a different way to see.
okay, why? the opening picture is to show you the “F” holes on a violin- they exist on violins, guitars, mandolins, dulcimers,other stringed instruments. the second picture is of a haha equation with love as the argument….caculus. ooo the math matics of motions
the third picture is of a magnifying glass looking over a lot of virus words repeated.. it’s point isn’t but to show you a ration of what I see. the fourth picture is of a learning device…not the exact pushbutton get answer of 1×1 through 12×12 but close enough for you to understand what I mean. and a fifth sore thumb picture of a question…. deduction… still wondering why the cat suddenly went vegan?
okay, my point here is a story if you can’t dig about and deduce what i mean how could you anyways but I want you to have a reason to read. what the hell am i on about? I’m on about seeing answers or pictures versus being able to figure or puzzle things….. in short memory versus deduction. rightish like learning versus leftish.
I learned mostly by knowing the answers. a shitty way to learn as that was my only underscored emotionally positive thing…. now in sixth grade when I was ripped from educational discovery to sit in a study hall with the degerates socially… special education. I mean was not taken from class to discover I was sentenced to be ignored and bored labeled special. now stop- it’s not my fault that I didn’t deduce the opportunity in front of me at what 11…just after a summer of saturdays watching calculus ooo ing the graphics and understanding motion but not the damn gibberish to explain it – just the concept or the answers
I learned 2 years before some and still at a level i suppose through middleschool although I showed a very marked problem with? mechanics of language- not what language and stories are but mechanics…what is a proper use of a comma? shut up. I can spell and probably better than a good many
mmmh? prove it? kiss off, this is my blog and I have a reason not to perfect for you. it’s hard to see what you do therefore I miss your perfection having had to guess the answers for 37 years… and I’m fairly good at it.
but stop, the point here is in a way left to my own devices, I learned what is only to “cheat” thus a process of learning stopped within my processees. the right answers, no longer important as much as the process speedily gaining right answers becomes important- this may be why college has elluded me twice while I’m still good at what I’m good at; I’m still testing the same 37 years later as roughly as fast mentally as I did at 7 without my glasses as i do now with my eyewear….hey we all fade in time shhh. I’m still pretty heh. faded glory…smack my ass in me jeans…so to speak.
so I;m sitting in sixth grade and I see this calculus “f” integrated… to know that the “F meant that not fail was a profitable thing to know because of this next thing learned
13 x 13 = 169. why those two things? because what tests were designed to test was deduction and those same exact questions repeated for? six years. I thus posess a high grade on tests because I didn’t know that 13.x 13 meaning the answers important were 169, or the square root of 169 is 13…remember the grid learner picture?…again while the tool helped me to understand faster in a picture form what deduction means… it isn’t deduction.
now look at the last picture of a mousetrap with a caption of: Still wondering why the cat suddenly went vegan?” now ask yourself how fast it took you to get the joke….or if you get the joke…. I do and I can.
woot for me but it took? not a jiffy hence this humor isn’t for me it took about a second or two… long enough to look stupid for not getting it and not want to play.
this brings up the third picture… this is what i see. I have to be about 2 inches from this fifteen inch laptop screen thus effectively see about oh 1/4 of it even if I can guess the picture and what all the blur says in an instant hust like you can…and actually likely quite a lot faster than many…this also leads you to see me as smart. memory and guessing, not deduction. but the point here isn’t me special like that although if you think so, thank you. the point of todays exercise is
how do you pardon people who could have helped you not to be pissed off for being bunged into a room with degenerates socially to be bored feeling cheated out of discovery only to learn best i couled only to learn that such was cheating in a way, not to learn better study habits because that can’t be reinforced with out understanding which i sure didn’t get in sixth grade… how come i wasn’t taught to help people not social degenerates learn when I could help duh, I’m smart enough to in little ways learn to lead instead of
learn to rifle through the emergency contact cards learning all the cute girls’ phone numbers in the in-school suspension I got for being shown a lesson that adult didn’t care “” to teach me and school yard honor didn’t count for me I was turned in in precisely the time it took to beline to the monitor. later decduce the other real bad boy of school – also bunged into the special ed area for his horrible offense of running away from a fight during the all school assembly when the barreling ex-navy gym teach came steamtraining for his collison with justice….oh shucks anyone deduce that middleschool children are in far more trouble for ditching school than a fight? good people
I told him why feel despondant, you’re busted, your made to feel sad- fuck em, you’re in a room with a television and a computer – games over here. you’re supposed to not get society fine don’t watch tv or entertain yourself fuck ‘em. fuck what they want- you can’t beat them but you don’t have to play their game.
that’s what i learned and not good deduction…rebellion… for you see I couldn’t figure out the good ways. I was only shown irritants and how to deal with that on my own. pity I wasnt’ helped to be more positive..who has the time?
how do you forgive people who fail you… not kidding i was told to take responsibility- It took me 4 IEP’s which by the way i attended in sixth onwards… I was so pissed that yet again “taking responsibility didn’t mean stand to your music/consequences but? don’t get caught. I really do not like that I’m left to founder .
ever see a whisper of strong sense of independance because of a distaste to being labeled disable leading to a real life situation where i’ve upped a price for my salvation by being harder to deal with and less fun to teach? to invest in? choose… yet what do I want now then forever more? to be invested in?
bet you didn’t think I’d go this direction with picture did you? heheheheh.

