Congrats on the fellowship!
Congrats on the fellowship!
lol, I wondered but was also hopeful. Yeah, nah thereβs zero fruit jobs available. Heβs a moron
2 finished school and one is currently working 20 hrs a week max at mcdβs, one has 18 hrs a week at kfc, the other is unemployed in school.
Where/who? Have 3 teens whoβve been looking in te puke/paengaroa for 2years. Theyβve managed to get pack house work both years that ended up with a total of 60 hrs the first year and 12 hrs the second.
It gives less credits for Maths (not required past coreq) and sciences in favor of work experience programmes and is ridiculously light on history and NZ government education. Itβs very biased towards enabling school leavers. The wait for credits till Jan is also detrimental to high achieving
I guess itβs fine if you donβt want students to engage in an international stage. The grading system means qualifying for international unis is limited at best. Also, the quality of education is significantly lower than other countries. NCEA prioritizes and rewards non-academic subjects π€¦ββοΈ
Or both? π
You can go all year and get 20 credits in a math course or you can do 5 days of work experience and get 22 credits⦠why would you take math?
The lag time between testing and results/credits leads to over or underestimating pass/fails and generally removes the benefits or consequences related to performance. There is zero reflection. Itβs a fucking nightmare for neurodivergent students who have forgotten what the results even pertain to.
As an import who didnβt go through the system myself NCEA seems insane and unclear - not at all focused on mastering basic skills (math, literacy, science).
Tests are black boxes that may or may not relate to the info taught and exams are a shit show of poorly worded (again guessed at curriculum).
And yes feetures - bloody autocorrect got me
Omg, thatβs a milestone! Buy yourself a pair of features compression running socks to go with them, you can thank me later ππ§‘
Iβm seeing a senator saying musk is targeting NOAA. Any news?
NEW: Scientists angered their scientific society is scrubbing websites in "anticipatory obedience" of Trump orders. "For an organization that has championed diversity to make a complete 180, it's dizzying," @kyt-thatsme.bsky.social told me. www.statnews.com/2025/02/03/t...

It's all gone. They've taken down all the CDC datasets from data.cdc.gov
Data that's critical for public health & research. Data paid for by citizens. That the government now censors.
"Do not fear those who tell the truth. Fear those who try to hide it. They are willing to sacrifice other things."
Fuck that. Block all US teams
We are all livid
We are off for the night. Leaving you with Elonβs hardcore plan for health.
So much for make America healthy again
Another two plane crashes. Santa Barbara and just now in Chicago π’
Fabs to see the CDC joining with AltParks
Yes, plus 88 ish FBI investigations fired and escorted off, some federal attorneys fired and escorted off, and a hostile take over of the treasury and OPM
Or carried his shopping in a bag, not a basket π«£
Oh and federal attorneys fired and escorted out as well
Thereβs another plane crash, 88 FBI investigators removed, the take over of the treasuryβ¦ itβs a shit show
