Sometimes I feel like school focused way too much on memorizing things for tests instead of understanding how stuff works in real life.
I can barely remember half the things I studied, but the things I learned on my own out of interest actually stayed with me. Kinda strange when you think about it.
Not saying school is useless, just feels like the system could be way better sometimes.
hello everyone. i am currently in online community college taking classes for bookkeeping. i am almost finished with my one year program and its gonna cost roughly $3500 out of pocket. but the disbursements from my student loans basically paid for itself.
i had to visit the community college for an exam the other day and i noticed they had an automotive lab, a culinary lab, and possibly other classes that spiked my interest. these classes have absolutely no coorelation with accounting and they are really just classes i want to learn for my own hobby.
is there any way i can even take these classes or would i have to enroll in that program to take the classes? i know some people are gonna say ask the school but i would feel like im wasting time to make a 10 minute meeting to discuss something that might be common sense.
tl;dr: current short term accounting student visited school for exam and now would like to take random classes. curious if this is possible without enrolling into program
any advice is also appreciated. im 26 and just started gettin my shit together last year so i could probably use some guidance
At the most recent school board meeting in my community, the school board has started issuing a report of public records requests. This includes announcing the total amount of requests and the names of people who have made the most requests. These also happen to be the same people vocally critical of the Superintendent and school board. This feels kind of like retaliation. Does it sound like that to you?
my daughter scored a 221 on her Math MAP test today. What grade level is that equivalent to?
Hey, so I'm working on a slide generator for educational content and I'm stuck on something kind of fundamental.
Should slides for learning have that dynamic multi-grid look where different blocks fill the whole screen (like a magazine layout), or is that just distracting and a simpler, more consistent layout actually helps people retain stuff better?
I personally lean toward cleaner but I genuinely don't know if that's just my preference or if there's something to it. What do you guys actually prefer when you're trying to learn from a presentation?
The reason why I'm so interested in this scenario is because both my parents are teachers and I have seen them waste away countless hours in building slide decks for their students. More often then not, they have supplementary material to show the class so they do a lot of switching back and forth between sources, videos, etc.
I recently saw an Ad for Pi (Presentation Intelligence), a web-app that creates your presentation for you. I test it out a bit and it's surprisingly easy to use, you can upload your teaching material or you can let the app do your research for you.
Now the problem is, both my parents are close to retiring, and they are not the most receptive when it comes to tech. It took me ages to get them to use uber and doordash.
So I'm curious if anyone else is in the same boat as my parents or have already embraced AI in their daily teaching process. Comment and let me know!
