twitter. thats as deep as it goes. like how they try to get people to put hashtags in their titles despite no one using hashtags to find videos. corporations try not to turn everything into a homogeneous blob challenge: impossible.
it's funny because they tried to do this push a few years ago too where everyone new had an @ and they eventually dropped it because it was dumb. i guess whichever exec thought that was a good idea never actually left
yeah the site wouldnt load for me at the time but it does now
I bet we fall just outside the top 10. Seems pretty busy here to me, plus our LOTR memes make top upvoted pretty frequently. Honestly I'm wondering if the user distribution might be pretty dang good below the top 5 servers or so; 234k could be a serious underestimation of the actual active userbase if the next 20 servers all have 1k+
idk, im surprised it took this long. there's a huge variety of admin teams with varying degrees of security awareness and it's been over a month since the first big influx of users started. it'll happen again too and probably not before too long
Unless you actually somehow think this was a genuine misunderstanding of the test directions, then they were clear and the student provided useless answers on purpose.
Getting points is a reward for giving right answers. If the student wants to play language games on his math exam, let em fuck around and find out. But they do have to find out. Literally all I've suggested is making the student demonstrate actual understanding. Thinking even that is somehow going too far is absolutely ludicrous.
You have completely flipped the concepts of mature and immature. Only a child would think the exact wording of a phrase is the absolute most important thing and that context doesn't matter at all. An adult would follow the intent of the exercise and make sure actual understanding was achieved--you know, the entire point of the test. Children love malicious compliance: "finish your homework," so they scribble a bunch of random nonsense; "stop hitting your sister," so they start poking them; "go outside," so they sit down and play phone games. The fault isn't with the adult for not being clear enough, the kid just doesn't want to comply. Rewarding that type of shitty behavior just encourages more of it!
Do better with the language next time, and it won’t happen again.
Reward the kid for being a smartass and intentionally misreading directions, and it ABSOLUTELY will happen again. Unless you're gonna start spending an hour writing incredibly precise paragraphs for each exercise like a magician giving instructions to a genie, there will always be some technically correct version that wasn't what the question intended.
This is so silly. Kids aren't code compilers. They know what's being asked of them. This is like shrugging your shoulders and just letting it happen when a kid is doing the whole "I'm not touching you!" shtick.
Oh come on. This is obviously a kid's test, and the kid knew they were being a smartass. What's less clear is whether the kid knew the actual answers.
In your world you start having to write "solve the equations to their simplest forms" on tests for kindergarteners who won't even know what that means in order to avoid technically correct nonsense like "1 + 1 = 1 + 1". Room should be made for genuinely unclear test directions, but this is not one of those cases.
Edit, maybe he should have gotten credit for literally writing "a number with a 2 in the ones place." The test should have used "provide an example," not "write!"
I'm seeing several options for a 6800 that are in the $500 range, you shouldn't have to blow a grand for that
idk the whole idea of a test is to demonstrate understanding, which this doesn't. i feel like a good teacher wouldnt take off points, but would have to pull the student aside and be like "ok now circle the tens place, hundreds place, etc"
"Vitamin" is basically the 19th century's idea of a sciencey word for "nutrients." I mean heck, half the "vitamin Bs" aren't even related to each other at all
it is on lemm.ee too, idk why they said that
