well, if mommy said so
also I totally agree learning something shouldn’t take away from the time you do other subjects and get good grades in
@mbachur; I’m very good at math, so are most of my kids who at age 3 showed a natural understanding for that subject however there is no need for most people to know more then elementry school level. For a high school kid to leave class and miss out on the topics that they are good at but not importent in the teachers eyes like spelling, writing, history, science, just to have math tutoring wich they will forget as soon as the test is over is a loose/loose situation.
Besides the spelling mistakes which eclipse should probably yell at you for I don’t really get what you’re getting at (I’m really tired been up since 4 a.m. with a 45 min nap in between) but no where do I see in the OP that he/she leaves class for the tutor
deiye,
that was the first gemara that popped into my mind also
Next time, just hit her son with your car, and she will learn like that.
remind me not to be around you
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.
lol it was supposed to be a shtuch (I was saying youre illogical) but seriously my wife can’t do math either and coincidently it was my favorite subject
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 🙂
gumball go back into your machine 🙂
stick with your thread (attention all CR RIGHTIES)
…And when the rest of us write English the pen doesnt smudge on our hands
technicalities, technicalities
I figured it was you who posted this
Candy: Really?:O What AM I missing out?? (Besides taking part in this thread that is…:))
well when you write hebrew the pen doesn’t smudge on your hand
mbachur…you have kids! Aren’t you “married bachur”?
1. I only have 1 kid
2. As stated before I chose this screen name for my ebay acct when I was in mestivta.
3. “married” and “bachur” don’t match (once youre married youre a Yungerman
Yeah GO Lefties!
youre right,
i saw this thread before I even knew of the other

no it’s a prat of that it’s not K’Aharon
oh yeah, I’m a proud lefty and the Steipler was a lefty too
why not?
M= mesivta bachur= bachur
Is that because every time you sit down you bounce back up again?
1.use your toothbrush in the morning if it was inexplicably wet,not dry?
I would be too tired to notice, and anyway I get up before my wife does
2.remove your shoes in fancy house even if you discovered a sock/stocking hole by your big toe?
i don’t know, i can’;t picture it
3.pretend to still be bentching if you realized you finished way ahead of others at the table?
nope I’m usually the first to finish
It’s possible to find an apt for that price yossi
Hi joe,
Hi joe,
Hi joe.
I’ve actually had a simple password for who knows how long
do you feel comfortable around her?
no I’m from Rhode Island (no, it’s not in NY) I only came here b/c I was in yeshiva
MBachur- stay in Florida! Don’t come to NY doesn’t pay!
if your wife is homesick it does 😉
btw available June/July
I see your moving also so I should suggest talk to Yeled V’Yalda
while were on topic of house renting,
we’re looking to move to NY and was wondering if anyone knows of a 2 BR in Queens or Far Rockaway for 1350 at most
Zeeskite,
maybe you can call your nose *kapusta* b/c kapusta is “always stuffed”
oh no,
I’m agreeing with joseph, then something MUST be wrong in what i’m thinking i’ll get back to everyone tomorrow
The ad costs the advertiser a lot of money and THEY should be compensated.
could be i don’t know l’halacha but the gemara says a case where a tanna ripped off a goyishe girls shirt b/c it was untznius (he thought she was jewish) (I don’t remember where the gemara is)
daniel
from your own words
Just one of the reasons why I absolutely do not like Purim.
this means that you have other reasons why YOU DON”T LIKE PURIM you can say you don’t like it that people don’t act like they should on purim, but it’s different than saying you don’t like purim. anyway what’s wrong with honking your horn or blasting music please enlighten me
I agree with popa, and anyway bachurim have a taavah to look so I think what they did was perfectly fine and even commendable b/c it would stop others from looking
maybe he left with his bubby (chayavinishlivisumei)
he posted on purim
well popa,
if you disposed of the battery right away and was careful with your shirt you would’ve saved $65 and once you realized the battery had acid you shouldn’t have put it near your backpack
oh,
anyway my wife does the rice
You don’t like purim?
easy,
put water in a pot and then put rice and boil it
I actually had kavana during shma koleinu by the part where your supposed to add about parnassah and I was thinking that “Kol ShePoshet Yado Nosnin Lo” and after I was done with shmoneh esrei someone came up to me and gave me $100 in an envelope (hows that for fast service)
yup
just try to get another blue light special in ModMart
go to screen name subtitle and post ther
Grandmaster,
I know that, that’s why i asked after i was drunk
I was just showing her that wives on’t care if their husbands get drunk
One time I dated a girl who was a chesed powerhouse (really into doing chesed) and when it didn’t work out she set me up with someone else
I noticed twice yesterday that guys were calling girls by their first name in public
Yeah,
Even I called to some girls (something which I don’t usually do and I said Mrs.___ (In context, it was to ask if they liked it if their husbands get drunk)
YES, I probably couldn’t have gotten drunk without you
