^^^ I don't tolerate that kind of stuff as much as I used to. As an adult, your problems are yours, not anyone else's. If they can't figure it out then they need to work for themselves, find a better fitting career or get therapy to learn how to manage their shortcomings. The flipside of...

Sometimes you just have to take the good with the bad. I don't bust people's chops for being a few minutes late but I'm also notoriously late for everything. My wife has to lie about what time we need to be somewhere just to get me there on time.

Says the guy who's not a teacher or behavioral psychologist or pediatrician or has any formal degree in child development or education. Not to be a dick but if you know all the answers then why are you a signarama jockey? Why didn't you work harder and become something bigger? This is what...

You're looking at things way too superficially. This is like telling a homeless guy the solution to all of his problems is to get a job. ADHD is a real condition, it is backed by actual science and can be seen on FMRI's AFAIK. Time blindness is also real. Yes, people use it as an excuse and...

Gino's posting selfies

That's actually happening right now. Could it be possible that the no child left behind policy is actually working and many students are coming out of school at a level above being a menial worker? It is the complaint today.

Exactly. You also get placed in school classes based on your level the same way. There are multiple above level choices, on level and remedial level. It's also not as simple as all diplomas carry the same value. It's made equitable through weighted gpa so those who get A's in above level...

But at what point do they catch up? Without outside help, tutoring or parents, it won't happen. So if the school doesn't force them along, do they go to 13th grade? There is no other way short of expelling them for not keeping up. As for illiterate adults, you can't force someone to learn or...

Also, this isn't a new thing. My buddy is pretty much illiterate but graduated high school. He's not alone in my age group.

Some people just won't learn and can't be taught anything. It's a real thing so what do you do with that? Keep trying until they're geriatric patients? As far as employees, that absolutely happens everyday. It's not about getting a free pass, it's still the same end result that the ones who...

Failing kids and holding them back grades ends up having bad outcomes. On face value it sounds dumb and unfair but it's about the end goal of having functioning members of society. Even when I was in middle school they took kids that had failed a previous grade and skipped them ahead. It's an...

The dunning-kruger effect

Nonsense. You can't fix stupid. There are no more issues with schools today than there were 50 years ago. It is not there to teach you how to fix your car or how to balance a checkbook or how to make your bed, it is there to teach you fundamentals so you can think on your own. Parents need to...

That was my point. So why is this a problem that the schools need to solve? All I hear ad nauseam is this drumbeat of less government, parental rights, personal responsibility etc etc. Then in the next breath I hear the schools aren't doing enough. People make my head spin with this crap...

How about kids and parents take initiative and learn the things they want rather than expecting the school system to train kids on stuff that is typically learned after K-12 or learned on the job? Schools aren't much different today and I'd venture to say that kids have more resources and...

Our 1 mimaki will smell up 600 sqft through open doors and A/C returns

They make them for this purpose. Here is one...

New vendor inspections are pretty commonplace. We even have had our customer's customers come to check things out. Sometimes onsite QC for jobs too. As far as the auditing, that is also normal if you declared yourself as an SBE or DBE since the main contract holder is required to prove their...

A lady I worked with would tell anyone that was getting worked up over nonsense, with her raspy smokers voice and a shit eating grin on her face - "just let it go... let it go." The guy before that would get aggravated and tell people to control what you can control and walk away. Both we're...

Then they knock, sometimes forcefully like they know you're in there. Nothing works, they're like a lonely dog.
