Look, the real issue is that parents put this insane amount of pressure on teachers regarding grades.
Then, they drop their kids off for freshman year of high school with a perfect 4.0 GPA, only for half of them to fail the very first math and physics placement exams.

To me, it also feels like you're being a bit hysterical—maybe I'm wrong, and I certainly hope you aren't passing that negative vibe onto the kid, but rather pulling back and guiding them in the right direction instead.

Only three students with a 4.0 in a class of 36?
That's pretty much how it is here now, too. In a grade of about 100 kids, you might have seven of them hitting a 4.0.
Though, honestly, I suspect some of those grades are handed out as favors. For instance, I know for a fact mine wasn't earned in Art class.

When you say "in the grade," what does that actually mean? If there were three classes of about 35 students each, that puts the percentage at roughly 2-3%.
But nowadays, in a standard class of 20-24 students, you'll see at least 18 honor roll students, and 10 to 12 of them are sitting on a perfect 4.0.

Cop sidelined from the main group

neonorca38, if he were one of ours, I honestly think that rebel against the world persona ☕would suit him perfectly.

That’s honestly the biggest joke I’ve read all day—I’m dying laughing... "Lone wolf against everyone," yet they're practically begging for any little scrap that comes their way. 🤣

Bazu?
I am being completely serious—I don't have any time for games.

Anthony Sanders95 said:Where is the actual sport in any of this? 🤣

Soccer used to be an actual sport, at least until the Bosman ruling—or the law, if you want to be technical—took over.
After that, it just turned into a high-end money laundering machine.

And honestly, you can't say anything smarter than that, because there simply isn't an answer to his question.

Are the Hajduk kids still targeting the rest of the country?
Is the focus shifting toward seniors?

Douglas Roberts49 said:Look at that—just look at what the fans are screaming now.🤣

They’re all shouting at the guys who are heading to the stadium next week. ☕

What exactly prevented those penalty calls? 😁

hiddencyclist112 said:Is it really that hard to grasp? 🤔

Everyone south of the border is just useless, and everyone living in or around the big city is equally vapid.
Please, do me a favor and stop acting surprised when things like this happen; otherwise, I’ll start drawing the line all the way down to the southern counties. Maybe even further. Understood?

And what about those cowards over in San Francisco, hanging out on the pier? 🤣

stormyangler32 said:Honestly, just grab some cheap IPTV service and call it a day—everyone uses MaxSport. I only keep mine specifically for the MLS matches, but I can still catch the USL games on MaxSport 2 anyway.

I pay about three bucks a month for Bembar; I'm honestly just commenting on how ESPN handles things.

It’s such a shame they don't offer multiple streams anymore, just this single one.

Wait, what are these guys yelling about? Are they just a bunch of uptight city slickers?

Is this guy still presiding over cases?
I was under the impression he’d been kicked out of the officiating organization following that Hajduk-Istria match..

Could someone perform an analysis on how many of those 43 penalties were actually unjustified?
Thanks in advance.

analogbear5 said:I'm not even getting into whether the investment makes sense—that's beside the point. The real issue is looking at the numbers putting massive pressure on their budget. Which means—and I'll say this again—they aren't cutting production to help out the Russians like the post I'm replying to suggests; they're doing it for their own sake.

Not sure where you got the idea that the Saudis are buying up U.S. Treasuries when they’ve actually been selling them more than buying them lately. Just for context, Ireland holds about 2.5 times more U.S. Treasuries in its fund than Saudi Arabia does.

And how exactly is the European Union supposed to "wake up"?

We need a total embargo on exporting any kind of technology to non-democratic societies—meaning Africa, South America, and Asia. Anyone caught violating this should face life imprisonment and asset forfeiture. If people haven't realized it by now, we are at war; it's just a matter of when things escalate. We need to cut China off at the pass, even if it means severing all trade and political ties. We must turn back to the democratic and civilized world. There is no other option.

This.
If there's smoke, there's fire. Hopefully, the European Union will finally come to its senses.

hiddeneagle98 said:It feels like everyone’s just chasing a quick paycheck in Dubai. You’ve got these experts who grind away for maybe five years at five times their usual salary, just so they can head back home with a fat bank account... nobody actually wants to move there permanently. Why would you want to settle down in that godforsaken desert kingdom where you can't even grab a decent beer or see a woman showing a bit of skin without it being an issue? Once they stop splashing that oil money around, the whole place is going to turn into a ghost town. Without constant, massive investment in upkeep, the sand is going to swallow those streets and degrade everything so fast it’ll look abandoned within a century. All those artificial palm islands and man-made wonders they built? They’ll just erode away without non-stop dredging and maintenance. Eventually, all that'll be left is goats. The only thing in that place that isn't a total financial illusion is the cash itself.
And now this idiot thinks they can just build some massive city in a straight line stretching out for hundreds of miles? I guess he just really loves lines, I suppose.

Dubai doesn't rely on oil anymore, and you can grab a beer just fine—plus, finding a little cleavage is even easier. If you've got the cash, of course...

Linda Adams said:Arabs from the Middle East and the work🤦

The Saudi are trying to destroy "the West" while simultaneously building these massive, megalomaniac cities that rely entirely on the very Western tourists they despise. If the West collapses, who's going to visit these ghost towns?😁

Who’s actually going to do the work? The Chinese?
