everyone basically said the answer so no need to repeat

I have a new question (Halacha L’Meisa)(well not anymore)

what should you do if you start saying shabbos shmoneh esrei on yom tov and you remember in the middle

(artscroll siddurim get very confusing)

i guess that makes me number 2

thank you ckbshl,

if I got to the CR sooner I would’ve said the same thing

yes jolly rancher

and 400+ posts

U can count on me (actually maybe not because hey you never know) but seriously I probably would post for you on the day of

im looking for my a potato kugel recipe my wife needs from the spice and spirit cookbook asap

any help please

1. I don’t know

2. No

3. I would ask why are you giving me this?

or help your parents clean for pesach

eclipse,

I know one things for sure there wont be any spelling mistakes or grammatical errors (and maybe a bunch of articles about watermelon)

🙁

yeah that is sad,

people can be inconsiderate sometimes but maybe you can be dan lchaf zchus them that they needed to be home for some reason

May I be the first to say MAZAL TOV!

we had our kid a week before R”H too,

You can register for Babies r Us now, (it can’t hurt)

May I suggest getting what to expect when you’re expecting, it’s a great step by step book

I am here,

I know what you mean

Oh,

I thought you were going to say what Obama said during the election in 08 (when gas was just as high) “Make sure your tires are filled with enough air” (strange why it wasn’t mentioned now)

Tro,

the answer is the avir of eretz yisrael makes the food taste better so even if you are the same owner the meat is different

Popa,

there is no tachanun in all of nisan (which is better than Adar because tachnun is usually said on sad days) also b’nisan asidin ligoel

Yontel,

I don’t get how it’s an insult he took up the word pe and made Pe HaAson

I also had a hunch it wasn’t you (mod 80) because it didn’t seem your type thats why I was a little shocked

btw I find no problem in watching movies like shrek which I myself have watched

There’s a gemara in kesubos that says a person is only insulted if it’s true

There’s a mishna in sotah that says a the price of boshes is all according to the one who embarrased and the one who was embarrased

so it’s probably because you don’t feel what he says is meaningful

mod 80,

tsk tsk, watching movies? (Shrek’s subtitle)

also I totally agree learning something shouldn’t take away from the time you do other subjects and get good grades in

deiye,

that was the first gemara that popped into my mind also

I got this from a blog show it to your teacher

Bad at Math? Blame It on Your Parents

And if your kids aren’t good at math, blame yourself

This hogwash is brought to you courtesy of NBC – Connecticut.

I have no doubt that what the UCLA researchers found as to faster nerve impulses resulting in faster signaling and therefore, faster processing of information is true. Clearly, some people learn things at a faster rate than others. We all have our cognitive limits.

Nevertheless, these limits can be challenged. Intelligence is malleable. (See Daniel Willingham, Why Don’t Students Like School? )

We already have a problem in our country with accepting this view as part of our culture, we don’t need people going around making excuses for their lack of math ability. Our children, in particular, need us to be convincing them of quite the opposite.

“In China, Japan, and other Eastern countries, intelligence is more often viewed as malleable. If students fail a test or don’t understand a concept, it’s not they’re stupid– they just haven’t worked hard enough yet. This atrribution is helpful to students because it tells them that intelligence is under their control. If they are performing poorly, they can do something about it.” -Willingham, p. 131

Math ability is the result of deliberate practice, the kind of practice that makes perfect. Doing well in math requires effort and sometimes it’s not particurlarly fun. As Willingham so clearly points out, sometimes we do our best to avoid thinking altogether. That’s precisely why effort matters. “When children believe that their efforts to learn make them smarter, they show greater persistence with math.” (National Mathematics Advisory Panel) This is the message that we need to communicate to our children (and to ourselves as parents).

So am I saying the researchers at UCLA got it all wrong? Not at all. Science supports what they’ve discovered about genetics influencing intelligence. However, we must temper this view with caution. “Our genetic inheritance does impact our intelligence, but it seems to do so mostly through the environment. There is no doubt that intelligence can be changed,” states Daniel Willingham. Clearly, a child born to parents who are good at math or who communicate a passion for math, and who encourage this trait in their own children are going to alter the outcome.

The environment isn’t limited to home and to parenting either. This news story is irresponsible because it’s letting educators off the hook and blaming parents and children for a lack of math ability! Clearly, well qualified teachers of mathematics armed with a coherent and cumulative curricula can increase mathematics ability in children. They do so in Singapore and Finland and many, many other countries that outperform us on internationally benchmarked assessments. Our children are no less capable. Our children are underperforming.

show your teacher a study that math comes from the logical side of your brain as opposed to all the other subjects and your patur 🙂
