I met my wife(no pics) at a Tough Mudder. Our 2nd date was a Spartan race. Been together 7 years and have two beautiful daughters now.

Yeah, she is, but my mom is not "get to meet your DIL and grandchildren" material.

This was big in north La for keeping the economy moving. The construction industry was clicking on all cylinders in Bossier Parish and Caddo Parish. I wired the two biggest houses of my career during that time period, one around 13k sq ft and the other just over 14k. New, at the time, housing developments didn't slow down.

My wages and benefits also had nice increases during that time.

the workers comp notification hurts the business so I’m wondering if they are doing this to keep things quiet

Maybe. I've paid things out of pocket for employees to keep from getting dinged for something relatively minor.

Elon Musk's Ad Astra school, a private institution for the children of SpaceX employees, rejects traditional schooling. Instead, it prioritizes project-based, interdisciplinary learning in STEM fields, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving. The school uses flexible, collaborative learning environments and continuous assessment rather than standardized tests.



While currently small-scale, its innovative approach has generated interest in potentially influencing broader educational reform, although scalability and inclusivity remain challenges

The description of the video you linked. So you're taking the example of a private school focusing on STEM, with a sample size made up of children of some of the smartest people on the planet, and saying "this can be used everywhere with everyone!" while also saying a universal approach is what's wrong.

I work with high schoolers and young adults that have chosen a specific path that interests them and they think they can work in. My contention is that the vast majority 1) lack elementary knowledge needed to succeed in those fields, 2) rely too heavily on technology, and 3) see no problem with any of this.

Your answer is to use artificial intelligence. I'm saying they need real intelligence first. I could read at 3 years old. My daughter can read at 3 years old. That's an exception, not a rule. In my opinion, there is a small percentage of kids that would be identified as smart enough to require specialized, tailored curriculum that maximizes their gifts. Not every kid is a genius, but every kid should be able to do basic math and be able to function in society without needing to be coddled and accommodated.

Never heard of her, so thanks for posting. Logical points laid out clearly.
