does anyone else have just like, some guy that they idolize like a celebrity?

Todd Edmond, Acellus history teacher. That's a guy whose hand I need to shake. Maybe talk about the weather with. Also maybe go fishing and eat a mid sandwich together. i don't feel that way about any other celebrities. but man, look at this guy.

this is the best guy in the world. and he's just some guy named todd from ohio. but i'd give up probably a trip to waffle house to meet him.

Oddly threatening line from my online class

It’s really no surprise Acellus is moving to AI generated images for their lessons

the windows make no sense, the bats are messed up, and the trees are unnaturally thin. I hate this stuff, Roger.

@rogerbillings-blog stop this now

Day 102

I died this weekend. It’s been a long time in coming, but this weekend put me over the edge. My ministry, my job, my family, my wife, my future, my self—I release them all. None of them can provide the stability I crave. My only anchor is faith. I have one choice: to believe in God’s love, or not. I cannot predict what He will do. I cannot dictate His will. I cannot manipulate Him.

We will not do any more treatment for Simon. As soon as we are cleared to leave the hospital, we will go and never come back. Whether he is healed or not, we will put in God’s hands. I’m not going to subject him to round after round of experimental treatments until he is too weak to continue and the doctors send him home to die.

No, we will leave the hospital and make the most of the time we have. If it is a year, we will enjoy a year. If it is a decade, we will enjoy a decade. If it is a lifetime, we will enjoy a lifetime. But we are going to live every moment.

I’m thinking of an RV road trip across the US. If I can find a sponsor for such a project, it would be a great way to spend the next year—50 states in 50 weeks. I’ve already contacted Acellus to see if they would be interested, but I haven’t heard back yet. If that doesn’t pan out, we will plan to sell most of our stuff in Dongguan and move back into our Shenzhen apartment to minimize expenditures. We will be going from 300 square meters to 60, but those 60 are ours. I’m done with Dongguan.

Are Schools Losing Touch of Their Students’ Dreams?

Hi there, In, today’s podcast, Are Schools Losing Touch of Their Students’ Divine Purpose?, I invited my son, Cam, to share his thoughts on a statement he heard yesterday during his live lesson with his current educational program. Cam resonated with the concern that schools are losing touch with their student’s dreams. In this episode, Cam and I discussed his recent school experiences with…

I got bullied at school so badly that I had to go homeschooled. Then I got kicked out of that homeschool thing (K12) I'm currently in Acellus. My mum pays 80 bucks a month for me. My sister also does it. My sister won't do her work and now my mum is paying for something my sister isn't doing. I have all A's and my sister is failing. Getting called ugly and fat at school hurts. Getting beat up by your sister hurts. Crying every night because you have to get off your phone with your best friend because she is the only one who knows you better than anyone. Your parents getting a divorce hurts badly. Waking up to your parents fighting everyday and crying because you hate the yelling hurts. Do you know what else hurts. Fake friends. Fake people in general. You would comment on your best friend's post and be joking and one person you don't even know would respond to your comment saying that it was rude to say that or you can't say that to people. Having to hug your pillow at night just to fall asleep. Liking kpop isn't a bad thing. People are humans too you know. Not everyone is bad, but not everyone is good.

Thank you for reading this. We need more people like you reading other people's stories.

Love-

Weird question, but do you go to school? I always see your posts during school and they always seem to be set by home. Are you homeschooled or something? Just asking.

Im homeschooled!( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ ) I do acellus specifically, which is a homeschool you don’t do zoom calls on. You just watch a video giving a good explanation on 1 topic and then answer some questions about it, it’s very fast paced so it doesn’t take long.

That’s how I keep motivation, when I went to public school it did not work for me

#op are you by chance the one who did numerous cyclotron tests and said fuck this (via @tales-from-the-acellus-archives)

No, actually I'm the one who did fieldwork catching squirrels and identifying various aquatic invertebrates in the lab and eventually hit college physics and said fuck this.

Now I'm on track to become a mad historian of science, studying monsters in early natural history texts. You know how it is.

One hill I will die on is that it's always infinitely funnier for mad scientist characters to have an actual area of expertise, and the narrower it is, the funnier it gets. Like, they're mad scientists. They can branch out from it. But it's a very special thing to be able to point to the person who built a death ray/engineered life in their basement/etc and be able to confidently state what they got their PhD in.

