I'm really not getting your pointless vernacular bitchery.You started in on me defending someone who had a legitimate concern.No need to reply-really

Listen man, I'll say this nicely. I literally didn't understand what in the hell your reply meant. And each reply was meant to untangle it in this system in which only the quoted text stays up there.

I think that quoted phrasing was pretty uncalled for. But rather than reply in kind, I'll just say whatever. I assume since there's no need to reply, I won't get one and we'll move on.

The most interesting part of that is the phrase "We remain the highest risk state in the nation." That got my attention.

I'm assuming that means that due to state poverty, health issues, etc, that they think those in WV are more at risk for mortality due to COVID-19 than average.

I.e. a history of coal mining, and the associated respiratory issues that go with it, probably make it a much more dangerous disease to anyone who came from that field.

To veer this off course, Badge, the rate at which one's calculus knowledge atrophies is something to behold. That's like a muscle that needs near constant work.

I'm sure I agree. I doubt I can do trigonometry without a refresher, much less calculus.

Of course these days, I can't even help my damn 7 year old first-grader with her math homework. Stupid new math.

Interesting. I was wondering if there was a deficit in hospital resources, but the coal thing makes sense too.

I'm not quoted phrasing anything you can go stay with the New Yorkers - those that don't seem to want play by the rules in Florida or WV that was pointed out by two different posters.That you feel the need to dress me down for pointing it out .Put your PC to work and those rose colored glasses on ignore the problem and by all means hammer on.SMDH

And before @OrangeAfroMan jumps on me for my criticism of "new math"... I get it. I see what they're doing--trying to actually make students understand the concepts of what they're teaching in a way that doesn't come across with rote learning of skills. If it ends up working, it might make these students grow up to understand numbers in a way that too few adults these days do.

But hell... The method I was taught addition worked freaking great. It still works great. It scales up easily to big numbers.

Instead I'm trying to draw "quick tens" and figure out what the heck a "number bond" is, so that I can then re-learn these techniques myself and figure out how to explain them to her.

OAM--what grade do you teach? I gotta say, all respect to you, because there's no way I could survive more than a week as a teacher, unless I was MAYBE at AP math/science levels in high school, or a college prof.

Yup, but the quick derivation trick helps move up and down the scale quickly.

I'll admit I use trig far more than I should probably admit, but I'm also in a line of work that uses it regularly. And I just got my license to hang on the wall.

Also, if anyone here is in need of some STEM-related material for their distance learning, let me know. I do a lot of stuff with our agency's STEM outreach, and would love to help.

Yeah, he means with all the underlying health issues the residents of our state already have.

My math skills are gone. My piano playing is slowly recovering.

I can drink like a fish.

I made it through diff eq back in the day, never had a use for it really.

In an interesting development a nearby high end ( but reasonably priced) golf course just sent an interesting email.

It basically it says that effective immediately in order to gain entry or make a Tee Time, you must produce a drivers license proving you reside in this county or the one directly north- where the virus has not yet proliferated.

As I had mentioned before- it was overrun by people from two counties to the south where Shelter in place is in place and courses are closed. Additionally/ a high % of those are visitors from New York and New Jersey.

Curious- how do you all feel about that?

For me- it makes total sense. If you are coming from a place where the disease has spread strongly- to play golf with people who come from a place where it hasn’t-only to go right back to where you were supposed to stay in place - you are wrong to be doing that.

You wouldn't believe me if I told you.
.
The "new" math is only useful AFTER the students get their math facts down (traditional learning) first. Once that's done, then yeah, they're simply explicitly DOING what our minds are thinking quickly. It's just tedious because you have to slow it down enough to write it out and ideally EXPLAIN it. If they can explain how they got something, that's a kid without any more hurdles in front of them.
