Kinda Pathetic

Fixated? Obsessed?

So someone at KNUE’s Teacher Training outfit seems to need to occasionally drop in on my blog to see if there’s anything new or reread what’s here about that pathetic job and some of the sad people who work there.

Other topics are on offer and get insightful coverage. Though someone at KNUE committed a crime against me and paid off the police, I believe, to look the other way, I’ve moved on. I was hurt twice by the injustice, but I don’t cyber-stalk KNUE or the people who work there.

Also, I did mention my friend who was still pursuing this and then I thought dropped the matter. He hasn’t. When I emailed him recently, he assured me that he was still trying to find a lawyer to take the case. He’s the sort who learns from experience rather than words so I’m not even trying to get him to stop. I think his lawyer friends will in time.

Time heals all wounds if you don’t keep picking at the scab and find other interests.

I Couldn’t Agree More

Here’s a brief, convincing pitch on prioritizing statistics in education.

Personally, I love statistics and if I had known in high school how much I’d like it, I would have done more math in college.

If instead of Advanced Math, I could have taken a high school statistics class as a senior, I would have taken more statistics or math classes in college. My only choice for math as a senior was something called Advanced Math and I have no recollection of what we actually learned. I can tell you at I learned in geometry, algebra and trig, but advanced math, well, I had Mrs. Meyers and I believe she was nice. That’s all I remember. She was one of the better math teachers at Marillac and it was a shame she didn’t teach freshmen algebra.

None of my math teachers ever told us what Calculus was about so I picked up some vague ideas on the streets. (Sex ed was far more detailed at my Catholic school.) I just figured it was more painful than algebra with the inept, unpredictable Sr. Angela and thus best to be avoided.
