Social Justice Wednesday
Humpday dumpday!
British asks parents to help their four-year-old children "pick" their gender.In England, the city of Brighton and Hove is making history in terms of political correctness. Parents of children preparing to enter the school system received a letter informing them that they needed to be cautious when filling out their child’s registration forms and not rush into anything complicated like identifying whether they were boys or girls. You see, that's a really complicated question these days and you need to help your children "pick" which gender they want to be.You need to shut up now. National Review and the new Social Justice Warrior-fighting blog Heatstreet got emails from the University of Missouri during the protests, and they depict mass bullying and threats of violence. From, of course, the people claiming to be oppressed.
On Oct. 7, as the protests had started to pick up steam, a student wrote to the chancellor describing her encounter with a group of Black Lives Matter supporters. "Everyone has freedom of speech and expression," she wrote, "but this was a large group of people. I know '’m not alone in saying that I felt very unsafe and targeted when I encountered them," describing "people screaming at me from the sidewalk." She wrote that "all lives matter and discrimination should be fought against," but she feared "that group brought more division, hostility and discrimination than that one man [yelling racial slurs] could have."I'm going to go ahead and guess the slurs were being shouted by those allegedly protesting slurs. But they can't be racist. The university grew concerned at the increasingly confrontational, harassing "protests" that intruded into dining halls and the like. I like this out-of-context fragment:
.. The student, whose gender and race is unclear...No shit.
More at the link, including videos of the harassment, and threats to escalate into violence. Finally, according to Newsweek (though this link is to Hot Air), the movement to end "period shaming" is going "mainstream." Yeah. Well, consider the source.
... That same day, a parent wrote to the heads of the university on behalf of her daughter, who she said was so frightened she was trying to transfer out of the university. "My white female student is being mobbed on her way to class and shouted at while being pushed claiming she’s a racist solely because of the color of her skin. … In the last 2 days she's had 3 cancelled classes so her teachers could participate in this nonsense. So we’re paying for our child's teachers to protest instead of educate?" she wrote.
Period? Like an epoch?
Open thread.

Unless by period shaming they mean trying to avoid staining your clothes and keeping your trap shut in polite company about bodily functions that involve bodily fluids, like all decent humans.

Gee, maybe Britain and much of the rest of Europe shouldn't have for all intents and purposes dumped Orthodox Christianity and instead gone with the progressive "church" of how you feel.

I don't feel sorry for the students being intimidated, any more than the gropees in Europe deserve our sympathy. These assholes are getting what they deserve, and in their masochistic delusionality, they are getting what they want . They won't wake up, so thankfully, they will be naturally selected out.

That's the difference between the left and right.
The left fights with all their might utilizing any and all tools, employing any and all methods to obtain their objective.
Setbacks are never accepted, no is never the answer.
Push forward, muscle through, sometimes they move forward an inch, sometimes they will strategically pull back a foot only so they can get better footing so they can move forward a yard.
Press on, move forward, Win!!
The right?
They fold at first contact with the enemy, wouldn't want to offend the moderates, independents, unmarried single women or Latinos.
There is a lesson to be learned here.

Isn't picking a "gender" deciding whether you think you are masculine or feminine, not male or female. This also applies to bathrooms - the left is purposely obfuscating the differences between "masculine" and "men" and "feminine" and "woman". We don't have "masculine rooms" but "men's rooms". An effeminate male doofus is still an actual male.
When they are letting these kids pick their "gender" they are really letting the guys choose if they wish to be known as "feminine" and the girls as "masculine", though they are still, obviously, boys and girls, respectively.
P.S. It's a real pain in the ass when the posts have illegal characters in them. I mean ... FFS.

Don't gross out guys. Just tell her ... "It's natural. No big deal. All good."

The answer is no. Muslims worship Satan. Their "Allah" is incomprehensible, does not display any trait that he conforms to any system of order, tells his followers to kill infidels and rape women, and enslave anyone else. Allah also tells them to lie to those who are disbelievers, and to go on jihads against anyone who might object to them taking over the world. So, Satan. Pure and simple.

I'm already the "bad" mom for standing up for my boy in elementary school. The teacher keeps saying that he is failing because he forgets to turn in his homework. So, silly me, I ask why the teacher doesn't announce that homework should be turned in once a day or so. I was informed that 10 year old boys are old enough to display the maturity to do so on their own.
So, no adults, either teaching or supervising.
But hey, the teacher IS working on his Master's degree, so there's that. I'm not at all sure what Master's degree, but he really is working on that.
Almost made me want to pat the teacher in the head and say "good boy" or something.

If you don't want to be on his bad side of God you're probably not (aide from the idea that we're all sinners), just as if you are worried about committing blasphemy against the Holy Sprit, you haven't.

