First you have to define teacher quality. What should a good teacher provide to their students? Knowledge, ability, curiosity, safety, integrity, self-worth, honor, respect, kindness? Can these be quantified and compared against each other?

They are the general population, look around. Teaching no longer provides a stable middle class life in most areas. They live paycheck to paycheck, struggle to afford housing, feel crippled by student loan payments, and have little opportun

I was a public school teacher that worked in a district that attempted to measure teacher value add. There was limited pay for performance based on that metric. And the district I worked in was majority racial minority and majority living i

Health care and senior care will end up being a massive wealth transfer from the boomers to the wealthy, as they finally turn their paper real estate wealth into hard dollars that they can spend. The financially lucky amongst their children

In Washington DC, Washington National Airport (WAS) is just across a river from downtown and connected by subway, and Dulles International Airport (IAD) was way out past the exurbs when it was constructed and only just got a subway connecti

That's the way it's been in a few parts of the US for a couple of years now and it works OK for the actual community. People who want to purchase it can do so with a little bit of digging to find out where to obtain it, but there&

Keep going further back. Imagine being Robert Hooke and realizing for the first time in human history that every time he looked closer at something under his microscope, there kept being tinier living things. And they didn't seem to ge

0.26 is pretty drunk, in my opinion. A 140lb person drinking 8 shots would leave them close to blacking out unless they drank a lot, and very often. https://www.healthline.com/health/alcohol/blood-alcohol-leve...

There is public benefit to knowing the beneficial owner of real estate. It is the physical assets of a community and the community benefits from knowing who ultimately owns those assets.

Quebec is pretty big so this doesn’t tell the whole story. To picture it as an American, travel from dC to Boston (known for its cold winters). Then keep going the same direction for the same distance again. You’re deep into the northern wi

This is more or less discussed in the link. They started looking at BananaPi products as a starting point, but have some requirements that existing boards don't fulfill. One in particular that probably precludes all of the $30 boards y

OM4 fiber is rated at 10GB up to 500m or ~1800ft, and the amount of current that 12AWG copper could carry at that distance with acceptable voltage drop is pretty low, so you'd probably still need to be stepping the voltage up and down

Unfortunately, no. That’s my pet peeve about Terry Gross, she often gets things wrong and the guest has to correct her. It often sounds like she didn’t prep for the interview at all.

I went to look at the staff for All Things Considered, one of their most popular shows. I see zero hyphenated last names (and zero 3 hyphenated names). Perhaps you are biased. https://www.npr.org/2020/01/01/39

In short: His goose was already cooked, he did so much brazenly stupid stuff in full view of the public and ran his mouth off after doing it that the case looked like a slam dunk. If he went on the stand he at least had a chance of convinci

Based on your previous comment, the remaining 3/4 of students are all murderers, criminals, deviants, disabled, or with parents who aren’t concerned with their education; or some of those 3/4 of students are somewhere in the middl

Because in the US, higher education is largely a personal investment against future earnings, and vets have longer and more expensive education requirements that most jobs, so they need to have higher salaries to justify the initial investm

All people are not likely to die within a decade, but many more will die as a result of climate change than would have if we could stop climate change now. That effect is already happening.

Right now the thing that isn’t working properly is the oxygen sensor, so the engine struggles to rev past 3000rpm. I don’t worry much about the potential danger that puts others in.

As someone who owns a 1970 car and several motorcycles from the 70's, I would say that this is not true in the US. If you're imagining a wealthy guy with a spotless garage that pays top dollar to keep his antiques maintained in ex

PPD? My partner says the lab side of the house is also seeing a lot of changes that will be bad for quality control and long term customer retention. Lots of people there polishing their resumes regardless of how stable their positions are.

They're not working for the seller either, they're working for themselves. They are not a fiduciary to any party. You can get screwed by an agent regardless of who hired them.

For me the disdain comes from the fact that in my time in the classroom, I was constantly given advice on how to do my job from people who either had never done my job themselves, or like the OP had done it briefly before bailing out of the
