I see where Oregon HS grad rate is second lowest in the nation behind NM. My wife was a teacher in public school for a little over 4o years and she says its a disgrace that politicians keep allowing this to happen in our State. Cutting edge with by paths and trams though!
I don't think the politician are responsible for swelling the student body of the public schools in the state. Especially in the districts that have had declining graduation rates in the past several year.
It's a lot of failed systems its Politicians, and Teachers Unions and let's be honest bad teachers too (not commenting on your wife so please don't take it personally). I only had one teacher I remember who even acted like they cared if their students were successful. I can't remember his name, but he was a Black guy, had corn-rows (rocked them pretty epicly!), he was older and died a few years after I was in his class. He was the PE teacher at George Middle School (and for a time at Roosevelt HS). Outside of my dad I'd say he was the other big influence towards my love of the game of Basketball, I remember at 9 years old he made the game all come together for me, he made LEARNING the sport fun, he would make me do shooting drills, make me pass because as a 9 year old I didn't want too! Anyways I wish I had other teachers who would've even pretended to care about their students, but I just didn't have them. I know there are good teachers out there. I'm sort of jealous of people who had teachers take an interest in their lives. It made learning a slog, it made school something I hated it.
You can never convince me that West Virginia, the opioid capitol of the world as well as the black lung disease capitol of the world, graduates smarter HS grads than Oregon.
All of my teachers at Forest Hills elementary and Chapman elementary as well as at Lincoln HS cared about their students. Okay there were those two, my seventh grade teacher and shop teacher at Chapman were ass holes.
if(hsgradrate == smartergrads) { cout << “They’re the same\n”; } else { cout << “They arent the same\n”; } Weird keeps saying, “They arent the same”
Yeah I gotta be careful, I had a lot of negative experiences with school. I know there are good teachers out there. All in all though, I shouldve taken responsibility for my own actions at a younger age and tried harder.
Ive really grown to love how fast c is and how flexible c++ is in my mid level hardware projects on linux
Never liked Unix like I did C and C++. Everything they did at PSU had to do with Unix. I've still got a lifetime e-mail address at PSU but I've long forgotten the username and password.
Im working on a robotic arm, that uses ubuntu 16.04 on board with a fpga. The FPGA is programmed through verilog and register mapping for encoder disks. The linux code is all in c++ and c. Much fun! I am a windows guy so the hardest part of the project has been figuring out the linux kernal and linux command prompts.
Amazing, OSU has been researching robotics for years. Their research also includes robotic arms, all written in C++. I'm guessing they're using Visual C++. They actually had the first two legged robot in the world that could run.
Visual 2017 has a linux toolset which includes the g++ libraries. So I write almost all my code in Visual c++ and use the compiler to check if its works then push it onto the unbuntu distro from there. Ive worked with a guy everyone calls doc who works at OSU. He’s does write c++ code and mainly uses ROS afaik.
Don't they share responsibility in the bugetar Surprising to me too. This was for 2017 OR 76% WV 89 Disadvantaged OR 70 WV 87 They also graduated a much high % of minorities.... Im actually please to hear that even the Staes that most of us left coasters consider hicks or out of touch, are having great results with the way they approach education. Starts at the top of each state.
I think the high school I went to was the lowest in the entire state in the recent Oregonian rankings.
