Public Education is horrid, I can fairly attest.

Math standards are also all over the place. People going into college should pass a test on at LEAST:

Arithmetic
Algebra
Geometry
Trigonometry(spx.x)

At MINIMUM. And make the tests at least half-way thought inducing!

Anyway, since I'm hounding this topic, any other behavioural ideas?

1 last notation: In a few days, i'll start bouncing ideas of possible fixes for school systems, to see the possible legitimancy for them.

Thank yeh,

The problem is that they never appear to be smart if they can't communicate. You could be as smart as Tesla over in Russia but if you mixed acid with sodium cyanide and killed everybody in the lab, you're not smarter than the dumbest person alive before you.

Are you paranoid about dieing in the lab?

If not, you certainly sound VERY PARANOID!

Who wouldn't be paranoid about dying in the lab. Cyanide is a colorless gas that acts like the supercharged version of carbon monoxide. Kill you real quick

Last week the foreigner from china completely destroyed a Thermal Conductivity Detector (TCD) in one of the Gas Chromatographs (GC) because she turned off the carrier gas before turning off the detector. It may have been a simple mistake, but I think it has more to do with her not understanding English. If I'm not able to explain anything to her, what chance does the instructor have? I really hope that $2000 piece of equipment goes on her tab.
