I stopped reading after this. He's clearly insane.

a_skeleton_03, tone it down a notch. Nobody is defending teachers who molest students. Yes, there are less priests than teachers, but it seems likely that a higher percentage of priests molest children than do teachers. I agree with Arbitrary. This is not a worthwhile conversation to have.

Steve Buscemi in 6th grade:

I'm not your cardboard cutout for you to project whatever mockable behavior you choose onto. I have never crusaded against fat shaming. I've never even mentioned fat shaming. Go fuck yourself for putting words in my mouth. I have thick enough skin. I know I subject myself to ridicule just for...

Or for this:

1) I actually agree that it would be more practical to learn a more commonly used language, but as long as that is addressed in future courses I don't see any real harm in beginning to learn about programming in a less popular language. There are advantages to learning the differences between...

I didn't say anything about money. I said they wanted more people in Computer Science and specifically decided to target women. I did not make any assumptions about their motivation. It's an intro level course. There's nothing wrong with learning an easier language, then taking what you've...

It's like you look for reasons to be outraged. Let me get this straight: because YOU think there was no problem to begin with, you think the whole experiment was pointless and anyone who sees otherwise has a "warped fucking view of the world". That's quite the ego you've got. Here's what...

No, nobody was throwing actual rocks at anybody. But clearly, what this experiment showed was that certain people didn't feel welcome to the program or simply weren't interested. Through a few reasonable changes, all of a sudden these same people felt welcome and developed an interest where...

So, if you getmore peoplein tech (regardless of race or gender), by default you'll be getting more smart people, right? I mean, it's not like we have any reason to believe anybody that would otherwise have been interested in the program suddenly wouldn't be because of the changes made. The...

Or, it could just be a reminder to teachers to do their jobs properly. It is far from a career where people don't get lazy and take the path of least resistance. Taking aside a showoff and giving him/her a reassuring speech meant to reduce their dominating of class time is significantly more...

All the more reason why they should tone down the "I know! I know!" while still in school. You have a great grasp of the subject? Fantastic! Stick with it and you are all but assured success. Since the point of this class is toteachthings to people who don't necessarily grasp it quite as well as...

I never defended that. I agree that it's ridiculous to apparently only let female professors take students to the conference. It's not that thin a line. Students who already know a lot about the subject and are more than willing to display this knowledge every chance they get are pretty easy to...

Different students have different needs and learn in different ways. There is no "one size fits all" for teaching, even though it seems that way since teachers can't possibly give each individual student personalized lessons. However, one step in the right direction is to group students...

All. The. Time.

Hmmm. I must have missed the part in the article where anyone was punished for anything, let alone overachievers. Can you show me where you found that? Also, what "lies" were being told? It was never implied that "making video games" was the primary reason to learn programming, but even if it...

Interesting read, and also supportive of the idea that the environment is stronger than any supposed biological inclinations. Thanks for that.
