| replaceafill | th1a, i wasn't able to hear your opinion on khan on friday | 19:59 |
|---|---|---|
| replaceafill | nice article btw :) | 19:59 |
| th1a | Basically we have a lot of expensively generated research on teaching mathematics which we've not managed to systematically apply, and finally we seem to have decided to just rely on some guy who makes instructional videos off the top of his (admittedly smart) head. | 20:25 |
| th1a | One key thing to know is that Japan outperforms us in math using methods developed in the US, funded by our taxes. | 20:25 |
| replaceafill | :| | 20:26 |
| replaceafill | it's like you know the solution, but you don't use it? | 20:26 |
| th1a | Part of this is because math instruction is now part of our overall culture wars. | 20:27 |
| th1a | Conservatives think the abovementioned mathematics research is some kind of liberal plot. | 20:27 |
| replaceafill | ah | 20:27 |
| th1a | My other point is that the US historically has had low math achievement, which transfers to poor understanding of mathematics by teachers in general (elementary), parents, etc. | 20:29 |
| th1a | It is like trying to compete against Brazil in the World Cup. | 20:29 |
| replaceafill | :) | 20:29 |
| th1a | You need better coaches in every town, better organization at every level, better support from parents, etc. | 20:30 |
| th1a | And ultimately, we just don't care about soccer as much, and don't really want to. | 20:30 |
| replaceafill | right | 20:30 |
| * replaceafill thanks th1a for using analogies he can understand ;) | 20:31 | |
| th1a | Although we may occasionally claim to care. | 20:31 |
| replaceafill | menesis, you around? | 21:10 |
| replaceafill | th1a, seems like this one just bit jelkner seriously: | 22:03 |
| replaceafill | https://bugs.launchpad.net/schooltool/+bug/1079294 | 22:03 |
| th1a | He didn't avoid his own bug? | 22:04 |
| th1a | Is it just in Journal? | 22:04 |
| replaceafill | he was expecting it was a chrome issue | 22:04 |
| replaceafill | but he got it in firefox | 22:04 |
| replaceafill | and he didn't realize he had lost his attendance data | 22:04 |
| replaceafill | the first time he was able to hit Back and Save again | 22:04 |
| replaceafill | this time, he wasn't | 22:05 |
| th1a | Hm. Do we have any idea what is causing it. | 22:05 |
| replaceafill | no, i haven't seen it | 22:05 |
| replaceafill | i copied his Data.fs | 22:05 |
| replaceafill | maybe we could save the data from undo history or something | 22:05 |
| th1a | Do you want this or should I give it to yvl? | 22:06 |
| replaceafill | he says it's not *critical*, since he takes attendance also using eSchools | 22:06 |
| th1a | It is critical to me... | 22:06 |
| replaceafill | it is | 22:06 |
| th1a | I mean, I should have taken it more seriously before. | 22:06 |
| replaceafill | i can take a look | 22:06 |
| replaceafill | if zodb hackery is needed i can bounce it to yvl | 22:07 |
| th1a | Well, tbh look at what is causing it first. | 22:07 |
| replaceafill | sure | 22:07 |
| th1a | OK. | 22:07 |
| th1a | How's IEP's? | 22:07 |
| replaceafill | stest coverage is "decent" in the journal | 22:07 |
| replaceafill | (i think) | 22:07 |
| replaceafill | good, finishing the completion report update | 22:08 |
| replaceafill | it's the last report that needs to be updated to use the iep skills | 22:08 |
| th1a | OK. | 22:08 |
| * replaceafill goes to his weekly quiz meeting with the ACC folks | 22:09 | |
| th1a | replaceafill: We should actually have our business meeting tomorrow. | 22:15 |
| replaceafill | sure | 22:16 |