PMS? Yeah the Duchess tried that excuse when we were first married. Having none of it, I explained that sometimes I'm a total asshole. When that happens ill own up to It, not blame it on some hormonal balance. Want to be a bitch, be a bitch. Quit making it out to be something out of your control. PMS works as an excuse for women 18-29.

The couches are only at really nice department stores like nordstroms or neiman marcus. Not Macy's for instance. A restroom couch might be in the church bathroom, or at work. Definitely not at all or even most bathrooms. So either super nice department stores or gathering places where they know you. Not anywhere else

A number of us used to work until the small hours (a lot easier to get stuff done when there was no one around), and occasionally some of us had to do experiments that took 18 hours or so. One guy's experiments necessitated taking measurements every four hours, and it was from him that I learned about the couches in the women's can. We used to laugh about it.

BonerS? I have a strict one boner per shower stall rule. It's a safe zone. I like to handle the soap in a devil-may-care fashion, and be able to drop the soap with impunity. Even a small extra boner would constitute a macro-aggression. Don't care how clean it is. Check your boners at the bathroom door or find your own shower stall. I'm thinking of making a sign.

If you can convince a little baby child that there is no such thing as "HE" or "SHE" - that those are arbitrary terms to be plucked out of the air on a whim, that whole child's sense of reality is going to be distorted for a very long time. It is a total mind-warp. They will learn to trust nothing and to grasp on to someone who seems stronger than they are, just to have some stability in their life. This leaves them open to predators. We are to protect our children, not set them up as bait.

I think this was when he knew that his Mom had been killed when Buenos Aires was nuked, and thought his Dad was dead too.

I'm listening to Bob Dylan's "Shadows in the Night" again.
It's an album consisting of old standards that were all covered by Frank Sinatra. Not your usual Dylan album, to say the least.
I'm a Fool to Want You
The Night We Called it a Day
Stay With Me
Autumn Leaves
Why Try to Change Me Now
Some Enchanted Evening
Full Moon and Empty Arms
Where Are You?
What'll I Do
That Lucky Old Sun
I bought it last night. It's been out for a year, but I never got around to it until now. I liked it immediately, and this is my fourth listening. It's very relaxing.
(When I was a kid, my parents had a recording of "Autumn Leaves" by Andy Williams that I liked.)
There are 888 customer reviews on Amazon, and they run the gamut. They make interesting reading. The overall rating is 3.6 stars. There are a lot of 1 star reviews, but they are greatly outnumbered by the 5 star reviews.

The musicians on the album are his regular touring band that he's been playing with for years, augmented in places with tastefully muted horns. Those guys are awesome. They can play anything.

This is not a totally knew concept to the British. Circa 1768 deep into the vast voids of the south pacific, Captain Cook found several of his young crew to possess a feminine nature.

I actually was reading about some of the former Manson family members last night. I heard one of them, dang - I forget his name - Bruce something? - I dunno, anyway he became a follower of Christ and had a prison ministry for many years before he passed away couple of years ago. The program was a recording obviously, since he's dead. There was someone else in the Manson family who came to faith in Jesus as well. Can't tell you the name of him either. I'm just a fountain of information.
Anyway, it just goes to show that no one - not one - is beyond the reach of the love of God.

The 1 star reviews fall into roughly three categories:
1. Dylan fans who are like, "He's the greatest songwriter evah! I want to hear his songs, not some fucking lounge music!"
2. Dylan fans who are like, "Hey, I like Dylan as much as the next guy, but come on."
3. Sinatra fans who are horrified and feel violated somehow.
My favorite review was a 5 star review by a guy who is a fan of both Sinatra and Dylan, and burned his own CD featuring Frank's and Bob's versions side by side, to compare and contrast. He even provided a list of the various Sinatra albums containing his versions.

"Do Jews, Christians and Muslims believe in the same God?"
I've heard several times now from multiple independent sources that the public school educrats are going flat-out on the "Christians and Muslims believe in the same God" business. As in: specifically built into the lesson plan in Common Core social-studies classes.
Of course, if we accept that particular premise for purposes of argument, it leads inexorably to some difficult questions for the left:
"Since you've been telling us for ages that Christians are ignorant backward cretins, then if Christians and Muslims 'believe in the same God', does it not logically follow that Muslims are also ignorant backward cretins? And how long will it be before you start publicly describing Muslims as such?"

And sometimes, all three.
I know that a lot of girls were sneaking smokes in the toilet in high school. You could smell it on their breath.
And there was always a place (at least a couple) where the cigarette smokers (teenagers) would gather during lunch to smoke, outside. The pot smoking took place inside cars.
What was funny was when some of the teachers and kids were smoking together, and some teacher wanted to bum a Marlboro off some kid.

Of course the Bible has violence and atrocities in it. Heck, a good portion of it is history. Stuff happens. That doesn't mean God's on the hook for it. Hence the concept of Sin.