"Doc Brown is a mad scientist" Well yeah, obviously.

"Doc Brown is a mad physicist" Now we're getting somewhere!

"Doc Brown is a mad nuclear physicist" Specifically conjures up images of a guy who spent his PhD doing a million repetitive cyclotron tests and eventually said fuck this, I'm building a time machine instead. Comedy gold.

09: TP-CASTT

Task: Write a TP CASTT analysis of the poem “Riposte” by William Carlos Williams.

Essay:

This is a fifty-two word poem; I am expected to write three hundred; you expect me to take something as emotionally dry as "Riposte" by William Carlos Williams, and multiply the word count by six? There is not even a hint of substance in his work, simply the celebration of love and tranquility. This is an overdone trope that has plagued the poetry sphere since it began. No emotional connection, just stating what is obvious: that love is something to be cherished and locked away due to its healing power. This poem does not evoke emotion, not even negative emotion, just a mirrored sadness that radiates from the poem. After dissecting the piece into oblivion, I have concluded that there are no notable literary devices, aside from ridiculous spacing choices that show nothing about the author's intention, along with the blandest and most plain wording. The largest word he uses in this spacious work is "townspeople," you're kidding me. I am simply appalled at how dry and shallow the writing is, there's nothing! Not to mention the fact that the premise has been stated so many times throughout history, that the theme of love detracts from the poem. A much better work of literature is Schooner Fare's "We the People," which voices the citizens of America to stand up through love for their country against tyrannical leaders, a sentiment that rings true over 30 years later. That song, which when read, not even heard, invokes more emotion and has a stronger message than the one William Williams wrote. Even the artist's name is dumb, William Williams, how stupid can you be when naming a child? I hate this guy, his poem about love and prosperity has fueled nothing but anger and malice from me. Let this be a lesson for all those who write, make something that is useful.

target word count: 300

Final word count: 309

Day 20

Today was a bit on the grumpy side for me.  The boys were a little scattered this morning, and I had to keep after them.  I think I was feeling a bit stressed as well; I was contacting research advisors about the prospect of getting my PhD—always a bit stressful.  I’m currently eyeing Bond University in Australia.  Now that we are homeschooling, we really have no limitations on where we go.  

We’ll be taking an exploratory trip to the Philippines once my wife finishes her certification exam.  I’m going to start researching Butuan City and see what comes up.  Worst case scenario, we get to spend two weeks at the beach with nurturing, spiritually mature friends before coming back into our decision-making process.

In other news, I started my first photo promotion today.  I’m hoping it increases the traffic to my site and generates a bit of income.  We’ve been waiting for a clear day to film our science experiment, but we haven’t had one for about a week.  I think we’ll just have to go with murky skies.  The lighting will be even at least.  

The boys just finished Acellus for the day.  Time to prep for lunch.

Not to get in the way of a black and white opinion but:

Home school in America often is used for indoctrination. It’s also used for kids that 1. it would be Unsafe to go to school. 2. Live in an area with absolute Shit shitty schools.

(Think- it’s over an hour away, it’s so So religious, it’s falling apart at the seems. it’s full of bullies, it’s full of ALLERGENS. It’s not actually disabled friendly. It’s in the Middle of Covid)

I was homeschooled in America. why? The schools around were southern and they sucked.

The kid across the street from my house was home schooled in America. Why? Because school taught him organisms evolved to be like this and his mom couldn’t handle it.

(The irony that the schools were too religious for me but not religious enough for them is not lost on me)

The WORST part of all of this, is that ‘good’ homeschoolers will stand by Bad homeschoolers to Keep The Right To Homeschool.* Because anything else isn’t an Option.

(The BEST part about this is that there ARE good home schooling resources out there:

Personally; Acellus was great, Calvert was Pretty good but it went through some changes. And I can’t recommend Khan Academy enough.)

My point is: we need Regulations on homeschooling. Not a full stop. (Regulations IMMEDIATELY including; can’t homeschool if there’s Any history or report of domestic abuse.)

*not my family to be clear! That is information from a John Oliver video NOT personal.

Anyway enough lame gifted kid discourse we are in our 20s. Let's talk about how homeschooling in america should be fucking illegal it's insane lol
