China teleports an electron 300 miles away using quantum entanglement. How is this possible? I thought nothing could travel faster than light.
“Quantum teleportation” is not what you think. You’re imagining an electron disappearing from here and reappearing over there, like Captain Kirk beaming down to a planet. Nope. “Quantum teleportation” is a groovy, pop-media-friendly name for something far more boring: copying the quantum state (spin and so on) from one particle to another. You read the state of an electron here, transmit that information over there, and copy that information onto an electron that is already over there. The electron you copy from? It doesn’t go anywhere. The information about its state? It doesn’t get broadcast faster than light. Sorry. Franklin Veaux, Quora

“The Attorney General is talking in circles,” said Greg Burt, Vice President of the California Family Council. “Bonta [CA Attorney General] and Tony Thurmond [CA State Superintendent of Public Instruction], representing the Department of Education, have been suing and intimidating school districts across California for adopting parent notification policies, claiming these violate state law. If that’s true, then how can their attorneys [representing the state] say the state’s secrecy policy was simply a suggestion, not an enforceable law?”
https://www.californiafamily.org/2024/05/ca-ags-attorney-says-states-gender-secrecy-policy-not-enforceable-only-guidance/ Parent notification refers to California’s secrecy policy compelling teachers to deceive parents about a student’s "gender dysphoria". The dinosaurs, on the other hand, are not an illusion, and teaching students about authentic history and settled science, even speculative science if so designated, is a good. NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD) organizes its work into five broad scientific pursuits: Earth Science, Planetary Science, Heliophysics, Astrophysics, and Biological and Physical Sciences.
No mention of aliens.
In science, it is smarter to ignore the unqualified or conspiracy theorists. In religion, it is smarter to ignore prophecies. Stay grounded. The parallel between the ballet boy and the altar boy is conspicuous. I swam and also played tennis in front of people. The more that a boy is in front of an audience or congregation, and feels good about himself, the more confidence he has. Our altar boy trainer says what a ballet master teacher explains. Stanley is positively heroic. The main reason I posted his video is so that you can see the percentages, which indicate acceptance rates. The lower, the harder. His SAT was 1550, 800 on math and 750 on English. BTW Stanford is looking for a 1500 min, and still he got rejected. Amazing extracurriculars, and waitlisted or rejected by many, Superhero Stanley. Safeties are colleges that accept most applicants. One of my best friends in high school had a 1350 on the SAT and got into Yale. Today Asian boys and white boys face apartheid, and that's a fact. One of my boys is white and math inclined, the other Asian and English inclined, and I'm going to work my ass off ever harder. Promise.

From Wyzant’s Dan Meyer Questions you’ll hear human tutors ask: · What have you tried so far? · Can I see your work? · What’s on your paper? · How far can you go here? · Where did you get stuck? · How did your teacher explain it in class? · What have you been up to since our last session? Questions you’ll see AI chatbot tutors ask: · Do you know the first step here? https://danmeyer.substack.com/p/five-differences-between-human-and For a student matriculating in a regular school, be sure to ask what grade he/she is getting. Know how it is calculated and discuss. Grades and tests are measurements of success. One of two students comes to me via Wyzant. Jonas Salk first tested his experimental killed-virus polio vaccine on himself and his family in 1953 and a year later on 1.6 million children in Canada, Finland, and the USA. The results were announced on April 12, 1955, and Salk's inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) was licensed on the same day. My family received the Sabin vaccine voluntarily in 1962 by letting a pink sugar cube dissolve in our mouths twice at a public high school in San Francisco. There were lists, but I do not recall penalties. Voluntariness is an American thing, or was. https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/polio-vaccine-trials-begin Adobe stock
Well, it's time to pull out my research on the renaming of San Francisco public schools. I wasn't going to publish it, but after reading the analysis rates at UC Berkeley, I decided you need to know. These changes occurred over time. The San Francisco Board of Education failed at changing names at another 44 schools, including Lowell (poet James Russell), Washington, Lincoln, and Jefferson. Here is the list (white is shorthand for European descent):
Some of these schools are poor-performing institutions making claims about how 'nurturing' they are. If test scores are below average, a school is only 'nurturing' fleas.
"According to data from the University of California released on March 13, Mission High School had an acceptance rate of 43% at the flagship UC campus, the highest of any high school surveyed and almost three times the state average of 15%. …"
"Though Mission High has traditionally lagged in state standardized testing results, it surpassed a wide range of high schools throughout the state in the acceptance rankings, including private schools and San Francisco’s highly competitive Lowell High, which requires placement testing for enrollment. …" … Mission HS Percentile Score on Smarter Balanced 8.1% Lowell HS Percentile Score on Smarter Balanced 99.1% … "During the Racial Reckoning, the politicians on the UC Board of Regents over-rode the findings of the expert commission of the faculty senate and banned even the option submission of test scores by high school students applying to UC campuses." … "The UC system overall saw an increase in California students and groups that are 'historically underrepresented in higher education,' such as African American, Latinx, Native American and Pacific Islander students, UC officials said in a Jan. 25 news release." https://www.unz.com/isteve/how-to-get-into-uc-berkeley-go-to-a-bad-high-school/ The title of the statistical analysis is "How to Get Into UC Berkeley? Go to a Bad High School" What is going on? Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). This policy defeats merit-based education and everything I have done in my tutoring career, which is to improve test scores. I hope that another analysis is done to show the success/failure rate of the students receiving preferential treatment. Note #1: Latinx is a noun or adjective relating to people of Latin American origin and is used as a gender-neutral or nonbinary alternative to Latino or Latina. Using it slaps a disgusting label on young people. Frankly, using any of these labels divides people and is un-catholic. Note #2: Equity means equity of outcomes. What it really means is, if you get a C, you deserve an A because your racial background disadvantaged you in a 'white' society. This is an insult to 'nonwhites'. Isaac Newton