The question that should be asked is our modern conceptualization of Satan based on the historic reference or is it colored by out violent interaction with whatever it is the Muslims worship.

A college degree is something that you should only think about getting after you have acquired a marketable talent / trade / vocation.
Of course, once you have tasted that kind of success it will be a hell of a lot harder to take your Professors seriously.

There are plenty of good colleges and universities out there, that aren't pro-SJW all the time.
Every university is going to have its SJW element of course because it contains a cross-section from a diverse set of populations.
I would suggest looking at the mid-sized public regional universities. Not the snooty private ones, and not the super-huge big state universities (which are a rip-off in lots of different ways, not just academically).

I'm beginning to think that this whole "gender identity" thing is a con by the medical industry.
Old world:
young boy: Mommy, I want to be a girl!
Mommy: you're a boy. Here's a truck.
Problem... solved.
New world:
young boy: Mommy, I want to be a girl!
Mommy: First, we'll get you to a psychiatrist. Then, after several years of therapy, we'll visit a surgeon, and you'll start on hormones. Then, after a while, you'll have an operation and you'll be a girl! After awhile, you'll find out that you're really suffering from gender dysphoria and will become suicidal. Then we'll send you back to a psychiatrist, who will refer you to a surgeon, who will then turn you back into a boy.
Problem: profits the medical industry.

As far as colleges worth, It depends on what degree track your interested in.
I chose comp sci and math most of my professors were Hasidic Jews, my classes were 99.9pct male and 0pct SJW.
And this was in the Bronx at a tumultuous time in the late 80s early 90s when all of the shit we're experiencing now was first incubating. When Latino studies, women's studies and black studies was becoming all the rage.
Stick to the hard sciences and you won't have to deal with this shit, mostly.

Can anyone recommend a historically white European university where they
focus on learning and critical thinking instead of fucking cock sucking
special snowflake social justice assholes (no, they are not "warriors"
and should never ever be referred to as such)
--
Maybe Hillsdale College, which is a small conservative college in Michigan.

The Left always wanted to start from "year zero", and it looks like once they've purged the past of reality, they'll get exactly what they wanted when civilization collapses... at least until invaders march in.

It's always about New (Insert adjective here) Man. They think they can just throw out history and start fresh and everything will be rainbows and unicorn farts. It's the idiotic dribble of Rousseau magnified by centuries of echo chambers and accepted as the word of God.
There is no noble savage. Mankind, in his natural state, is a barbarian - and not even the cool Conan type. Civilization isn't where we went wrong from our baseline state, it's how we've overcome it. But these people get everything wrong, it's their nature, and it starts with their central assumption that there is no objective truth.
When you reject truth, all that remains is lies and madness.

Minimum whining, minimum excuses, and if they couldn't cut it, they didn't come back next semester.

O'Reilly *is* Ted Baxter. The other day, he couldn't understand where the notion of 1237 delegates came from. Why that number? His guests couldn't understand what he was really asking and explained that the number of total delegates is determined by a mish-mash of various state and national party rules.
That wasn't the problem. O'Reilly didn't understand the concept of a majority, you know greater than 50%. Some letter writer explained it to him, and he said, "Thanks, I did not know that."
I do wonder if Ailes has to play the role of Lou Grant to him, you know threatening to break his face and slapping down his lunacy.
Of course, a lot of people don't undertstand why a majority is, well, a concept and the difference between that and a plurality and all that.

I hear that sometimes too from my students.
All I can recommend to them is, if you have to take an intro-level class and you think you already know the material, you can always test out of the class and if you pass, receive credit for the class without wasting your time in the class. At least at our university the students have that option, maybe that was not the case for you at your college.
The academic part of college is only partly about teaching facts and concepts, it is also about teaching students how to learn. I am sure you picked that up at least implicitly while there.

"For those of you who had a negative experience in college. What in particular was the problematic part?"
EE major, here.
The problem was the "be a well-rounded individual" classes. To avoid re-taking courses I had in high school, I took Religion. The prof made it clear on Day One that this was a "critical thinking" course. We would read books, many not explicitly religious, and write papers on their religious aspects. "Think for yourself."
So I did. I read the book cover-to-cover. And thought about it, and wrote my own words. And got a big fat "C" on my first paper.
So the rest of the year, I skimmed the books enough to pick a talking point or two, and used it to parrot back exactly what the prof said in class. "A"s all the way.
The rest of my Religion/Anthropology/etc classes worked about the same. At least they were easy "A"s to keep the GPA up.

The problem was the "be a well-rounded individual" classes. To avoid re-taking courses I had in high school, I took Religion. The prof made it clear on Day One that this was a "critical thinking" course. We would read books, many not explicitly religious, and write papers on their religious aspects. "Think for yourself."
So I did. I read the book cover-to-cover. And thought about it, and wrote my own words. And got a big fat "C" on my first paper.
So the rest of the year, I skimmed the books enough to pick a talking point or two, and used it to parrot back exactly what the prof said in class. "A"s all the way.

