People disparage women's studies/gender studies/etc. but one of the things often covered in the 100-level classes is fraternity gang rape.

This kind of thing is probably why certain people disparage (and ban) women's studies: not because they're oh-so-concerned about students getting jobs after they graduate, but because they don't want anyone to know too much or think too hard about this stuff.

Looks like it’s this book. But a cover image and full title would go a long way in making this listing look not awful.

With regard to divestment of athletics and academics I highly recommend Beer and Circus

Maybe a copy of One L? Might be slightly old, you should probably skim it first. I read it at like 28 so sex/language/etc wouldn't have leapt out at me.

It will in part depend on what you mean by grad school. If you mean professional school, like med school or dental school, then banks may provide generous lines of credit with decent interest rates. If you mean grad school for a PhD or MSc, then it can get a bit murkier. In general, I'd caution PhD students not to take on debt at all if they can. It's a terrible, terrible life decision. There's even a book on it, which as I recall was a pretty good read.

See what scholarships and grants you can get -- I believe NSF and NIH have a number of programs that pay well enough in USD to get you by in Canada, but it's been a while since I last looked at grad student programs. For many national scholarships you had to apply well before you started your first year.

And back to it being a terrible life choice -- you may be financially better off avoiding grad school and just going into whatever career strikes your fancy from undergrad (or with a 2-year MSc). If you intend on going into academia but you can't do your PhD on scholarships, then you may want to rethink your plan to go into academia. But I mean I'm not sure I would have listened to too many people who tried to talk me out of grad school back when I decided to go, so I understand if this isn't changing your mind :)

Proof of my claims of math= racism according to your side

B- why are all of you speaking for groups such as the blacks and singling them out by treating them as gods, being racist towards Asians

C- I’m not gonna debate you on this because you already have your mind made up for you due to public outrage. But for the sake of argument, find me where it says in the constitution and the 21 amendments where a woman has the legal right to an abortion any time she wishes

I did, you made a distinction to serve as a justification for your beliefs.
Where the money ends up is not a rebuttal to the fact that you have to pay to become a member and thus have access to the resources that are provided. Regardless of how they are categorized.

For example if you live in campus housing you will find friends who are not bound to be loyal to you by virtue of your shared economic interest.
This is distinct from ones who are bound by such things. In this case that "thing" happens to be a social club that both members belong to.

Can you understand the difference between an organic friendship that develops and one that is contrived by the fraternity?

Sociologically we refer to these as "bonding" relationships and "bridging" relationships.

"99% of your stance right now is due to some kids at MSU"

Well that's the one example I provided.
If you want to assume that's the sum total of the evidence that exists, that's not my concern. Sociologists have long studied the social stratification that takes place as a result of these clubs for clubs for the children of social elites.

The data is there if you are ever willing to engage with it.

There’s a lot here, and I think the best I can do for you is offer you the source of my answers instead of trying to poorly translate them myself.

I think nearly everything you’re curious and concerned about is addressed in Dan Willinghams book, one of the best books about learning I’ve ever read: https://www.amazon.com/Why-Dont-Students-Like-School/dp/047059196X

You may want to change your opinion.

The book titled “Critical Race Theory in Mathematics Education” brings together scholarship that uses critical race theory (CRT) to provide a comprehensive understanding of race, racism, social justice, and experiential knowledge of African Americans’ mathematics education. CRT has gained traction within the educational research sphere, and this book extends and applies this framework to chronicle the paths of mathematics educators who advance and use CRT.

https://www.amazon.com/Critical-Race-Theory-Mathematics-Education/dp/113856267X/ref=nodl_

>Can you provide evidence that those books actually had anything related to CRT?

The fact that the publisher didn't immediately sue for missing out on a multi million dollar PO based on false testimony comes to mind.

>Can you please explain to me how a math textbook has CRT in it anyways?

Like this?

Critical Race Theory in Mathematics Education by Julius Davis (Editor), Christopher C. Jett (Editor)

This sub lol. Brhrhrgrgrhrgr this is McCarthyism these books don’t exist!!!

First google result https://www.amazon.com/Critical-Race-Theory-Mathematics-Education/dp/113856267X

https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=l&ai=DChcSEwitkrP8sJz3AhWwCYgJHd5xD8UYABANGgJxbg&sig=AOD64_3HS3FrYon-UcUhdKvzm8v1dJfFOA&ctype=5&q=&ved=0ahUKEwiM_qz8sJz3AhWjdt8KHe8sDYEQww8IvhA&adurl=

Surprise; they do exist. As usual, the truth is somewhere in the middle.

r/politics BLELRRHGGFGG this is just right wing propaganda. There are no math text books with Critical Race Theory

Me: Google’s first result: https://www.amazon.com/Critical-Race-Theory-Mathematics-Education/dp/113856267X

Google search won’t include the true meat of them

So yeah they exist

Crazy

The admixture of CRT and mathematics education is a philosophy:

"Critical Race Theory in Mathematics Education 1st Edition"

https://www.amazon.com/Critical-Race-Theory-Mathematics-Education/dp/113856267X

I have an autographed copy of "Critical Race Theory in Mathematics Education 1st Edition". It'll be worth a fortune!

https://www.amazon.com/Critical-Race-Theory-Mathematics-Education/dp/113856267X

The mixture of CRT and mathematics is a thing. This seems to be the textbook on the subject:

"Critical Race Theory in Mathematics Education"

https://www.amazon.com/Critical-Race-Theory-Mathematics-Education/dp/113856267X

That Florida chooses to say that the mixture has no place in its schools seems fairly reasonable to me... CRT has no place in a mathematics class, and I'm not sure why you think that makes Florida a "shithole"

Unfortunate that the DoE didn't cite which textbooks contained CRT, because yes, they do exist, and if any of those were included in Florida curricula, they should rightfully be rejected.