This young lady timed her speech to the second and had great inflection, too. She identifies the whole problem with school boards, teacher unions, and many teachers: they don't give a shit about test scores, but universities do. I'm currently tutoring a boy for the SAT. Mr. Roberts is the school bully.
Some might not know, but as soon as you vlog the words climate change on YouTube, the algorithm automatically places an advisory on the video. A certain person says, thermometer. This 'somebody' knows all the algorithms. I think a lot of 'send your ship' is there.
Some of these leftists say ballet and being on time are examples of white racism. Well then, I am a racist. I like ballet, and as a tutor and substitute teacher I was late once, 15 minutes because I took a wrong turn. Tchaikovsky was to blame. If you are in art school for costume design, ballet is a good career choice.
Before I post something I check multiple sources, but in the end I use my own eyes and ears and a sense of truth to find the truth. One clue for me is the salaries of these news superstars. Another is the way news is given: if it is full of commentary, I tune it out.
I used to watch Tamron Hall on Investigation Discovery, a true crime show.
What you see are 10 PBVM teaching nuns at School of the Epiphany, San Francisco, early 1960s. Loved and respected at the time, they abandoned education, and there are none at the school today. A remnant is old and dying. Reform was a failure. Point proven. If you want to see the Mass in 1967, the first time I saw it, which many have never seen or do not recall, go here Interim Mass.
Intuitive Machines, aerospace company. Are you as surprised as I am by what has happened? I didn't know the company existed. Onboard payload includes a camera designed by students from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. One of my former students, Anthony, graduated with an M.S. in Safety Science from Embry. I messaged him today. Artists/industrial designers are needed in the aerospace industry, too. LUNR (NASDAQ) $9.59 +1.31 (+15.82%) About Anthony, we tutored him in high school English and math. I did the English part. He challenged us for three years. Just kidding. Look at what he accomplished!
The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel approved allowing women's volleyball players to contact the ball more than once with any part of the body in a single attempt on a team's second contact when the ball is played to a teammate. Confused? I was, so I asked a former student's mom to explain. When you contact the ball with your finger tips using both hands, both hands need to come in contact at the same time. If one hand (fingers) touches the ball first, before the other one, even for a split second, the ball spins in a way it wouldn't if it were a single contact. Like in basketball, once you pick up your dribble, you cannot dribble again and must pass the ball to a teammate. That rule was overturned, but it did not apply to a double contact on a block.

By Thomas Hobbes 1588-1679 In it he advocated for rule by an absolute sovereign. Excerpted from Wikipedia- … briefly worked as Francis Bacon’s amanuensis, translating several of his Essays into Latin, he did not extend his efforts into philosophy until after 1629. [I added amanuensis to Alexander’s vocabulary.] …
Discover the reasons for the Legion's success today and learn about their patron saints. Not interested in an establishment of religion, though in the broadest sense, an alignment of governance with Catholicism would be excellent. (There is only one caravan to Heaven.) Nevertheless, I am interested sure as hell in the free exercise thereof (St. Thomas More). All the narrator says applies to Catholic altar boys (7-18). Introduce girls, and boys leave. We have 104, one out of every 15 parishioners. Thank you very much. My sense of the present is that the average American does have the inner strength to resist oppression by a totalitarian state.
During summer, students tend to forget math and English lessons from the school year that just ended. A list of novels for summer is great, but math teachers are remiss for not assigning math problems. As an example, I would assign one Algebra I problem in the following areas for each week of summer:
(7) Real-world examples: a) how many cans can be picked up given the size of the can and the capacity of the garbage truck? b) how many stiches are needed for a patient whose appendix has been removed? (Show work using variables.) Adobe stock image
