I actually feel bad for the Bobcats
And Biyombo and Kemba. They are gonna be stuck on an awful team for a long time.
if it's the #1 pick they will take Davis or Drummond (if he comes out)
Harrison would be a popular pick, being that he plays at UNC.
That is true
I dont think Drummond will be great personally. Davis could be a superstar, as could Barnes.
Anthony Davis is going to be a monster.
He has Marcus Camby’s motor and defensive ability + elite athleticism.
There are just so many good players
This draft could be the best all time in terms of depth. 2003 is close.
2008 is looking pretty legit too.
D-Rose, Westrbrook, Love, EJ, DJ,Lopez, Hibbert,Batum….
They can have Gomes and we get DJ Agustin

they traded Chandler and Crash
for Maggs … brilliance…
someone send a memo to MJ: it doesn’t matter that you change the system if your FO just plainly sucks…

I just think, from my perspective
as a benchwarmer, it’s one thing to sub in once CP3 gets a lead. But to play with him would be invaluable experience.
isnt that pretty redudant
although it kind of works.

did you go to public high school?
I mean, I have 7 hours of school a day + 2-5 hours of hw a night. And the vast majorities of my teachers are simpletons. My math teacher spells ’you’re’ like ‘ur’…
My english teacher has an art degree and just uses the other teachers’ lesson plans- without knowing what she is talking about.
And these are the ‘best’ teachers, teaching advanced classes.
I'm a senior and my year has admittedly been easy as hell.
No math or science classes.
I'm a sophomore
but my senior year I’m taking AP Stats and AP Enviornmental Sciences. Stats is easy, and APES is only one semester.
I've had some good teachers
and some terrible ones.
the teachers in their 30’s and 40’s seem to be the best. Know their stuff but also have teaching experience.
public high school in Belgium is quite good quality
no private schools as you Americans know them

basically in california
there is no education money, so public school techers make nothing. All the good teachers get offered, and accept, higher salaries to teach at private schools.
you have some drain here in Belgium to

also, don't know if it is like this in Belgium
but once a teacher gets tenure here, it’s over. They are going to suck for decades. My biology teacher last year was in his early 80’s, and he had been teaching at the same school for 40 some years. He had origanally been a coach, but once he got enure he quit his coaching job and only taught. He was teaching the same day-to-day curriculum as he had for decades, and his lectures (also carried over) were frequently false.
tenure is a problem here too
but most teachers will retire at 60 and they are forced to retire at 65

they should be allowed to
fire a teacher once he stops doing his job.
I don’t know if you have heard about it overseas, but in Socal there was an elementary school teacher who had been locking his classroom door and forcing his students to do obscene things which I will not repeat on here. Because he has tenure, they can’t fire him. So he gets payed to sit in a room until he gets convicted and put in jail.
same here
we had a guy who killed 3 people and they had to keep paying him until he got convicted.

I partially believe that
some older people would work harder and be more effective if they did not have tenure, and had to work to keep their jobs.
The flip side is that they would
always be fired as companies replaced them with younger, fresher workers.
well the older generation is more of the
“I get a job as a civil servant and I’m set for live” whilst my generation is more sensitive about job content and such…

Yes, absolutely nothing is worse...
than a horrible teacher in an AP or honors class. That teacher is obviously only relegated to your school, and ruins the entire class’ grades with their teaching, yet every student in the class is still competing for college placement with people who were taught better or benefited from grade inflation in the same class.

yeah
the method america is using is “teach it younger”… not to mention that being in california all of my textbooks are from the mid 90’s.
when I was in middle school
our science book talked about the possibility of landing on the moon in the future
ahhaha
my algebra 2/trig book last year was 5 editions old.
one of the other schools in our district bought new ones so we got them.
college is a piece of cake compared to high school
“it gets better”
yeah that seems tricky
in Belgium you just choose whatever college you want…

nope
there are some restrictions on certain courses (medicine I believe) but the rest is all open.

it's a real pain here
all the standardized testing basically makes each student a set of numbers. Only the top colleges (columbia, harvard, stanford) actually look at individuals. Halfway through my sophomore year dozens of colleges have contacted me trying to get their names in.
Anyone here can go to community colleges to earn a 2-year associates degree, but yoy have to apply for a 4-year college.
no standardized testing here
I actually work in education (not teaching but the administration/financial side) and would welcome standardized testing

It is good to an extent
But I know alot of people who are smart and not good at those tests. My class rank is around 100th, but I finished in the top 5 in every standardized test last year.

it would be a bench mark
lot of schools here cherry pick students. Which results in a bad reputation for the few schools that don’t and get all the “difficult” students. Bench marking would allow those school to showcase their added value.

California has a 'star' test
that is essentially a benchmark. It goes all the way down to 3rd grade I believe. Public schools recieve more funding if they can get higher star test scores.
still ...

true
like how teachers screw over hs students. I am fairly independent so I am fine mostly but I feel for my struggling classmates.
we have those too but they are a minority
most teachers I had cared even though we as students didn’t always cared about them.

we have a math teacher at my school
I passed his class last year, but during fall semester this year he failed 80-some freshmen. He has also been in trouble severl times for making innapropriate jokes. He has called female athletes ‘all lesbians’ in class, told a jewish kid he would ‘send him to the gas chambers’, and other terrible things.
That's a benefit of knowing about the 80's. -- lol

Long as he’s inspiring better team play, can’t just look for gaudy numbers.
