Mormons do very little with Easter, no observances other than, I think, some notice on Easter Sunday itself. Lent would baffle a lot of people in Utah
But Mormons already operate on a deprivation model -- no caffeine, no alcohol....
The SATs are getting rid of the guessing penalty? What's the rationalization for that?
It has little net effect on scores. CollegeBoard gave up the guessing penalty on AP Exams 4 years ago. I'm not surprised.
First they come for the analogies, now this:
Again, I'm supportive of this. There is a big move, especially among people who do not come from English dominant homes to spend strategic and focused attention on the words in the academic corpus and not the Martha Stewart decorative words.
I'd like to get rid of the collective reliance on the SAT altogether. But whatever. I am shouting at the sun on this point.
I think I am going to have a fish fry.
I kind of wish they would just get rid of the SATs, but it is weird to think of the things you particularly excelled at as being obsolete.
I always rocked the vocabulary words. It makes me sad to think of those lovely words being considered extraneous.
Are we talking about
The Americans
anywhere?
Timelies all!
Man, the Beltway(495, DC area) sucked today. More than usual, I think.
Many a fish fry here in New Orleans! YUM... must keep up on where they pop up.
I'm a couple of weeks behind, Scrappy. But enjoying it lots.
Survived day 1 of a 2 day program mgmt course. It's not bad, at all. Presenter is engaging, ideas good, activities are objectively illuminating and illustrative.
But it just reinforces I don't like being in a classroom again. The idea of going back to school for anything just makes me tired. Which is odd; I loved school, I was very good at it.
I'm mulling the reasons behind it still. It isn't as if I don't like learning. Hell, my whole job is aaaaalllll about learning shit. So it isn't that.
