Yeah, this has baffled me before. I remember learning in my Family & Consumer Sciences class about the importance of being an informed consumer. Then, in college I had to get a dental procedure done and I called around to try to find ou

I agree with some of what you said but as an educator, the statement "Not everyone is cut out for college." doesn't sit well with me. Outside of some severe disabilities, I don't think there's anything inherent abou

I got excited for a moment because I thought this might solve one of my minor problems as a K-12 CS teacher. Every school I've taught at is 1-1 with chromebooks and to be able to code on them so far I've set up a Raspberry pi and

As some of "mixed race" these conversations always get weird. Defining a person's race seems mostly exclusionary in my experience. By that I mean, when I'm around a group of people who identify as one of my races, they t

I have a Samsung J7+ purchased in Thailand and it has facebook pre-installed. There's not an option to uninstall, only disable (and when I did so it informs me how to re-enable it at any time in settings).

I am living in Thailand and the elevator close buttons definitely work here. If you don't press it the door can stay open for a very long time.

Same here. Did the degree previously require 12 courses instead of the current requirement of 10? I feel like when I first started looking into the program before I joined it was 36 credit hours, not 30.

Interesting, I worked at Lexmark for a few years and didn't know that. One of my professors at the University of Kentucky worked on Xinu, I wonder if he had any influence on it being used at Lexmark (the university and company are both

I think it's just Unix backwards. One of my professors worked on this and used it for many examples in our OS course. I can't remember if he said that or if it's just what I thought when I saw it.

Maybe I'm the wrong audience for this (I have degrees in CS and Education and have worked in both fields) but this seems very simple/rudimentary and for the most part, doesn't really seem useful. Feels more like an ad for the

Teacher here, can you provide links to studies that support the existence of distinct learning styles? I've yet to find any compelling evidence so it's not that I've discarded the idea but was never presented with a case to a

This very much reminds me of inaccurate perceptions people have of being a teacher since they've had so many teachers they get a sense that they are pretty familiar with the profession but most have only seen one side of it. Also analo

This reminds me of when I explained inverse functions to my kids. I was about to teach them to my grade 10 students and I wanted to use the Dr. Seuss book, The Sneetches to give an example. I asked my kids if I could borrow their copy. When

Ha, thanks for reminding me of Planet Source Code. I remember winning a Superior Code Award for a submission I made on there when I was a teenager and feeling incredibly proud. I even included it on my resume when applying for internships d

It's hard for me to be sympathetic at all toward police, it's a known bias of mine. I grew up very poor in bad neighborhoods and it felt very much like living in a police state. Once, as a kid (maybe 11 or 12 years old) I was ta