"Critical Race Theory in Mathematics Education brings together scholarship that uses critical race theory (CRT) to provide a comprehensive understanding of race, racism, social justice, and experiential knowledge of African Americans’ mathematics education. CRT has gained traction within the educational research sphere, and this book extends and applies this framework to chronicle the paths of mathematics educators who advance and use CRT. This edited collection brings together scholarship that addresses the racial challenges thrusted upon Black learners and the gatekeeping nature of the discipline of mathematics. Across the ten chapters, scholars expand the uses of CRT in mathematics education and share insights with stakeholders regarding the racialized experiences of mathematics students and educators. Collectively, the volume explains how researchers, practitioners, and policymakers can use CRT to examine issues of race, racism, and other forms of oppression in mathematics education for Black children and adults."

>They are taught through an academic lense to better understand the people of the time. As it should be.

And the problem people have is that things are being taught through the lens of critical race theory, which believes as an axiom that racism is all-pervasive in every interaction.

>Nobody is saying that CRT changes anything in math class

They absolutely ARE suggesting that. https://www.amazon.com/Critical-Race-Theory-Mathematics-Education/dp/113856267X

US Frats have always been infamous for drugging and raping

IIRC Kavenaugh is part of a frat mentioned in this book at the time when it was infamous for gang rape.

Fuck frat rats and abolish frats.

I am reading Why Don’t Students Like School? by Willingham. He talks about how important background knowledge is to critical thinking. Phones in our hands is no substitute for a solid knowledge base which includes facts that need to be memorized. Amazon Link to book

No problem. The crime thriller writer, Scott Turow, wrote a great book about his first year of law school, called “One L”, which does a fantastic job outlining what law school is like:

https://www.amazon.com/One-Turbulent-Story-Harvard-School/dp/0143119028

Also, an old movie from the 70’s called, “The Paper Chase”, shows what law school life can be like:

https://www.amazon.com/Paper-Chase-Timothy-Bottoms/dp/B00008UALL

However, take the book and movie with a grain of salt. Not all of law school is terrifying and being a lawyer can be one of the most satisfying career choices you can make.

There are some good ideas in this book that will help you stand out: How to Be a High School Superstar: A Revolutionary Plan to Get into College by Standing Out (Without Burning Out) https://smile.amazon.com/dp/0767932587/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_-l6LFb3EEZKT6

See if you can think of an engineering-related project for your school or community (almost like a Boy Scout Eagle project). Something that could get you in the news would be great.

You could also intern for an engineer. There are lots of engineers at factories. Maybe talk to engineering managers and see if you could shadow someone or work on a project. They might not let you until you’re 18 because of machinery and insurance, but something like that could boost your resume.

I would assume you would have a solid shot at Cornell. Cornell is actually the most transfer-friendly of the Ivies. I just applied to Cornell as a transfer student with a 34 and am waiting on my decision. However, most of the other Ivy League schools take a more limited number of transfers. Not to say that it would be impossible to transfer somewhere like Yale, for example, but your shot would be significantly lower than that of a first year applicant's. I think you should check out Cal Newport's "How to Become a High School Superstar." The title may sound corny, but the author details the stories of many successful gap year students. Here's the Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/How-High-School-Superstar-Revolutionary/dp/0767932587. Also, as a prospective transfer student I've read a lot of material on the tips and tricks of transfer admission so feel free to PM me if you'd like to ask me anything! Hope this helps!!

this is one of the better books that I found on sorority. rich with detail, unfortunately you've got to have a scorecard to keep track of all of the names. when you get that mastered it's actually very enlightening. when you consider how many millions of young women even if they're good girls (and don't give in to the hedonistic side heavily) what they have to go through is insane.

Look up spaced repetition (Anki) and use it religously from the start, study 1 hour everyday no matter what instead of cramming for tests, try to find out what you want to do after school and start practicing in that direction (for example learning programming to become a CS-major). There are books worth checking out like this: https://www.amazon.com/How-High-School-Superstar-Revolutionary/dp/0767932587

This book has some good advice: How to Be a High School Superstar: A Revolutionary Plan to Get into College by Standing Out (Without Burning Out) https://www.amazon.com/dp/0767932587/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_y1wODbFY1ZB5X

There are others like it on Amazon. Maybe go to a bookstore and scan a few books like this to see if they’d be worth buying, or check them out from the library.

We plan to use some of the strategies in this book to help our kids get into the colleges if their choice. It might be helpful to you. This book says it’s not so much about the GPA and test scores, but how you market yourself and the activities you do. Good luck!
