we don't elect brain , we elect a person


or , in this culture, a personality

You don't elect a person ( to any office) based on their knowledge?.. their skills, on how intelligent they are?... really?

Then what do you base our vote on... looks?

well it appears the " culture".. for the next 4 years... is Trump.

quite obviously the 'culture' does not

or else the person with the most educational background would always win

I take many things including intelligence into account, personally

like experience on paper and demeanor in person

or else the person with the most educational background would always win


_____________________________________________________________________

Nope.

Intelligences come in many forms and many times to has absolutely nothing to do with education. experience ( which is knowledge and gained on the job), street smarts (again knowledge) problem solving ( yet again.. the brain).. and last but not least... common sense ( again.. the brain)

Have nothing to do with education.

in the context of this thread, 'brain' is being referenced literally


an adolescents brain is more developed than a toddlers but not nearly as much as a senior citizens

and a senior citizens brain is no longer 'developing', therefore much less open to learn or retain new things

"in the context of this thread, 'brain' is being referenced literally"


NO, the thread topic is juvenile delinquents and a bad teacher and mock assination.
And parents who believe, they should all have consequences.

But you could make your own thread about how poor, suppressed and oppressed, underage and under developed brains are so emotionally unstable that they are triggered by the mere mention of THEIR future President's name - and how they should be tolerated in society.

Literally.

I have no interest in argument for argument sake

the teens did something that the thread introduced and the conversation flowed to consequences for the actions

I contributed my ideas and the reasons, which included consideration of an adolescents brain

as an educator and a parent, I am just as concerned with applying consequences that teach as I am with consequences that merely 'punish'

Oh, your a educator now.. a teacher?...where.. in what capacity?

And do you project your views on your " students" or do you just shut up because you want to get paid for your services.

The school system should expel the little basterds,
and profile them as "terrorists".

Just like they do the kids, who draw pictures of guns,
point their fingers and make "bang" noises, or even bring
gun shaped bubble blowers.

e same argument could be made as an adult. This is a serious sign of sociopathy or even psychopathy.

If this were about Obama and not Trump you would be singing a different tune.

Not profile them as terrorist, they should be on the Secret Service watch list. The FBI's BAU believe it or not is not like what you see on TV's Criminal Minds, it is broken up into 5 Unit's and one of them is a threat assessment unit that handles cases like this all day every day. At the very list one of those Agents should be sitting down with these criminals.

You can bet that they are nicely pigeonholed already with all the Alphabet-Services!

this kind of goes against the grain of the arts & craft classes going on in college.. doesn't it.

1st class: twist tie flower making and finger painting
2nd class: The fundamentals of Presidential assassinations
3 class: Molotov cocktails. The proper throwing techniques
Lunch break

So I take it you don't agree with what I said?

No I do agree.

I just find it ironic that certain segments of education are tolerant to this type behavior ( my guess is their need to be PC). And another segment of education is trying to " shield" them from reality (i.e. Trump winning the election, thus arts & crafts classes)

If you make threats against the president.. even in jest, you should expect to receive a knock on the door. And the government does take all of them seriously and they do ( and have) knocked on many doors. Especially since 9-11.

Rule of thumb:

It ain't a good idea. may sound cool to do around friends.. but its not too cool when 2 secrete service officers are sitting at your kitchen table and you are now explaining your words to them .. and your parents.

The America wherein I grew up realized that words don't hurt and fingers aren't loaded. Therefore, the only appropriate measure in determining illegal/censurable activity is whether you've physically harmed someone, stolen from them or destroyed their property. Everything else is PC BS.

Human brains are 'plastic', which means neurons perpetually prune and reroute throughout the lifespan.

You may have heard that the brain is plastic. As you know. the brain is not made of plastic…Neuroplasticity, or brain plasticity, refers to the brain's ability to CHANGE throughout life. The human brain has the amazing ability to reorganize itself by forming new connections between brain cells (neurons).Feb 26, 2008
