May is motorcycle awareness month

[tbo41fan]

screw motorcycle awareness month..99% of the time it is the people on the motorcycles driving like shit, and they DEMAND we watch out for them as they weave in and out of traffic

Given your position on many issues, I am sure you do.

Damn right. There is never just one side to a story. There is rarely just two, and even three can be closed minded. We can learn a lot from the mere perspective of history.

meh...depends on where you live I guess. Here, it's super-rural. We've got a lot of riders around here, and I rarely-to-never see a biker driving dumb...I've been in bigger cities tho where it's just silly. I see what you're saying.

out here they are insane...weaving in and out of traffic, jumping curbs/sidewalks

I agree with this position, and wish we could do more of that in the classroom. However, the system we have defines the level of success a school has based upon multiple choice tests.

i'd say there's a couple billion perspectives

There is a difference between motorcycle enthusiasts (people with Harleys that enjoy riding) and the assholes who weave in and out of traffic going 30 over for no reason whatsoever.

Honestly, after thinking this through so many times.... I no longer want see more taught in the classroom. How can a 7 year old child grasp the concepts and ideals behind the facets of history? We shouldn't worry about teaching history before puberty and even then, just the basics. Geography, sure, culture, sure, law, absolutely. But memorizing dates and events that have little or no significant meaning to someone at the phase of their life where Nickelodeon is trapped between their ears, and sugar is the greatest thing on earth? It becomes mere trivia.

I would only hope that by strategically depriving a kid at school, would promote them to ask more questions at home, and when they do independent research. At that point, is when you get that thirst for knowledge. Once that gets going, nothing stops you from understanding the universe that we live in.

Where would you place the hot women who ride, with big tits, bra-less? You know, when they speed up, their boobs part to the sides, like Moses in the bible.

Schooling in general at any age is dumb.


In High School they want you to memorize the 20 different parts of plant cells and how they grow, then memorize the periodic table of elements(as if we'll ever need to know it by heart).
But when it comes to something actually important like financing, credit and other things that everyone has to deal with. They teach you nothing.

The way our education system is set up now, it's to learn what they want you to learn. Not stuff that will actually help you.

.

it depends on how the school teaches and how the students interpret how the teachers teach...some stuff you learn in school is very important...and some of it you never see again...but it also depends heavily on what the students job ambitions are...you better believe you will need to know high tech math if you are going in an engineer field..of course that is just one relative example

i do think what helps in this day and age is that we have the internet(which is probably one of the greatest inventions in human history imo) where there is unimaginable information for kids and people overall to absorb...although information is useless if we cant interpret it

 

[Crystallas]

it depends on the individual