You "learn" well before college. I learned to study in junior high. College only showed me that there was nothing there to learn . I'm a Junior and saying to myself "why am I wasting time here?" People are out making money.

For every real course of study, there is an army of Lesbian Humanities Profs teaching a 1-200 level 'Required Course'.
The University System is only interested in self perpetuation. Which is measured in Dollars in.
Posted by: garrett at April 20, 2016 10:19 PM (4bzP6)
The general studies classes really aren't about enriching the university. They really are about broadening students' horizons beyond their narrow fields of specialization. That being said, there is a wide variety between different universities in what constitutes the "general studies" curriculum. Some really load it up with a huge breadth of classes, while some are more cafeteria-style, letting you pick which ones you want.

The British Foreign Office has released an advisory warning travelers to be aware of controversial new laws in North Carolina and Mississippi before visiting the United States.
Note that the Charlotte Ordinance which triggered all of this was NOT "controversial", apparently.
Also note that on the morning after NC HB2 was adopted, NOTHING was different than the day before. BUT, because NC reels in Charlotte for forming an ordinance which they did NOT have authority to assert in the first place, abruptly, NC is a dangerous place to travel.
These people are sick.

Then you didn't challenge yourself enough while in college. Seriously. Not meant to be a put-down, honestly, but based on my experience here, you can find something to challenge you and make it worthwhile, you just have to look past the course catalog and seek out these opportunities yourself. We have students in our department who on paper look like they should be having an easy time, but in reality, they are working their butts off because they are spending lots of time in the research lab working on independent research projects, that don't necessarily show up, or stand out, on an academic transcript alone.

She brought her new boyfriend of the week home one night, they never worked out, and there was Lou sleeping on her couch. The boyfriend ventured to wake him up and ol' Lou took a poke at him. "Never sneak up on somebody who was in a war!", he said.

"All I can recommend to them is, if you have to take an intro-level class and you think you already know the material, you can always test out of the class and if you pass, receive credit for the class without wasting your time in the class."
Be wary of how your University handles this. I attempted to test out of two courses; Freshman Comp, and the only Chemistry course they made EE's take.
Chemistry? 99th percentile on the CLEP test. Done.
Comp? 99th percentile on the CLEP test. But there were also two short essays (on SJWish topics, even back in the 90s; I'm pretty sure one was on student racial quotas). These were graded on-campus. I got "not satisfactory" on those, and had to take Freshman Comp. Which I proceeded to ace, by turning in my rough drafts as final copies for every paper.
What I did wrong was fairly obvious, in retrospect.

I never needed any encouragement in that, I resented the requirement of it at my expense. Big difference between buying a book on the Menstrual Rituals and Habits of the Pueblo Tribe and being forced to buy a book on the Menstrual Rituals and Habits of the Pueblo Tribe.
Interesting, sure. I mean, if there are no Moss Covered Rocks - What's a Squaw to do?
But making me pay, over and over, to keep a bunch of useless Profs and Instructors employed is too much to ask.

Then you didn't challenge yourself enough while in college.
College is not about "challenging yourself". It's about learning things you want to know and need to know for your chosen area. There are many people who don't need to learn a lot of the stuff at college in order to be properly prepared for their working life.
Seriously. Not meant to be a put-down, honestly, but based on my experience here, you can find something to challenge you and make it worthwhile, you just have to look past the course catalog and seek out these opportunities yourself. We have students in our department who on paper look like they should be having an easy time, but in reality, they are working their butts off because they are spending lots of time in the research lab working on independent research projects, that don't necessarily show up, or stand out, on an academic transcript alone.

That's fine and dandy but it seems to me that you don't really understand the reason that colleges and universities exist. You seem to think that it is the student's responsibility to make college a worthwhile experience. That's funny ... that a student would cough up tens of thousands of dollars to have to work around the college offerings in order to find something interesting.
I taught at universities for quite a few years and I can tell you, without any doubt, that most of the functions of universities are useless and wasteful, and many of the students have no business being there in the first place (not to mention a large number of faculty and whole departments) and less getting a degree.

Depends on where you are, and in what subject. As a college prof at Hemorrhoid State, teaching Fisting Studies, sure. A sinecure. Basically, like teaching an AP course at high school is more demanding.
In the bigs? Teaching a STEM subject? Where world class research, and lots of it, are expected? Another story. Another story entirely.

