Only a simpleton like you could say that, reading about a subject in no way compares to having actual experience. If so, then anyone could read about a subject and automatically be able to perform and excel in that subject or field immediately. It doesn't happen, reading can prepare you but cannot teach you the skills needed to perform in a subject or field. One look at you is all it takes, right? Coach? Wait, head coach.
The TNG Technical Manual makes me 100% qualified to operate a transporter. Don't be a pussy, let me diddle around with your quarks.
@Dayton3, are you maybe regretting this post? Or are you still wondering why we aren't too impressed by your report card?
Not really. Nothing I could say would ever impress you and others here. You will always find flaws in any achievement I made or any accomplishment.
Yeah, but now we know that you got a C-, so every time you bring up the Praxis as evidence of your abilities, somebody will remind you that you barely passed.
Not because you can't spell or use proper punctuation or because you make claims you can't support with evidence, but because you're just an innocent victim . Or is it because you're a Christian martyr? It's so hard to keep track...
That's a self-pitying lie, and some buried down part of you has to know it. If you got an A, or a trophy, or best of all, stopped being an arrogant un-Chrislike shit to people, you would get a from me. I'd be the first in line.
gul the Praxis exams are a straight up "passed or "not passed" exam. It makes no difference whether you "barely passed" or "passed by a huge margin". While you like to say this "C- " bull that is in no way recognized in the Praxis testing series. On the other hand, they do send certificates of excellence out for extremely high scores (I have two of them). I can remember when I used to mention my Praxis II score in content knowledge and people here belittled any kind of achievement in testing.
If it's pass/fail, then it's pretty meaningless for you to claim that your score means anything about your quality as a teacher. Your pass result means that you are adequate, it says nothing more unless you look at the raw data.
We'd have to either directly observe you in the classroom or receive documentation from your administrators to that effect. And as you still haven't followed up on Post #108, we can assume that your word about your professional capabilities is as reliable as anything else you've ever posted...which is to say "not at all." ETA: Going out to dinner right now. Guarantee there won't be an answer to this before I get back.
Why would anybody concede that? We know from public documents that observation of your teaching by professional educators rated you sub-standard. Your barely passing result on Praxis is just one more piece of evidence.
And that's the clincher right there, pass/fail means that you either qualified or didn't qualify and that someone with a perfect score has the same status as someone who barely squeaked by. But would you want someone who barely qualified or someone who excelled to perform a certain job or to be entrusted to carry out specific duties. With Dayton, he barely passed some parts of the Praxis, but adding his near termination over incompetence which he narrowly avoided on a technicality. Once you add in his attitude about it, demonstrates that his analytical capabilities are sub-par. When you are an educator, knowing the facts may be the minimum qualifications needed, but the ability to analyze and explain the hows and whys are more important. If you cannot explain those, then the facts from history are nothing more than trivia fodder. And has anyone taken a closer look at his score in physical education content knowledge? He barely passed that one as well, he scored a 147 with the minimum score of 141 needed to pass. On a scale where 200 is perfect, that is a C- once again. Yet he wants and thinks he is head coach material?
Oh, when it comes to military stuff my "book learning" far surpasses yours. 40 years' worth, and growing.
One hundred questions on the Praxis II for physical education. IIRC there were something like four related to American rules football. The majority were about sports or issues I've had no knowledge of or experience with in my life.
