Education majors are probably the worst thing about the education system.

Apsolootelee correct. I spelled appsolootelee that way because that app as in phone apps, loot as in money, lee as in Robert E.

See, I can explain why I spelled it the way I did. I don't need to spell it correctly.

I have to admit that this would improve my spelling treemendously

Three times four is elebinty.

I'm a phooking genius !!!

Much as I hate to say it...that might fly nowadays!

a lot of insight and experience in that quote.

FWIW, a few years ago a survey of incoming students showed that education majors had the lowest test scores and GPAs coming out of high school. AND they had the highest GPA when exiting the university. The math behind that is definitely not good.

She forgot the part where, at the end of it all, no matter the outcome, a bolus of smoke must be blown up and past their precious little anal sphincters.


We are scrawed.

That ought to work out real well when laying out a bolt hole pattern or hobbing a gear.

Should make for great future surveyors too.

Common Core. More of the dumbing down of America.

Wonder if it would be OK with her, if giving her change and it wasn't enough, as long as you tried?

Already following some of those guys.

If the data collector doesn't spit it out, it doesn't happen.

Perfect example why China is kicking our asses and will continue to kick our ass in education.

You would be shocked how easy it is to be a surveyor these days.....Engineer does all the calcs in the office and loads the program. Most guys are using a "total station" or "GPS" and they simply follow the instructions on the screen.... Anyone that can run a basic computer can be a surveyor.
Not many guys can calc in the field anymore.

No more logarithms, azimuths, or using chains?

It's been so long since the Army spent 6 weeks training me as one of their best surveyers ever, I had to look up how to spell logarithm.

Laffin, yep that is all there is to it.

So then Romney won the election, right? I can show my work.

I worked a night job in a machine shop while in collage. Owners sun was a stoner and drunk. He was supposed to be using a horizontal mill and an indexing head to hob and gear. He got the math almost right but when he got to the end he found out almost don't count. When I got to work he was gone but there was a note stuck on the indexing head asking his dad if he wanted one big tooth or two little ones.

Almost is seldom close enough.

Hmmmm....Lois Lerner...the IRS guru couldn't compute 25% of 300! Said she wasn't too good at math!!

Wonder who she's spreading her legs for????????????
