Portugal is always behind 10 to 30 years. Give it some time and we might see some fires /s

I’ve been here for almost two years and don’t think I can go back to anything else. I like the freedom of information that this idea brought to us.

not quite, Americans are Europeans as well… Just ancient.

I can’t even see comments on this one :/

yes

I didn’t know you had a worst educational system that you have. I just knew the individuals.

You’re welcome! And thank you for enlightening me about the education system in the US; I really appreciate it! I wish both of you all the best. Take care as well!

Don’t apologize for something you didn’t do. I haven’t experienced any bad things from North American citizens yet, and I don’t believe your leaders can cause enough damage that we can’t recover from. Just stay strong and focus on improving things for your community, with education and health being the pillars of a strong one. 💪

they can make changes to their curriculum, but if they can’t pass the standardized tests, they risk losing funding (or having the feds come in to run the school). so, most teach largely to the lowest common denominator.

Yup pretty bad. Once again, this explains my reasoning in the OP.

Thank you!

Okay, so does that mean each state can make changes to the curriculum? That doesn’t sound that bad to me… you’re essentially like a continent, and amendments to the curriculum could bring some benefits. But I guess the base standards still apply. The one thing I’d caution against, though, is the downgrading of problem-solving skills.

No, I thought basic education was covered by federal taxes. You’re telling me it’s funded at the county level?? WTF?! Why?

I didn’t know that, and it makes a lot of sense. If true, your input on this aggravates the scenario even more. Thank you for sharing!

Unpopular opinion: The USA reached this state due to a lack of affordable, quality education.

I’m open to contradiction.

oh, right. My bad!

waze was acquired by Google in 2013

These kind of organizations make sense for apartment buildings, where you need to organize the upkeep of the overall building

Yeah this makes sense, but, in my country, this only applies to common areas of the building, and there’s civil law around what can/can not be agreed in assembly.

Are those HOS an assembly with equal voting rights? Or is there weight on shareholders votes based on amount of squares owned? Or something else completely? I’m genuinely interested if you can enlighten me. Or I can research it when I get more time.

Is this true? You can’t grow vegetables in your backyard? Why tho? If true it sounds dumb to me.

No worries at all! We Portuguese have a saying: better late than never.

Abraço

My thoughts exactly! After that it was like a domino effect… I realized that probably everything this guy ever said and done was pure BS. Fake it until you make it.

thank you!
