Public School Pathologies...

Canadia is a scary place.

Some of its citizens have told me that liberty
is not a consideration there -- not a free country; "good government" is (allegedly) the operative criterion instead.

I feel safer in Montreal than in NYC. People wre mostly nice (the Francophyles are usually assholes) but theyre not scary little douche bags with guns .

I beseech you "Stay in Fla Dave, theres lots like you down there".
and you can shoot each other with impunity. FLorida is a really scary place.

Amazing. Pretty sad when "The State" over rules a parent. This type of behavior by the schools only reinforces the fact that "Those who can not do,...teach".

They actually WANT these long lines of SUVs and light trucks waiting to pick up kids after school...

They could get rid of at least some of that one by insisting that somebody who teaches math have a degree in math and not education (with 20 hours of math courses), and same for all other high school subjects.....

I wouldn't feel terribly safe about being in a school system which doomed me to being a fat little rolly-polly for however long I lived prior to the heart attack.....

In 1955, an overweight child was a hell of a rare thing in America and I'd guess the same would have held true in Canada.

Ill bet theres waaay more to your opening story than the article lets on.
We have all those similar "guidelines" in ou schools where most kids MUST buy their lunches at the school and we count KETCHUP as a vegetable

Yeah, authoritarians like u shud love Canadia and North Korea.

For what reason ??

when you get your head out of your ass, Ill bet your worldview will change remarkeably

It sure is.

There are three schools in the United States and Canada, and every single one of them has done something stupid.

What is the world coming to?

Considering the alternative, I will keep my kids in public school.

OK! Now I know where David and OM Sig were educated.

FOOL: What did I ever post about vertebrate paleontology
or the age of the Earth??

Sorry David. I meant to say David and Gunga.

MY posted views on the subject matter
have always been fully paradigmatic.

Dinosaur bones should not raiocarbon-date:

No time for evolution:

Youre right for once. Thse samples were bogus because it was a bioapatite segment from silica rock. I suspect some real hokey pokey in the QA dept . U of Ga did keep their lab process correct and they noted that ALL the samples were bioapatite.
Fo a fossil out pf the HEll Creek or the Morrison (both formations where Ive worked) the bones are strictly silicified so anyCO3 in the apatite fraction was probably of much more recent deposition. NOTICE that theres no friggin article in NATURE ABOUT THIS. If these were actual numbers, fully QA'd, run in multiplicates, and chains of custody intact with a paleontological report and date of the sediment surrounding, I think wed see the bogosity of this crap.

The Creationists have been doing this underhanded **** for years
1faked footprints in the Paluxey shale

2"Seeded" very recent volcanic ashes 9(inserted older zircons nto "reset" zircons from Mt ST Helens

We get to see these fake science experiments a few years after they get reported by popular press, and then, everybody who isn't a scientist is just confused

THERE ARE NO 22-35 K year dinosaur bones with viable C14 that is autochthanous to the bone. THAT IS JUST CREATIONIST BULLSHIT.


YOU ALWAYS do the K/Ar of the zircons in the sediments from the nearest overlying and underlying ash beds conformably near where the fossils are found
