http://www.dailynews.com/social-affairs/20150816/report-no-relationship-between-teacher-pay-student-results A new report looking at the salaries of the 75 largest school districts in California alleges there is no correlation between teacher compensation and higher student test scores. |

Perhaps a model should be developed that I am sure over time will have a high correlation significance, This should include: Salary Incoming student IQ and aptitude score Two parent home? Parental Income Parental education level. I think that it's time that we put more emphasis on the "Quality" of the student rather than totally on the teacher. Over a period of time higher salaries will attract better people and those willing to work in the inner city schools where there is little to no discipline possible. |

.. I have said before that in the UK we are reaching the stage where the average parent is not fit to breed. ...and now you are coming out as a supporter of eugenics. Are you really so surprised that people find your posts offensive? Reality Internet Personality |

No, only you. But these days you find anything offensive that you just don't happen to agree with. Lots of people find Eugenics offensive, Chris. Reality Internet Personality |

No, only you. But these days you find anything offensive that you just don't happen to agree with. Not exactly a denial of support for eugenics. Not sure what purpose the link was meant to serve, wouldn't this be more appropriate, given your nationality? I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ... |

No, only you. But these days you find anything offensive that you just don't happen to agree with. Does that include troglodytes? Klan members? ISIL? Excellent company to keep, Chris. |

I have said before that in the UK we are reaching the stage where the average parent is not fit to breed. Please define this "average parent" that is not fit to breed, and the parameters within which you place them. I would like to know if I need to add your name to my signature. We have nothing to fear but fear itself. Apart from pain. And maybe humiliation. And obviously death. And failure. But apart from fear, pain and humiliation, failure and the unknown and death - we have nothing to fear. Who’s with me? |

I've already told my parents that they'll have to look to my sister for grandchildren.I have said before that in the UK we are reaching the stage where the average parent is not fit to breed. There's a little sample quiz here, i got 20/20, they're not difficult questions.When you look at why we have to have "Citizenship" classes", "Life Skills" coaches etc etc it does make me question how long it will be before it happens for real. Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge. |

16/20 for me :-( So did I:) Without using Googles. I liked the question Who defeated the Vikings? It must be important to know that if you are British citizen. And How many members does a jury have in England, Wales and Northern Ireland? I thought that Scotland is a part of the UK:) The Iranian Association in Hammersmith has the UK's seventh highest pass rate, at 84.1%. |

16/20 for me :-( Oh yes, vital! Hardly a day goes by when i don't need that piece of information. And It is, however it has a separate (though very similar) legal system known as Scots Law. One of the differences is that Scottish juries have 15 members. Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge. |

And I have been to Chichester England and visited a court trial. In that case I dont think there was any jury. Anyway. I think most people in the world dont know how law enforcement works. I dont know my country law enforcement and legal procedures. Having a question like that to test immigrants is very silly. |

UK students excluded from medical degree course Wonder how long this has been going on? No wonder the NHS is in trouble! |

UK students excluded from medical degree course Having been in conversation down at the Waddington Arms, with a group that included a staff member from the University, he informed us that they would welcome funding from the government and teach British students. But that route is barred and so to keep the Medical department going, they offer this course to foreign students, which brings in funds that keep the dept going until such time as the government see sense. |

No, only you. But these days you find anything offensive that you just don't happen to agree with. Because that's not what Chris argued, he said "[...] we are reaching the stage where the average parent is not fit to breed", which could easily be interpreted as a statement of support for eugenics, an interpretation that Chris has not disavowed. I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ... |

No, only you. But these days you find anything offensive that you just don't happen to agree with. What I believe is not material. If you want to know whether Chris is a progressive, ask him. I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ... |

Only half of Swedes correctly answer basic financial questions and simple calculations, according to a survey. Try it yourself and see how many questions you can handle! https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=sv&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=sv&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dn.se%2Fekonomi%2Ffragesport%2Fklarar-du-fis-raknefragor%2F&edit-text= |
