Yeah, all of the parents in my town are much too focused on trying to get books taken out of school libraries instead of getting their kids to stop doing drugs.

We have bi-weekly random drug testing here, and they nearly always catch people. When they are caught, they go to court under charges of drug use and usually get probation and weekly drug testing for a while. Usually 6 months to a year. Repeat offenders often get house arrest. Though personally, I don't think that the tests are helping much. The people at my school still do it and hope that they aren't chosen for the test, and if they're caught, they just suck it up and take their charge(s). Then when their probation is over they go right back to the drugs :| My town is small to medium sized, with some stuff to do, but it can get pretty boring.

Speaking of teaching, I'm still having issues with AP Statistics. I'm supposed to think one way and I actually think another and it's not working out so well for me. See, I need to explain less and be more vague, while at the same time precisely generalizing a term with multiple parts to it. Why, we're supposed to be saying "the correlation is rather high" as opposed to anything more concrete.

Does that bug anyone else, or do I need to start throwing my head at rocks to get it to think the "right" way?

I, personally, don't usually have any problem being non-definitive in my speaking, but I'm just a single data point and may in fact be a statistical error.

Horrible day at school today

Damn ingrown beard stubble is pissing me off. Maybe I should stop using a razor for shaving.

[Max White]

I use a razor, and that isn't a problem I have yet come across.
Protip: Buy ladies razors, they are designed to give a closer shave and most of them come with a moisturising strip things that leaves your face feeling soft and smooth. Shit is so cash.

[PyroDesu]

Dammit, I'm sick. And that would require me to be confined to my room when everybody in the house has already had it!

Internet not working properly, i bought it yesterday and all day it kept refusing to connect because for some reason i wasn't registered or something.Now it keeps giving me Error 628 which is apparently about being refused service by the remote computer, the helpline can't help me with that but the ones who sold it to me can, only their helpline number isn't working.

Beardiness is next to godliness.

That is a violation of the 4th amendment. I hate that kids are being trained to accept the yoke of the police state and violation of their own rights.

I'll be doing math for the next 12 hours.

Rage.  Mostly because this is math I really do not want to do, but which I need to study if I am going to be able to study algebra or topology, two topics that need far more attention than I have given them thus far.

Kids are property until they turn 18.


That said, I'm not quite sure it violates the 4th amendment. Someone more versed in law will probably be able to say for sure, but since the school informs kids that they're doing these searches ahead of time, they can no longer "expect privacy."

So adults brainwash them while they have the time to do it.

Even if that is the case, kids are their parents property, not the schools.

They are physically subjecting the student to search and seizing part of their body without a warrant or probably cause. Being informed that you will be searched does not remove your reasonable expectation of privacy. Your person, your body is always private. This is clearly and unquestionably a violation the 4th amendment.

$10,000 say it's a clause in the school's registration papers, and that most of the parents are in favor.
