1·5 days agoThe No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) represented, in the United States at least, the triumph of measurable outcomes over meaningful learning. Under its regime, schools were judged by their students’ performance on standardised assessments. The consequences of poor scores were severe: funding cuts, staff dismissals, school closures. The entirely predictable result was what educators came to call “teaching to the test,” a practice in which classroom instruction was narrowed to the specific content and formats that would appear on state exams.
As someone who graduated before then, this was a problem long before NCLB. It’s also a fundamental misunderstanding about the purpose of American schools. Schools have two goals:
- Babysit kids, so that both Dad and Mom can go to work
- Train kids to do arbitrary, bullshit tasks that don’t have any meaning or purpose
Any actual learning when I went to school was tertiary, and Critical Thinking was constantly shot down. If you want an A, you don’t Think Critically, you regurgitate what you were told, even if it was wrong.

16·16 days agoIt’s always amazing to me how libs have to constantly make up interpretations and arguments to fight against. One of the reasons I left piefed was that people kept yelling at me for saying things that I never said.
Like, I get that liberalism is openly failing right now, but maybe do some self-analysis on why that is, rather than building strawmen.

It does have an Android compatibility layer. But the core system is Debian, not Android

I’m glad the people who voted for genocide keep trying to blame people for killing others.
You should get yourself a shirt: “I voted for genocide, and all I got was this lousy Trump presidency”

Linux Phones@lemmy.ml•SoTU: Linux phones available for the USEnglish
1·2 months agoI’m late to thist post, but I have the FLX1s, and I love it. It’s buggy as hell, so I wouldn’t give it to a normie, but it does mostly work. It’s nice to be able to ssh in, and just start scripting stuff. I’m excited to see how the updates go, as there is a lot of low-hanging fruit.
I’ve been pretty disappointed with FuriLabs, and how they handled the FLX1 to FLX1s transition, but this is the best phone that I’ve ever had.

FYI, I have the FLX1s, and I really like it. It’s quite buggy, and I wouldn’t give it to a “normie”, but I think it has a lot of potential. That being said, their support hasn’t been great.
I haven’t heard of the Comet, but that looks super cool, thanks for the heads up
