See, if we just removed students, the school would function perfectly!
I think the millwrights in our plant went to this school.
This gets pointed out everytime a variation on this graphic gets posted, but it can work if the gears are on different planes, like they’re not all grinding up with one another. So maybe two gears are actually touching, but you’ve got a shaft going from the center of one of those connecting to another gear that’s actually touching the conflicting gear. Or it could be one of the gears is actually wide enough that it’s spinning two of the other ones, but those two aren’t touching.
I would argue that we have to be constrained by what is actually shown by the illustration and what is implied by it. It is implied that they all work together at the same time and if we're just making up things that aren't shown like an extra plane, we can make up anything.
A planetary gear set would have illustrated the point without breaking the laws of assumption.
Because the point of the illustration is that all of the gears are directly interacting with each other to achieve something. That gears don't work that way either didn't occur to the original creator, or they just didn't care.
Why not just use a chain to circle them all 🤷... it's even more fun to see that than this.
You're missing that metal jam rod labeled "republicans" who have blatantly claimed to do exactly that.
That's the gear labeled "parents."
It should absolutely be the role of public education to give kids a fighting chance at escaping crazy at home. Some kids will have parents who are more qualified on certain topics than teachers, but an effective education system should not assume that all or even most parents are competent. That should be a bonus, not a requirement to educate children.
Parents should be an addendum not blatantly jamming the whole thing by setup from...yeah...done said enough all ready. Anyone that don't understand gear but old enough to be hear needs to go back to a school that wasn't sabotaged.
It's a perfect illustration, really.
Remove the Students and parents and teachers can have their authoritarian circlejerk without hurting anyone.
Remove the Parents and maybe Students can actually have a direct voice in things that affect them without the meddling of people not involved in the system.
Remove the Teachers and... well, the same really. Facilitated self-directed learning without stifling bureaucracy and exposure to bullying is the best of all worlds.
Sorry, but are you claiming that the best-case scenario is an education system without…teachers ‽
Good rule of thumb for watching education political discussion is that a large portion of the population will blame the teachers.
It's always the teachers fault for them. Full stop.
Not the parents, not the incredibly apathetic or combative kids, not the administration running the school, not the politicians making up random standards, nope, none of those guys. Just the person trying to figure everything out with your kids a few hours a day. They're the ones causing all the issues.
Let's fire them all, pay them less, make them work overtime, and then the problem will be fixed!
There's a reason over half of teachers leave the profession before year 5 and are high on rates of anxiety, depression, and risk for substance abuse.
Braindead. Home schooling is a detriment to students sanity
If teachers refers to our current style of teaching in public education, then maybe.
The problem is clearly the administrators who built it.
True, with a good education system and good teachers, the parents should not be involved.
What are you talking about? Home life is incredibly critical to a students success in school and life. With literally no communication, that situation would deteriorate fast.
You are absolutely insane. You can't drop your kid off at school like they are a car in need of an oil change. There are 1000 things parents do or don't that effect if the kid can even listen in class, let alone learn.
I hate to break it to you, but most American parents are not fit to parent and kids would by and large have better outcomes just living in boarding schools throughout their childhoods.
You're welcome to look at the statistics on child abuse, neglect, domestic violence and extreme poverty if you don't believe me.
Believe it or not, a heart looks very different from how it is typically drawn. It wouldn't function at all if it looked like how we drew it
A drawn "heart" is a reference to either a female ass, breasts, or vulva - at least something I currently vaguely remember tells me that
It's evocative of those things for sure. There's also the theory that the heart symbol is shaped like a mildly poisonous seed that induced infertility. This might be a myth though, as the plant doesn't exist today.
The heart symbol may also actually be a simplified representation of a real heart. A heart is a complex shape that you alnost never see. If priests can be so bad at drawing cats, I can totally believe that the heart was simplified so much.
It would be so funny, if it weren't so sad.
There should be a lever in that diagram labeled "engineering instructor".
it works as designed!
