    True, the government is trying to allow them to exercise their right to an education by banning peanut products in school. It's the other parents who are whining about their kids being inconvenienced who would like to take away those kids right to an education. No they don't, not if reasonable precautions are taking. Those reasonable precautions are what everybody seems to be getting bent out of shape about. If you believe that, then you haven't been paying attention. The kids with allergies are able to make it to school, participate normally, etc. They simply need one small, reasonable precaution taken to avoid a preventable, potentially life-threatening situation. That's nothing like a bed-ridden student that cannot attend school. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

    I disagree, as would most people with experience with pit bulls. If you are looking for an innately aggressive dog, check out Jack Russell Terriers. The challenge of ownership with them is to train them to be nice. Pit Bulls are innately gentle dogs; they just have great strength and size, making them appealing to assholes that want to train their dogs to be mean and aggressive. Math tutoring available.

    It's not an election. I can find where the kids have a right to an education. Where are kids guaranteed the right to eat peanuts in school? Is there a Jif v. Board of Education ruling that I'm aware of? As far as I can tell, there is no right to eat peanut products at school. To quote a (usually) wise SC poster, "let's see some common sense!"

    So, are you saying it is wrong to expect the children with allergies to give up their right to a public education, or were you trying for a 10/10 irony score? Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

    That's a distinction for the courts to make, not me. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

    Notice the "on equal terms" part. That means they do have a legal responsibility to offer education to everyone and thereby could not deny entry to the students. However, that offer only has to be on equal terms, there is no mandate that they accommodate to anyone's special needs. Right. Which means that all kids are equally entitled to a safe learning environment. Thanks for supporting my point.

    Why?? For the life of me, I just do not understand people who own dogs that they know are dangerous. I've been around a fair number of pit bulls. They are very docile, gentle dogs by nature. They have to be trained to be mean, unless they are trying to protect their owners, in which case, most any dog can be mean. I guess that would imply that people who own dangerous dogs are typically people who have trained their dogs to be dangerous (or failed to train their dogs at all). Or people who have rescued dogs from such people. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

    So to celebrate this you want to put an individual above a bunch of individuals? Banning peanut products hardly raises one individual above others. The schools reaction has been blown WAY out of proportion. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  10. jcd11235
    Right. Because building and operating a new peanut free school would be so much cheaper. Apparently you missed the part about the school's legal obligations to provide a safe learning environment. The school was placed between a rock and a hard place, due to circumstances beyond anyones (reasonable) control. They chose the lesser of evil options. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour!

    The parents do obviously take responsibility. The kids haven't died from their allergies yet. It's not necessarily as easy as having the kids sit separately in the lunchroom. (The severity of the allergy has not been mentioned, so I'm assuming that at least one kid has a very severe version.) Like I said, the proposed solution sounds a ot easier on taxpayers than their own new school so everyone else can continue eating peanuts at the old one. The kids have a right to a safe environment to learn in. The school has a responsibility to provide that safe environment. Yeah, it sucks, but the other kids and their parents need to SIUCC and recognize that we don't live in a communist society, we live in a society that prides itself on individual rights.

    Velocity is distance & time. No. Velocity is speed (magnitude) and direction. Velocity is a vector. Yes, a change in direction is acceleration. A change in speed is also acceleration. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

    They are entitled to a safe environment in which to learn. I like PB&J sandwiches, but I'm not so heartless and void of compassion that I would risk the lives of others just so I can eat them for lunch. Refraining from eating peanut products is a small price to pay in order to offer a student a safe environment to learn. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

    True, but not as integral as bees. Nonetheless, I suspect most schools frown on students bringing bees to school. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

    Bees are an integral part of our ecosystem. What integral role do peanut products play in the education system? Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

    It's the price we pay for the right to a public education for everybody. Banning peanut products in school seems to be the most fiscally responsible means of maintaining that right. The kids with the peanut allergies are entitled to the same education opportunities as the kids without peanut allergies, right? Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

    Would you prefer that they built a new school just for those three kids so that your kids can continue to enjoy their PB&J sandwiches? Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

    I'm equating al Qaeda to al Qaeda (al Qaeda == al Qaeda) and the mujahideen to jihadists (mujahideen == jihadists). Which, of course means one man's (Reagan's) freedom fighter is another man's (Bush II's) terrorist. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  22. jcd11235
    Let's not forget how the US supported the mujahideen in Afghanistan (including al Qaeda) as "freedom fighters" under Reagan and Bush I. The distinction between "freedom fighters" and "terrorists" often has more to do with political expedience than with any substantive difference. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour!

    Nice misdirect. Never mind that I didn't comment about your Physics example. And yes, I am well aware that velocity has a speed and direction component. Thanks for the review of high school Physics. Now, would you care to respond to my comment on your lack of understanding of the deficit and debt? You might try doing some research to see the size of the surplus and where the money from the surplus went before making such foolish statements. (Hint: Debt interest is a non-discretionary expenditure.) Perhaps a maths class might be in order while you're at it. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

    Not quite. For example, Clinton showed a budget surplus (aka negative deficit) for the last three years of his administration. However, the debt still increased. Using your definition, a negative derivative of the function caused positive growth of the function. I would recommend obtaining a better grasp of the application of mathematics than you have demonstrated in this thread before registering to sit for any of those examinations.
