LOL This is funny in away

I went over to a store to buy some thing to eat i don't get paid till wednesday So i had 10$ in Quarters laying around lol any way cashier asked how many Quarters go into a Quarter wrapper lol it tells you right on the Wrapper.If you don't know how much change goes into a Coin Wrapper bye 16 years old you must be a blond lol.As a matter of fact i think she was Blond lol :-D

Or just dumb as hell.:-D

The US education system is going Down hill id say.

 

LOL LOL LOL

And really, Goldenskull...although you are correct and she should have been able to read on the wrapper how many go in it, I don't think it's at all reasonable for you to assume someone is stupid for not knowing off the top of their head how many it is. I surely don't, and I am neither blond nor 16. I simply don't care, and it's been years since I've wrapped change.

 

Me i just really don't care how i type as long as people can understand it.

Kinda was joking :-D

 

10 x 4 = uhhhhh....


CTD baby, CTD...

 

You may not care, but it annoys the hell out of me, and im sure most other posters here.

 

LOL you guys crack me up. You called her dumb because she can't count but you can't spell :-D:-D:-D

I'm* :-D but I do agree

 

It would seem I'll third that motion. I admittedly am borderline OCD when it comes to grammar, spelling, and diction...

:-D

 

Yep, I had the same thought. I'm not the world's best speller/grammar guy, either, but there is auto-spell-check, right? Maybe he should use it, because his posts sure aint easy to read. rolleyes

 

I would have told her it was $100.

I can't criticize spelling, cause I type typo. :-D

 

But yours are readable typos, not a willful destruction of the English language. :-D

 

"The US education system is going Down hill id say." Almost sig worthy. :-D And no offense meant, just having fun. :-D

 

Its really hard to take anything you post as serious or helpful, when you can't/wont even proofread your posts.

 

Cashier had probably never seen more than a few coins at a time. Cash is largely relegated to the very intelligent given the advent of pure plastics.

Of course, I still believe in the cash theory: If you can't pay entirely out of pocket for it, you don't need it at all.

 

David.
Back when I went to school, the teachers lived up to the name.
Student couldn't understand the question or the problem, the teacher was right there beside them and guided them through it slowly, explaining each step, until the student fully understood.
Students could get help on weekends if they needed it.
Teachers could take pride in what they accomplished.
If a student still didn't do well, he would be in the same grade the next year.
Wasn't any "pushing them through" just so the school could get some grant money.

 

One of the biggest problems with education now is that results are uppermost and how they are achieved come much further down the list of requirements.
It can be seen in all sectors of the system,educational quality has descended to a pitiful level where kids are getting exam passes and are barely able to read or write a coherent sentence and due to the social engineering they do not understand that some pupils have a better ability than others but they have been brainwashed by the establishment that no one fails (what a stupid idea).
I am no professor but i am reasonably coherent (i think) i can do maths and understand that i will not always reach a pass level in all that i attempt, Failure is part of the learning process.

He who has not failed has not learned, i don't know who said it but it rings true to me.

 

Very true, Bill. Making everyone pass, regardless of actual performance, is like having a race where everyone is a winner. Maybe so - but everyone is also a 'loser' as well.rolleyes

 

Hmm, isn't there a form of government that advances mediocrity? :-D:-D

 

Successful governments promote the underclass and the "lowest common denominator" at the expense of the intellectual elite. In this way, the plebeian masses remain under the control of purveyors of bureaucracy, without any initiative for revolution. This is a basic principle of Machiavellian politics. ~ Ergo - Govt. stability at the expense of civilization advances. Vis-a-vis:- The needs of the powerful outweigh the needs of the sycophantic underclasses.

 

I have always been rather impressed by the fact that although (I assume) English is not your first language, your grammar, spelling and usage are better than easily 80% of the people I run across, many of them here, who know no other language. :wave

 

To quote a term from several years ago: word. :-D

 

Thanks for the compliment Sarg but if i were to accept it i would be acting fraudulently as English is my mother language.
I was born in the UK but during my military service i was stationed in Brussels at Nato HQ and met the most charming Belgian lady (Laurette) who became my wife and i have now lived in Belgium for more than 20 years.

 

Well, shoot. LOL I don't think any less of your language skills, though...like I said, better than easily 80% of the people I run across. :-D
