Oh good, the weekly “Apple is the worst company in the world” post.

Lee.

Very red.

Well, minimum 2 months per employee plus the 4 weeks. Let’s figure an average salary of $80k. 6000 employees with an average tenure of 4 years. Let’s go ahead and round that to 3 months salary. So he’s paying the equivalent of 1500 employee’s average salary. That works out to about $120m.

I think my salary estimate is low there, and I have no idea what the tenure of the employees would be. Either way, not a small sum for a company that’s barely treading water.

There’s no motivation to do the work. Students that work hard get a diploma. Students that don’t do anything…still get a diploma.

We have students who can barely read and can’t do basic math, but they still get a diploma. Why do work for the same result?

This isn’t helped by the fact that in many school districts it isn’t possible to hold a child back. We literally have students entering high school that haven’t done anything since 3rd grade but have been advanced to the next grade anyways. Then we get surprised Pikachu face when they can’t do the things they need to graduate.

That actually ignores the whole “make up credit” classes where answers to every question are literally a google search away.

I literally had a student in one of my math classes who pasted a “couldn’t find results for…” as an answer to a homework question because they had mistyped the question.

I’m a teacher. This is very false. The issue is that being taught in schools and being learned in schools are completely different things. Between No Child Left Behind and IDEA, schools are being incentivized to graduate students regardless of the learning done in the school.

I know for a fact that these skills are taught in 6-8th grade social studies classes, as well as digital literacy classes. Hell, I teach 2 classes that are entirely based around critical thinking.

I remember having the light-measured-in-watts discussion years ago when LED lights were still considered a novelty. Of course, this was with a videographer who actually understood the issue. He complained that it wasn’t a good idea to limit car headlights based on their wattage, which is how all the laws at the time were written. 5 years later, suddenly there were LED headlights blinding everyone.

“Business insider”…yea. With quotes from the CEO about how unfair things are.

That Dragon, Cancer. Part game, part visual novel.

A 2 year old video ripping on Apple for something that literally every single platform does, but significantly more in-depth than simple certificate checking (which is all Apple is doing).

I believe in Reddit terms, we called this “karma-whoring”