This is really sad, Josh. Obviously you’re very bright, although I can imagine being frustrated if I were your teacher because a good part of the time I have no idea what you’re talking about. But I do believe education ought to be broader, more flexible, more diverse, in order to accommodate the conventionally smart kids and the ADHD boy who can’t stop moving and talking and the kid who sees things in shapes and relations but can’t necessarily put them in words and the kid who needs everything in a tidy logical line and the kid who sees things at a glance but has trouble with details and the kid who might learn best through woirking it out in a puzzle on the floor and the kid who talks brilliantly but writes like a third grader.
@Roadkill_Spatula - ;) not so much sad to me now! just was curious. tuesday morning quarterbacking
naughty naughty. but the joy is okay missed that opportunity as .*I* understand/stood things whatever, because it still gets me to learn i still win…
of course anything hard won has a way of building confidence
My own educational resentments were minor: being assigned a report, without ever being taught what a report was; right answers marked wrong because the teacher was looking for a specific word rather than meaning; the sheer mind-numbing dryness of 1960s elementary education; the tedium of New Math.
@Roadkill_Spatula - oooo you’d love the video again on the cluster method
I suppose it’s time for? “kid!, HEY KID@…And STill MUDDY!” aint it followed immediately by ” “When I think back to all the CRAP I learned in high school…it;s a wonder I ccan think at all.” “Another Brick in the Wall” Pink Floyd and “Kodachrome” Paul Simon” I’m sure you’d agree it’s in order
heheheheheheh
Those songs did indeed strike a chord when I first heard them. How can you have your pudding if you don’t eat your meat?
@Roadkill_Spatula - YES! “Please Sir, can I have some more?”
Makes me think “Sabbath
Bloody Sabbath“… Be glad you
did not study here.
@Lakakalo -
OH Lakakalo
you’ve the win, t’aint that bad though
just learn it later.
@starmanjones -
It is over here.
We had to memorize (and
write) pages, “as is”.
“The final exam
will include essays number
seven through twelve.”
>_<
@Lakakalo -
discover lifelong
ooo shiny, OOOO shiny thing!
joy smiles bliss! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
You seemed to be able to learn despite of stupid teachers that had no idea of how to teach a diverse class…but then you are a smart cookie
not all teachers are like that
Shine on like a crazed
Neil Diamond…? Did not know
essays were such fun.

@SisterMae - heh, it is not that teachers are dumb- I highly doubt that- but like all PEOPLE, there are juudgements whatever their other synonymns, that cost. I just thought of the list that was a simple example with scope…one frustration persay
- butbefore we sing yet more songs lol, the point wasn’t the damnation but the other one fixing? no, not really that’s easy they whoever are forgiven instantly, that’s not my problem- the problem if their is one is to not let said happen again. heh. to not “forget” with love.
@godfatherofgreenbay - lol, thank goodness.
@Lakakalo -
hint, wordsie one here
ME not often out of words
ink stains-peace disturbed
I love the third picture.
Two years ago I got a taste of how DPS handles kids with disabilities and I was quite glad there was choice for me in that matter since what I saw was an appalling lack of resources, attention and concern. Before any educators start high-fiving and ass-patting any particular professional victory they should contemplate cases like what you describe here. Makes me wants holler. And, hell, I always figured you aint retarded.
i still lurk like nessie
(maybe
a book

@dirtbubble - oh let people have their affirmations they fight for… you know damn well the clause wherein we are only as good as our last day and the employee of the month does not carry any clout whatever period awards are bullshit. they know it but it’s a party and we should party in life if we can
your name is dirtbubble- you’re cooool now lets crack a whiskey.
@my_words_are_my_sanctuary - yay! you! I didn’t get to your direction this season duh lol. but hey save a lil liver and kidney from pie eyed for me so we can share a good’n
you might be right…oh sorry
stories of our hearts
pulsing with hope, deflating
wind ‘cross a boozed tongue
Now there is inclusion which is sold as diversity and classroom enrichment which broadens the experiences and interactions of all involved. (my cats are spazzing out on me)
@sleekpeek - you out sar CAT smed them????
@starmanjones
Essays are fun if
you don’t have to memorize
Every. Single. Word.
