Surely they can't do that? Surely?
Please tell me it's against the Constitution in some way.

I mean, it goes against the entire gist of what a federalist system means. I can go get high in Colorado and there’s nothing South Carolina can do about it. I really don’t see how they’d expect to enforce that bill if it actually became law.Surely they can't do that? Surely?

Not sure about that…
Yeah, i tead that the actor christopher lee saw it somewhere. CrazyIt was last used in France in 1977, so more recently than the firing squad (except Utah, which used it once in 1996) in the states!
This isn’t even Missouri or Texas…

Current trend in US schooling. Love the answer…
I stand corrected.I’m gonna make a hot take against this one.
When examining imperialism, you examine the positive impacts the practice had on the countries that practiced it. It is even in the AP curriculum, so you might want to learn that half of the equation.

I want to point out, by the way, that I wasn’t saying that you should learn the other side of the equation. I was referencing the student in the tweet’s photo.I stand corrected.
I can’t really tell anything about the lesson from the context of that student response. For all we know, the teacher did present imperialism as something that hurt the imperialized for the benefit of the imperialists. All I can see is a very standard worksheet has been given to students and this particular student felt compelled not to give a direct answer to one of the prompts.It all is around how the exercise was framed, right? Based on only what the kid wrote it would appear this exercise was not given proper context or instruction.
Knew it, but thanks!I want to point out, by the way, that I wasn’t saying that you should learn the other side of the equation. I was referencing the student in the tweet’s photo.

To be clear… there are positives and negatives to imperialism. Ignoring the fact that positives existed would be lazy. Positives had to exist for the practitioners, otherwise they wouldn’t have done it.Sure, but even the language used for the prompt is an issue in my mind. It denotes that the concept of imperialism itself has positive (and negative) sides to it. As practiced by humans there is nothing "positive" about imperialism. Sure, a very select few on one side gain enormous benefits, but I do not see that as a positive. Dividing the sheet into Positive/Negative is lazy and automatically presupposes that there must be a positive side.

And there’s nothing really wrong with the prompt. Especially if it is a worksheet prepping for the AP Exam. FRQ and SAQ prompts are concisely worded and you could very well see a question asking something like…
“Define imperialism and provide one positive impact and one negative impact of its practice.”
Looking at it in its totality is what requires you to examine the positives and negatives of its practice.Sure, if you look at imperialism as a one sided coin there are positives for a minority on one side (like I said). However, if you are looking at imperialism in its totality would you say there are positives regarding the concept of imperialism as practiced?
Exactly. Which… happens sometimes.She's just ranting, really. Looking at her sister's answers it seems pretty fecking clear that no one was being force fed any kind of content that could be considered indoctrination.
This is the equivalent of getting assigned to be pro-creationism in a pro-con debate and having your only argument be "well I don't believe in creationism!". You'd rightly fail the assignment.
Christ.A student was shot and killed by another student in a middle school in my district this afternoon. fecking hell man

1) what the hell ABC get it togetherNaturally, ABC News had this story fall behind the update on the Will Smith (in the back 1/3 of the program). Pathetic.
Whole thread is basically spot on.At the same time that fetuses are pulled from coolers in an anti-abortionists house. Can’t make this shit up