If this were true, my daughter could have skated
on over a year and walked in a Sophomore, via HONORS and AP classes
alone during High School. Thr exposure was there during High School. The
University system simply would not allow her to both test and achieve
out of a full year of revenue. I reject your argument, based on first
hand experience.
Posted by: Tim in GA at April 20, 2016 10:45 PM (YLidQ)
The fact that universities are even willing to grant college credit for highschool classes, or results from standardized tests, speaks against your assertion. Did your daughter take the AP tests at the end of the AP classes? Furthermore, what some highschools call "HONORS" really aren't honors-level work at all by any sort of rigorous standard. Maybe your daughter's highschool honors experience was awesome, but lots of highschools' honors experiences aren't. That being said, there are some colleges out there that really do pad their general studies curriculum. It's up to the conscientious student to choose the college based on the general studies experience that he/she most desires. Believe it or not, colleges do compete against each other, just like all businesses compete against each other, with some offering one type of service and some offering another type of service. If you want the super-huge general studies experience, go there. If you want the minimalist general studies experience, go to that one instead.

Not to work AROUND the college, but instead to take advantage of the many opportunities that a college offers that may not be explicitly listed in the stated program of study given in the course catalog. I would compare, broadly speaking, a student's experience at a college, to being a passenger on a cruise ship. You can choose to just stay on the boat the whole time, or you can choose to get off the boat and explore the different ports of call. The cruise line management doesn't require you or force you to disembark, it just gives you the opportunity to do so. If you choose not to, that's fine, but honestly, if that's your choice, you aren't getting the most out of your cruise.

Because the U of Az wouldn't show you your graded exam and wouldn't hear appeals to placement results. My math Profs advised me to test out because I knew the materials, cold.
Took the test. Aced it.

Standardized exams are a way to assess a student's knowledge of the subject matter. If the university was only interested in making money off people wasting time in useless classes that they didn't need to be in, why would they give students the option of testing out of those classes in the first place? Wouldn't the university then be undercutting their own profit margin?

All about reading. Always was. Just about everything I could get my hands on since I was a kid.
But learning is more than reading and exposure. Experience is a big part of it. That is entirely up to the instructor and many are just there to keep from getting a real job.
No doubt, some are there for the cute and naive co-eds, too.

Wow. Yeah, she took them and aced them.
She went into them assured that her chosen school (Alabama, the big
one) would accept the hours. She is going to get them, but only because a
very pissed off father flew over there one Monday morning and laid out
the whole case, with full backup and the number of my lawyer hanging off
of my fingertip.

This isn't at all intended to be insulting. I haven't met you or your daughter at all. I don't know anything about her academic credentials other than what you tell me. It sounds like she is a bright woman, and that is commendable. But in all honesty, not everyone who takes an AP class is a bright student, and not everyone who enrolls in a highschool honors class really is an honors student by any rigorous standard.
I would also say that this is one of the problems of going to a large state school. They benefit from students attending the school just due to its name, and so they have less pressure from competition from other colleges which may offer a superior product but don't have the same type of brand recognition that the large state school has. So they are some of the ones most guilty of padding their general studies curriculum and making it overly broad just because they can. That is the type of response of any large institution that suffers a degree of immunity from competition (the government is also another one). But in the case of colleges, the savvy consumer can shop around and find the one that has the general studies experience that is most appealing to that student, and doesn't have to settle for whatever Big State U. has to offer.
And sometimes it is just thick-headed bureaucratic administrators who don't know what they are doing, when the stated academic policy says something much different.

Thanks for all the Hillsdale plugs. I figured.
Me, I'm down on the whole university experience. I went to work right out of high school, then later to the university, but did not finish. I've been making 6 figures for over 13 years and I'm only 50. I'm also a non college graduate VP at a 100 million $ tech company. College is a waste unless you study a STEM degree in my fucking opinion.

College is not a cruise ship and students are not tourists. Also, college forces too much crap on students for no reason (other than racking up big bills for the school) and doesn't allow other students to actually spend their time doing what they really want to do. The college, of course, knows better about what the poor, retarded student needs to know. LOL.
Most university degrees are total jokes that represent nothing but the willingness of some idiot to pay "employment extortion". 80% of university departments can and should be eliminated. They are intellectual offenses.
Universities, these days, accept people coming from city schools who never should have been let out of high school. And not just the crappy universities. Even the good ones accept a bunch of idiots to satisfy their bean counting and to help fill interest in their ridiculous and useless departments.
Shit, Hah-vahd and Princeton went to war over friggin Cornell West. The guy is a total imbecile who shouldn't even be allowed to say the word "academic" but two of the best universities int he world had a knock-down drag-out fight to steal this useless piece of shit from each other. That pretty much says it all. And we see Barky and the standards of the Hah-vahd Lawn School ... They've made jokes of themselves and the schools are all charging outrageous amounts climbing ever faster the more ridiculous they get.

