Quoting RoyLevosh, reply 23


I guess I need to get myself some political advisors
I nominate Chris! I'm sure there's a movie scene with every possible senario of what could possibly go wrong that he could pull something from!

Truer words were never spoken, my friend. :P

1. Legalize marijuana

 

2. Make the Monday after the Super Bowl a holiday.

 

3. Make churches like Westboro Baptist Church or any church who tries to hide pedophile priests pay taxes.

 

4. Make sure none of my favorite TV shows get cancelled. Chuck and Pushing Daisies are great shows that don't get high enough ratings. Come on, people!

 

5. Change the President's song. Enough of that boring ass Hail to the Chief. I will change it every month. The first month will be Jungle Boogie from Kool and the Gang.

 

Roy, since I don't know how to embed the youtube video for it, can you do it for me? :CONGRAT:

What I want is a test at the BEGINNING of the year that will give me an idea of the level a student is at on a certain subject.  Not just some little benchmark test, but a real in depth one that will give me an idea of what I would need to work on with this student for the rest of the year. To me, a formative test would be more useful than the summative testing we have now. This is also beneficial to advanced students, who wouldn't have to be taught skills they already have mastered.

I like the test at the beginning of the year. In fact my Hebrew class at the University of Haifa worked that way. One test at the beginning to put students into the right classes. One at the end, to see if they have improved. Then another one before the next grade to see which grade they should be in now.

Liked it a lot.

 

Thanks for challenging my replies, but I just did this out of fun, basically.  I guess I won't be winning any Make Believe JoeUser elections anytime soon, eh?

I would vote for you.

You think about the issues, at least when it comes to education. You wouldn't do worse than the others.

5. Have the Justice department investigate all of congress - it is not the evidence that counts, but the appearance of impropriety.  but that would be a huge waste of money.

Maybe.  Or maybe they would be so busy defending their actions, they would have no time to screw up (and spend) more money.  You can get a lot of investigating done for $170k per (the current salary of the criminals). Besides, if you want to get the most bang for your buck, dont you mine where the vein is largest?
