Jazzmoose Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Most people gain their knowledge of history as adults. I think that in most subjects teachers plant the seed and then it is up to as individuals to enlarge upon that over time. Maybe today that's true. As far as history goes, I graduated from high school in rural Georgia in 1975. For those of us in that time and place, it was up to us as individuals to uproot the seed, make sure it was dead, and restart again with decent seed.

Brad Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) Really? So you're better at algebra now than you were in 8th grade, Brad? Please... Pardon me while I don my hip waders, because the shit is getting incredibly deep. You just want to be argumentative and provoke a fight, don't you. At any rate, there are certain subjects that I'm better than I was then, such as English and writing. Would I say I'm better at all of them? No, some, but not all. Algebra certainly isn't one of them. While you're in those hip waders, watch out for your own. Edited January 6, 2015 by Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dolan Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 No, I just hate snooty people who are completely full of shit. First you say: "I would certainly hope I know more than I did in 8th period -- in most areas. Period." Then you contradict yourself with: At any rate, there are certain subjects that I'm better than I was then, such as English and writing. Would I say I'm better at all of them? No, some, but not all. Algebra certainly isn't one of them. Here, why not take this test and post the results: http://www.free-test-online.com/middle/8th_grade_algebra1.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you can start a separate thread. Edited January 7, 2015 by Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papsrus Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 I screwed up a couple of answers, distracted by that girl staring at me from the back row. 25/30. Back to 8th grade for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to hear an explanation of why you think that Brad's second statement contradicts the first, by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