I learned a lot in college. Of what I wanted to learn. But damn little I really did with it, of course. Well, a math/physics "brain training" does really help you properly, well, know how to set up a problem to solve.
However, all the useful shit, the everyday shit you need to know, I learned from family and friends.
For example, when my mother was in that damned nursing home for knee surgery rehab (her stupid idea), I was amazed at the general incompetence abounding.
They had some little ice thingy that circulated ice water in a little pad, which you wrapped around the part in need. Fancy type of ice pack. Well, the idiots there couldn't get that set up right half the time for my mother. They wouldn't plug in the little hoses right, or plug in the power cord. One even just dumped ice in the container with no water. It couldn't pump ice, of course.
And then the damn sink in the bathroom had a little malfunction. The stopper thingy, you know the thing you pull up, it wouldn't stay up, just would fall down.
Those idiots couldn't handle that. I simply laid down under the sink and tightened up the little hand nut that held it. They couldn't figure that shit out.

Students are customers of a university that is offering a large menu of opportunities and experiences for its customers, of which a formal academic curriculum is only one component. It is the major component, no doubt, but it is not the entirety of what students are paying for. If you go to college and do nothing but go to class and then go home, you aren't getting the most out of it, IMHO. You are perfectly free to make that choice if you wish, of course.
The college, of course, knows better about what the poor, retarded student needs to know. LOL.
Umm, yes. Students aren't generally "retarded", but there is a reason why students are students and professors are professors.
Now, there are actually colleges out there that let students design their own curricula. They tend to be of the loopy left-wing all-SJW-all-the-time variety. But if that's what you really want, hey, go for it!

Standardized exams are a way to assess a student's knowledge of the subject matter. If the university was only interested in making money off people wasting time in useless classes that they didn't need to be in, why would they give students the option of testing out of those classes in the first place? Wouldn't the university then be undercutting their own profit margin?
Posted by: chemjeff at April 20, 2016 11:00 PM (dpnZC)
So they charge you to test out, refuse to let you see the results of your test, tell you that failed, and require you to take the course anyway. Double profit!

But in all honesty, not
everyone who takes an AP class is a bright student, and not everyone who
enrolls in a highschool honors class really is an honors student by any
rigorous standard.
Posted by: chemjeff at April 20, 2016 11:07 PM (dpnZC)I have a different take: an AP class may not be relevant at all to a university-level class.
After a lecture I had a student at a top tier university bleat that his counselor is forcing him to take my course, which he shouldn't have to take a course because he has AP credit. (Fine - I don't give a shit. So there's 299 spotty faces in the lecture hall instead of 300? OK by me.)
I handed the bright young spark the chalk, and directed him to the board: "Great. Derive the Clausius-Clapeyron equation from the total differential of free energy, because that's what I'm going to lecture on next time" before fielding the next question.
Never saw him again.

Hey everybody. Dealing with a bad bout of sciatica today in my left side. Owie zowie zowie. :-(
Funny thing though: I've also been constipated a few days and just
read my conditions may very well be linked. So, took some meds and
hoping I can get my colon revved up again soon.
(I know, TMI. Sorry.)

Do you have an exercise ball? Those helped me when my sciatica acted up. You don't really exercise, you just sort of do stretches that look really, really obscene.

Umm, yes. Students aren't generally "retarded", but there is a reason why students are students and professors are professors.
Administrators are not professors and college administrators tend to know less than nothing.
Now, there are actually colleges out there that let students design their own curricula. They tend to be of the loopy left-wing all-SJW-all-the-time variety. But if that's what you really want, hey, go for it!
Posted by: chemjeff at April 20, 2016 11:17 PM (dpnZC)
I'm not talking about the student designing his own curriculum. I'm talking about the college forcing bullshit , useless course on the student and also treating the students as if they are too dumb to make any decisions.
And all this junk about college being about more than just learning ... yeah, that's just crap. College is about learning. Period. Not partying. Not socializing. Not any of the other bullshit. From the students' points of view, colleges are about learning and helping to train people for certain academic fields. That's it. From the colleges' points of view, they are to make enough money to support people who are good enough to do important research in their areas. Most of these researchers have to teach a little bit (both to satisfy the college and to help attract quality students) but the researchers' main task is to do good research and make the college an attractive place to attract even better researchers.
Those are the two functions of a university (from the two points of view that matter) and the only real purposes of it to exist. Nothing else matters. College is not supposed to be a "life experience". It's about learning for the students and researching/discovering for the top faculty.

He did instill in me a sense of honor, and duty, and patriotism, but my psychopathologies are all sui generis.

Oh sigh. That's not the point. The point of the general studies requirement of a bachelor's degree is to broaden a student's horizons. Furthermore, there is quite a lot of variation from college to college on how broad that experience has to be. You can choose the overly broad and obviously padded general studies experience, or you can choose the barely-broad-enough minimalist experience, based on which college you choose to attend.
If you don't want that experience AT ALL, then don't get a bachelor's degree.
It isn't at all about telling people "what to think".

