It's funny to call it naive approach when it works perfectly well in many European countries. The so called "modern" approach doesn't even favour disadvantaged students, it simply favours children of well-off favoured mi

Even though it didn't end up well for her, it's nice example of how non-technical person can "hack" the system. She definitely has hacker mindset.

Possibly https://www.edx.org/course/precalculus - it's supposed to be "credit-eligible". You would probably need to check to make sure it counts.

Don't put words in my mouth. No, I think that UK citizens, both police and others should have right to efficient self-defence. Despite what you might think, UK is not some safe paradise, it has significantly higher levels of violent cr

True, but it also forces civilians to defend from terrorist attacks themselves, even having to resort to use of improvised weapons like narwhal tusk or fire extinguisher. Both US and UK are extremes which shouldn't be taken as role mod
