My parents and grandparents taught me how to go bankrupt…

Step 1: Mortgage inherited assets to follow the latest fad.

Step 2: Make no profit but spend tons money.

Step 3: Accept government handouts right and left but still lose money.

Step 4: Go bankrupt and lose everything you inherited.

Step 5: Blame everyone else for your own stupidity. Extra emphasis on people with darker skin color.

The actual plant in the picture is poison oak.

Can confirm, played with my nieces baby over the holidays. My niece was born in 2002.

They had Goonies playing on the TV over the holidays for the kids. I mentioned I had seen that one at the drive-in theater. That was a mistake. Bunch of little savages.

From my experience, anything you wear has the possibility to be mocked so just roll within it. If it’s funny enough buy the instigator a beer.

That’s how I had some good nights in Ireland when I was 21, of what I can recall that is. Its a wee bit hazy for some reason.

My wife has a couple graduate degrees on this subject. This is one that I got to be the unwilling editor on her papers for.

Its a lack of understanding how students need to learn the information: memorization by usage versus memorization by rote.

Memorization by rote: This is the old school method of teaching. You memorize random facts figures with no context or usage. Its a bit of standalone information that is often not useful. Memorization by rote leads to kids that can say all of the letters but not recognize the symbols or associated them with sounds and words.

Memorization by usage: This is a much more effective method to teach. Its also much harder. This requires teaching the concepts and systems and linking the information together. You memorize the same information by repeated usage but it’s in context. It takes a ton more skill to teach this way because you have to engage the student through the entire process, repeatedly.