And aunt of my mine went off some damn yankee place for college, and got a job working as a typing girl at some damn plant/factory a few hours a week or on the weekend or something.
She needed to move an electric typewriter from one desk to another and simply did it. Her boss saw her and had a flying shit fit. He made her put it back and hoped the hell no one saw it.
In a panic he explained how she could've just caused a union shutdown of the place. They had to get an electrician to come unplug the damn thing from the wall. Then a maintenance man had to come actually move the thing. Then the electrician had to come back and plug it back in.
They would have had a work stoppage over that.
Fuck the unions, was her lesson learned from that.

For a Chemistry student seeking a Bachelor's degree I would have them take 4 years of chemistry, math, and physics, with plenty of lab work mixed in.
To broaden their horizens I would give them a list of things to do and read and see. On their own.
Charging Chemistry students money to make them read poetry is a crime.

College is about learning. Period.
No. That is a technical school or vocational school. That isn't "college".
If you want the purely technical learning aspect, then do that. No one is forcing you to go to college.
If you want to go to college and only take the classes that you want to take, then do that. No college will stop you from only taking the classes that you want to take.
But if you want a *bachelor's degree*, which is a degree that certifies *not just* proficiency in a specialized field of study, but also a breadth of knowledge to make a person a more well-informed citizen, then yeah, you gotta do the general studies stuff. But if you don't want a bachelor's degree? Then don't get one.
And I didn't bring up the "partying" or "socializing" aspect of college at all, you did. That isn't at all what I mean by the larger college experience. I was specifically referring to things like independent research projects, not "partying at the frat house".

Well, nowadays the opportunity to skip college is available to many more, thanks to standardized exams in the IT industry that can help people get into the business without having to go through the highway theft of college tuition and $400 textbooks (full of shit that is no different than the 38 past editions which are no longer accepted for the class). Colleges are losing their hold on the employment market. It hasn't happened totally, but it is moving towards that.
Sadly, these days, you still need a college degree for most things (to get started) even though most of those degrees are totally worthless (in and of themselves) and the price on them is enough to get most business people jailed on fraud in that same circumstance.

You can choose the overly broad and obviously padded general studies experience, or you can choose the barely-broad-enough minimalist experience, based on which college you choose to attend.
If you don't want that experience AT ALL, then don't get a bachelor's degree.
It isn't at all about telling people "what to think".

You could have learned those things other ways.

Posted by: eman at April 20, 2016 11:39 PM (MQEz6)
Maybe, but the critical piece is learning that you have something to learn. That's the crunch; after that, it's easy.
I used to view my job in lecturing as acting as a tour guide, pointing out features of interest and importance to the audience, and relating them to the overall picture. The amount I could actually impart in an hour was negligible; I viewed my job as indicating which aspects deserved more personal attention from the students themselves, when the real learning would take place.

I used to think that way, when I was an undergraduate.
But then I got out into the "real world", and I found it difficult to hold a conversation with non-chemists when they don't know anything about chemistry. And then I said to myself, "gee, I wish I had learned something interesting in college that wasn't all just chemistry".

"Colleges are losing their hold on the employment market. It hasn't happened totally, but it is moving towards that"
On what planet? The opposite is happening. Jobs that needed a BA 20 years ago now need a Master's.
By the way take a look at unemployment by education level. Even during the worst of the 2008/2009 recession, unemployment for those with a college degree didn't go above 6%, while the overall rate was in double digits.

Sadly, these days, you still need a college degree for most things (to get started) even though most of those degrees are totally worthless (in and of themselves) and the price on them is enough to get most business people jailed on fraud in that same circumstance.

My God, I'm defending chemjeff. I don't feel so good ... Still, no Muslims involved, so it's not too bad.
The problem is determining what to read. Descartes, or Harold Robbins? Locke, or "Dreams From My Father, Who Could Not Figure Out How To Put On A Condom?"
It's worthwhile having in hand the considered opinion of others on what reading is most beneficial, and most important to understanding our culture, and who and where we are. (I write from the pre-Obama, non-Alinksy perspective.)
There's an enormous amount of writing out there, far more than any one person could read, so having some guidance on what is more worthwhile is invaluable. And I'm guessing that the average 18 year old is not fully au fait with the works of the great thinkers.

On average a college grade makes $1M more over a lifetime compared to someone w/o a degree. So even if the cost of the degree is $100K+, it's a hell of a good investment.

I'm not forcing anyone to do anything that they don't want to do.

Don't want to take Poetry 101? Then don't take Poetry 101.
Don't want to take Lesbian Feminist Xistory 101? Then don't take Lesbian Feminist Xistory 101.
What you seem to want, is to be able to take whatever classes you want, AND have your selection of classes validated as equivalent to a bachelor's degree. I even pointed out to you that there are universities out there which actually DO that sort of thing. And even that's not good enough for you.
I am not even sure what you really want anymore, other than to just rail against evil colleges. Do you want to force every college to do away with general studies requirements entirely for bachelor's degree requirements?

