9 out of 10 parents also think "computer science" means being able to fix your WiFi when it's broken.
Yeah, but they didn't fucking write them.
Yeah, and the quality is noticeably shitty. It's like saying, "Hey, you can drive on the highway at 60 miles per hour for twenty minutes, right? Then you totally have a realistic shot at winning the Indy 500."
Wtf? Unless you're coding, you don't need coding skills.

The three-year initiative, called "Computer Science for All," would provide states with money to train teachers, equip classrooms and develop new classroom materials. It's part of the president's 2017 budget and would need approval of the Republican-led Congress.
"In the new economy, computer science isn't an optional skill -- it's a basic skill, right along with the three Rs," Obama said as he announced the plan in his weekly radio address. "9 out of 10 parents want it taught at their children's schools."

Today's auto mechanics aren't just sliding under cars to change the oil; they're working on machines that run on as many as 100 million lines of code.
Yeah, but they didn't fucking write them.
Machinists are writing computer programs

Being prepared for jobs of the future isn't just about working with computers, Obama added, but also developing analytical and coding skills to power "our innovation economy."

1. I doubt cars are running "100 million lines of code."
2. My kid's school has one entire class of kids who are doing nothing but work on Chromebooks as some sort of pilot program... this means no papers going home, no homework worksheets, etc. I know one of the parents of these kids, she says her class seems to be way behind the other classes in the same grade. She isn't pleased. So yeah, let's throw more tech at the grade schools. The problem is that they just don't have enough yet.

The avionics system in the F-22 Raptor, the current U.S. Air Force frontline jet fighter, consists of about 1.7 million lines of software code. The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, scheduled to become operational in 2010, will require about 5.7 million lines of code to operate its onboard systems. And Boeing’s new 787 Dreamliner, scheduled to be delivered to customers in 2010, requires about 6.5 million lines of software code to operate its avionics and onboard support systems.
These are impressive amounts of software, yet if you bought a premium-class automobile recently, ”it probably contains close to 100 million lines of software code,” says Manfred Broy, a professor of informatics at Technical University, Munich, and a leading expert on software in cars. All that software executes on 70 to 100 microprocessor-based electronic control units (ECUs) networked throughout the body of your car.
That article is seven years old.

My oldest is in 5th grade and has a Chromebook. All her work is done through it, and while it's nice an unforeseen or unintended side effect is that her teacher sits quietly while the students are basically self-teaching.
It sucks.

From the half that does...Malcolm wrote:Over half of Americans don't give a fuck about Obamacare.
The promise of the Affordable Care Act for hospitals was that bad debt—a figure that reflects bills a hospital can't collect—would shrink substantially under the law's coverage expansions. The reality, so far, is less uniformly dramatic, even though 20 million fewer Americans are uninsured. Even in states that agreed to expand Medicaid, the popularity of high-deductible plans in those insurance exchanges has added to hospitals' mounting concerns over how patients can pay those bills, if at all.
In Wyoming and other states that did not expand Medicaid, hospitals are seeing little relief from patients who can't pay their bills or need financial aid.
“It's not improving for us here,” Huber said. Campbell County Health's bad debt increased 42% between 2013 and 2015.

I don't care what excuse a left leaning site gives him. End of the day, he's skipping the funeral of a name in politics. He's skipping the funeral of someone he met and knew.
He's doing so to attend a film festival filled with elitists.
If it was Hillary's funeral, he'd be there and he legit can't stand her.

Pretty much a manufactured controversy. Outrage over something that seems to be tradition. Presidents haven't been going to first lady funerals since at least Reagan or something. Mrs. Obama attending.
People that are so upset about it should explain why they aren't going, too.

I didn't know her personally, for one thing, and I don't think I'd be allowed in even if I did.
What it pretty much comes down to , to me, is the guy never misses a chance to show how little class he has. As Leisher said, he doesn't have a good excuse for missing it.

Like Rhianna's panties, you need to be invited.
And I just add it to a massive list of shitty things he's done as president.
