You seem to always carry a bottomless well of youtube links.

if a picture paints a thousand words, how many does a video paint?

answer: fps x length of video in seconds x 1000 (assuming B, P frames have the same amount of info as I frames) - see how useful math is?


That video only painted four words, and one of them was a vulgarity.

why can't we have this in Schools in UK?? Then maybe kids will not turn out to be so F'ing dumb


 

I know what you mean. I came to UK at year 5, only to do topics through year 5 and 6 that I've already done 2-3 years before. Learning is undervalued amongst kids in the UK...and yet, considering the lack of space, and self-sustainability, UK's chance of betterment is with education, leading to research and development. I think chess can help solve this problem, but it will not solve it...all we can hope for is for it too develop skills.

I'm not all for forcing chess to kids...but I'm all for encouraging and advertising it.

I think American schools should have admitance based on the Citizenship test, that would realy cut down on people who should not be in school in the first place