No matter what your educational status is, you must be able to converse at any level. To deny yourself of the wisdom of all backgrounds by "learning" only at a certain level or above... Is cheating yourself of the diversity of life.

Realistically, very few people indeed are effective autodidacts without a bit of guidance. For my part, I'm grateful for some direction in what to read, and why, whether or not I agreed with it. It's useful to have some indication on what others consider wheat, and what chaff, even if one later comes to disagree with that assessment.
And on a more prosaic level, most people will never read anything, on any level above Hustler, without prompting. I include myself in that group.

So what? Forcing people to read a few pieces doesn't make them well-rounded or broaden their horizons, at all. People who are well-rounded are pretty much that way before they get to college. No one comes to college and is totally changed by 40 credits of dogshit courses. I mean, that is funny just to think about. You become well-rounded because you actually have interests in many different things, not because someone told you to read this or that.

But if you are enrolled as a degree-seeking student at a four-year university, then what you are paying for is the opportunity to earn a bachelor's degree, which includes a general studies requirement.
If you don't want the general studies requirement, then you are still free to pay to take whatever class you want, a la carte, just not as a bachelor's degree-seeking student
If you don't like your particular university's general studies requirement, believing that it is padded with a bunch of "useless" classes, then shop around and find a university with one that you believe is more reasonable. They aren't all the same you know.

Sometimes people just like to swim. No need for indoctination. They just jump in and do it and love it.
I'd bet that a person is more into something they stumbled across than something required.
That is where universities can be a diverse experience. Say the math geek meets up with the english lit person and they talk amongst themselves. More love of other subjects will happen in this situation verses required study outside of a chosen study. IMHO.

There is NO SUCH THING as a "forced course". There is a curriculum you must meet if you want a bachelor's degree, but you are not forced to get a bachelor's degree.
It seems to me, what you really want, is to redefine the meaning of the word "bachelor's degree" to mean, instead, "technical, vocational training".

That isn't good at all, and I can only speak to my university experience, the faculty and staff DON'T want purposeless driftwood students.

So why not make them pick a major? With serious students, you don't have to because they already have picked one.
Don't drag a future chemist down because other students are adrift.

There is NO SUCH THING as a "forced course". There is a curriculum you must meet if you want a bachelor's degree, but you are not forced to get a bachelor's degree.
Debating really isn't your thing. You just don't seem to get it. They should have forced you to take debating courses for your B.A.
It seems to me, what you really want, is to redefine the meaning of the word "bachelor's degree" to mean, instead, "technical, vocational training".

You really have no clue as to what I "really want". You also don't seem to understand what votech is or the difference between a trade and an academic specialty.
Do you think all of the current bullshit was required for B.A.s in the past? Other bullshit things were required but a lot of the departments in the current university would have been laughed at 50 years ago - and rightly so - along with most of the actual curricula of the required standards these days. So you can stand on some delusional idea of tradition which bears no connection to reality ...
Things have changed with the requirements for bachelor's degrees. They have, sadly, changed for the worse. And B.Sc. degrees aren't much better, name not withstanding.

LOL. They want students whose skins match up to their quotas. There is no more racist a group on Earth than a university hiring or acceptance committee. It would make most people puke to know the shit that goes one with this lowlifes.
Universities have lost all sight of their job to the students to actually educate and to educate those who have shown that they are the most educable that the university can get.

I see that the ONT is up...
Chemjeff and Jay, it's been a pleasure debating you both. No minds were changed but it was still invigorating.
ThePrimordialOrderedPair, good points made by you tonight and I agree with them all.

should have forced you to take debating courses for your B.A.
And now you just resort to your usual schtick: when you cannot refute the point, you just bring out the insults.
Please describe how you were forced to take Poetry 101. Did men with guns drag you from your house to the classroom?
You really have no clue as to what I "really want".
You're right, I have no clue what you "really want". It seems that what you are doing is just raging against the evil colleges, complaining about "forced courses". So what is it that you "really want", exactly?
Do you think all of the current bullshit was required for B.A.s in the past?
I think bachelor's degree, at least for the past 100 years or so, have always had a type of general studies requirement. It hasn't always had the same form, but it has always been about the idea of broadening the student's experience in some manner, to distinguish a bachelor's degree from purely technical, vocational training.

I'll have to say that my respect for a bachelors degree has gone down after tonight. At least as you have decribed it.

That's fine. A bachelor's degree is not for everyone. Neither is purely vocational or technical training.

Geez, jeff. Studying chemistry without having to take a bunch of bullshit courses is NOT merely technical training and it's not even related to vocational. You are thinking of something totally different and confusing yourself.
