my mom is a teacher and she has similar observation. It also has a lot to do with how parents treat their children. i don’t know if that’s a problem in US, in Ukraine my generation (born late 80s early 90s) is very insecure about their social performance and stats and it’s a complete bullshit. The current middle and school kids are affected by that. There is a lot of stuff in children’s heads that just needs time to settle and forcing to push through at someone’s else pace is counterproductive. it is a regular pattern when a student starts with solid grades but the chase for the highest grade over the years completely wrecks them and their overall grades start to slip hard because their parents conditioned them to perform and they try to brute force their way to high grades like it’s a competition when it is anything but. The burnout they go through is brutal. And by the time they finish school - it’s just a performer of sorts - a person who is able to do enough for a grade or rewards but there’s just no substance no passion behind it. Meanwhile, students who starts off mediocre or low grades at middle school level up significantly by the time they get to high school simply because they commit to figure it out and once they tap into what clicks for them (math, sciences, languages, arts) they just start pieces together their personality jigsaws and it is way less dramatic then with high performers who would do anything for a grade.

man, i forgot about that episode. shame on me. Grand TNG rewatch is overdue!

it works though. you just need to turn off clipping.

Strange that Star Trek never did that scenario - it is pure Pirandello existential horror.

now that’s girl power!

what’s unnerving is that there lots of POW reports that indicate that women showcase far more cruelty towards female POWs compared to men.

Should’ve blamed Martians. Worked for me that one time.

gotta check it out. thanks for the tip

yeah, and this approach is so bullshit it is ridiculous - it depends on a child being self-conscious and motivated enough to get into stuff that A LOT of time and effort to understand even with significant adult assistance and proper focus. Of course there will be a significant segment that won’t handle it well

never doubt my ability to mess up the unmessable. i just might stumble into disabling clipping and end up falling forever.

My dad used to say Apple is evil exactly because of that - they make stuff for people who want fancy shit but have little to no interest in actual tech.

It’s almost as if there’s a demand for meat and potatoes OS.

LTSC is probably usable but if the base is so broken - i wonder if LTSC is still as good as Win10 LTSC.

the bigger problem is that some teachers are so mentally checked out that they make those subjects actively unappealing. I wonder what makes them that way…

probably.

with my knack for drifting i’ll miss both and hit something else entirely even within this imaginary scenario

Is there a way to take both routes?

The telemetry is overbearing too lately.

not including PowerToys inside basic package is a fucking choice. Win11 is literally unusable without it in many aspects.

that’s some hardcore Resident Evil shit.
