BoE limitations and solutions in Blades of Exile

Drakefyre Triad Mage Member # 7	written Friday, October 14 2005 02:54 Profile Homepage #151 quote: Originally written by KernelKnowledge12: You seem to be missing my point. My point is that public schooling is flawed at an ideological level, that cannot be fixed with tax dollars or extracurricular activities. Also, my highschool has a TV station, and it may have had some sort of forensic club or something; I remember hearing something about it, but I can't remember what it was. My point is that even though public schooling might be flawed, private schools are just as flawed, if not moreso. What benefits over public schools do they have, and how can those benefits be given to all students? The answer has to either be in modifying public schools or in drastically cutting taxes. What is your solution to the problem? -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy desperance.net - We're Everywhere ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Drakefyre Triad Mage Member # 7	written Thursday, October 13 2005 06:42 Profile Homepage #136 Also, in both states where I attended public school, tax money from all over the county was distributed to various schools all over the county. In New Jersey, poorer districts did not necessarily have worse schools - they got a lot of money from richer districts' tax dollars. In Maryland, the whole county was one large district, and the money was assigned where it was needed. The quality of the public school education was very good - many public schools had higher average SAT scores and more AP classes (more of every class, really) offered than private schools. My high school had its own TV station and a forensic science class. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy desperance.net - We're Everywhere ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Avernum 4? in General
Drakefyre Triad Mage Member # 7	written Thursday, October 13 2005 04:22 Profile Homepage #366 quote: In terms of design, Avernum 4 doesn't have zones. It is all one gigantic, seamless gameworld. This has given us a lot of freedom. The world feels a lot more natural. You can find fishing huts and farms scattered about, and people to talk to hidden in remote caves. And it's possible to have huge, epic dungeons that stretch for a loooong way. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy desperance.net - We're Everywhere ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Drakefyre Triad Mage Member # 7	written Thursday, October 13 2005 03:37 Profile Homepage #133 Kernel, your public school experience was remarkably different from my own. The only difference between the public and private schools around were the religious aspect, quality of sports teams, and racial composition of the schools. The quality of the education was virtually the same - there were some very good public schools and some very poor private schools, and the reverse is true as well. A large part of the reason that students attend private schools is that their parents are unhappy with the social aspects of the public schools, rather than the educational ones. Parents afraid that their children will be attacked by the big scary black children and gangs at the public schools, or that there won't be enough religion there for them. Crazy, irrational fears that, in my opinion, harm the children by 'sheltering' them from what the world will really be like. Another reason that students attend private school is for the athletics. A lot of private schools offer scholarships for 'underpriveleged students', many of whom are excellent athletes. As a result, certain schools have great soccer, football, track, baseball, or basketball programs. Unethical? I certainly think so, but this comes from a former public school athlete. Some schools' only black students are those on the football and basketball teams. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy desperance.net - We're Everywhere ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Ethical Survey in General
Drakefyre Triad Mage Member # 7	written Monday, October 10 2005 16:47 Profile Homepage #0 Respond and discuss. 1) What is your gender? 2) How religious would you say that you are: Not at all, somewhat, or very? 3) Are you vegetarian or vegan? 4) A trolley is running out of control down a track. In its path are 5 people who have been tied to the track. Fortunately, you can flip a switch that will lead the trolley down a different track. Unfortunately, there is a single person tied to that track. Should you flip the switch? 5) As before, a trolley is hurtling down a track towards five people. You are on a bridge under which it will pass, and you can stop it by dropping a heavy weight in front of it. As it happens, there is a very fat man next to you - your only way to stop the trolley is to push him over the bridge and onto the track, killing him to save five. Should you proceed? 6) As before, a trolley is hurtling down a track towards five people, all children under 10. You can divert its path by flipping a switch, but if you do, the trolley will continue down an alternate track towards five senior citizens. Do you flip the switch? -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy desperance.net - We're Everywhere ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

First Kiss in General
Drakefyre Triad Mage Member # 7	written Sunday, October 9 2005 02:43 Profile Homepage #14 Mine was extremely romantic, or at least I think so. I was 14 and with her around town, and we were getting ready to head back to my house. All of a sudden, the skies opened up and it began to rain incredibly hard. We started to run, but we knew that it wouldn't make a difference how quickly we went - we were already completely soaked. Around the corner from my house, we both stopped and stared at each other, and then she said something like "I couldn't let this day go by without kissing you," and then we kissed. There was no tongue, but it was open-mouthed and it sounds like something out of a book when I think about it now. Also, Spring, here "hooking up" carries connotations far beyond kissing. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy desperance.net - We're Everywhere ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Drakefyre Triad Mage Member # 7	written Saturday, October 8 2005 12:51 Profile Homepage #68 I'm one of the seven people (so far) that said that they'd rather give a tax cut to those in the lowest 25-50% than to those in the lowest 25%. My reasoning is that those in the lowest 25% pay virutally nothing in taxes anyway, and those in the lowest 25-50% pay quite a bit more that can sometimes cause real financial trouble, especially with a family of four or five. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy desperance.net - We're Everywhere ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!
