Every student who is a citizen of the United States should be taking AP US History ( APUSH).

Just to learn in depth about the

US Constitution and the important Supreme Court cases that have defined our country for starters.

Sounds like AP Government, not APUSH.

Some private schools have a dress code, but more importantly, they have a code of conduct.
You don't behave, you don't maintain a certain average, you are disrespectful, you are out.
No contract for the next year.
The private schools are not beholden to the student and the family, you are beholden to them.
And the girls won't have time to be mean to each other, they are too busy studying.

A truly bizarre way to summarize the difference between private and public schools. News flash: One of the biggest problems with public schools is that they are not beholden to the student and the family. They are a government near-monopoly. Don't like what they are doing? Tough luck. Don't like the peer pressure at the school? If it is not something illegal, tough luck.

Private schools, on the other hand, have paying customers. The fact that they are willing to cut loose a troublemaker is because the paying customers who want that kid expelled vastly outnumber the lone paying customer who does not want that kid expelled.

Stuyvesant 1400. Laurel Springs does not say what its average SAT is except to say it is over the national average. That is consistent with the 1065, which is over the national average.

A few questions:

1. Does Stuyvesant have entrance requirements? Do they have a cross-section of students, who would otherwise have scores at the national average, but by the time they are finished at Stuyvesant their education has stimulated them to have scores of 1400? Or do they have admissions requirements that guarantee that they will score well above the national average, precisely because they are not a cross section of the student population?

2. Do you know what the SAT measures, and how much it is influenced by high school education and how much it is independent of high school education?

If 4(x+y) (x-y) = 40 and x-y=20, what is the value of x+y?

I don't know, but Deiton emailed me the answer "0.5" and asked you to check it out.

A small company has some free movie tickets to distribute to its employees. If each employee gets 5 tickets, there will be 15 left over. If 5 employees will receive 7 tickets, and none will be left over. How many tickets does the company have?

Whew dude that one was rough, can you get the big Deit to help me.

Deiton emailed me that this second problem is an ill-formed problem with no solution.

Correct on both counts. The second problem presents an impossible situation.

Now that we have the answer to those problems how in life do either problems help 99% of the US population ?

Really would like a detailed answe thanx will be waiting .

Please note I answered the problems first and then Clark copied from my paper, the little cheat

Ah, the old "how am I ever going to use this in real life" question. You see, learning complex math concepts isn't just meant to be used practically, although plenty of people do (without engineers life would be quite a bit different for all of us) but it's "learning to help us learn".

An analogy that hits home: why teach a tennis player boxing? You're trying to develop certain attributes that will be applicable to tennis, right? Same with complex math, physics, science, literature, etc, but instead of developing your body, your developing your brain. You apply that problem solving ability and knowledge to other areas. People are always looking for a direct practical use for everything. It's like cross-training for our brains. We don't just learn one thing, we learn many.
