to pop off the way HP did.

It's marketing. And cover art. And simple timing of fads. It sucks. And it funded a horrible person through pure happenstance

In all seriousness, this is what happens when you write novels without doing any world-building and just put down whatever seems "fun". The are sooooo many things in that series that make no sense once they are superceded by later plot devices. Rowling didn't think any of it through ahead of time and gave almost no thought to internal consistency with previous content when she wrote new things.

It's honestly a terrible series in most regards and it's kind of disappointing how popular it became.

Also she a trans-hating bigot. Fuck J.K. Rowling. Can't forget that part whenever discussing her or her work.

This is misleading and dangerous rhetoric.

Autonomous vehicles - actual autonomous ones, not Tesla bullshit marketing "self-driving" - are already significantly safer than human drivers. Yes, they are limited to certain conditions (they don't handle inclement weather very well yet) but the point is that they are already improving safety over human drivers.

Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

Additionally, once autonomous vehicles become the standard, you will see a dramatic shift in how the insurance industry operates.

Think about it: if I'm not the one driving, why would I be the one taking on liability? I wouldn't. The manufacturer would. Suddenly, the insurance industry would be targeting vehicle/software producers instead of individuals. And anyone who chooses to drive themselves anyway? They would almost always be liable by default. Premiums for drivers would skyrocket and this would be a huge disincentive to getting behind the wheel in the first place.

Don't. Let. The. Perfect. Be. The. Enemy. Of. The. Good.

We all lose out. And it costs lives.

Lol check my post/comment history and see how fucking wrong you are

Literally caucused for Bernie.

Everyone is so ready to pick up a pitchfork that you fail basic reading comprehension.

I'm literally just trying to think of ways they could have EXECUTED this. I said nothing of the legitimacy, fairness, justice, or legality of the behavior

It is the bread and butter of capitalist fucks to operate just barely within the letter of the law.

This was never apologia and your (and others) penchant for picking a fight is toxic as fuck.
