A little slow to watch all the way through.
Traveling through northern Italy is enlightening. Sienna and Florence are an hours' drive apart, but for ages they were separate kingdoms and fought fiercely.
Borders are pretty arbitrary, eh? I never understood nationalism, the notion that you're better than X Y or Z because of which country you were born in. -

That is cool!
I wish we had stuff like that when I was in school. Heck, we didn't even have Internet, I'm surprised we learned anything.Lost in the right direction. -

Virginia lost a lot of territory.I am human and I need to be loved - just like everybody else does

Took me a little bit to find the yearly clock in the top left corner on full screen... otherwise the info would have been useless.. good find.Be wise enough to walk away from the nonsense around you!

There are plenty of really stupid older folks. Just look at any government building to find them. There are also plenty of really smart kids these days also. My 9th grader is in AP Algebra 2. I don't remember anyone in AP Algebra 2 when I was in the 9th grade. The braniacs we're taking Geometry when I was in 9th grade. I was taking Algebra 1.Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.

I don't know of any colleges that teach algebra -- you're expected to have mastered that as a freshman, at least if you're going into any sort of technical (STEM) field.
I've heard of AP courses offered to 11th and 12th graders, but not 9th graders.
Least that's the way it was back in the stone ages when I was dealing with all that. -

No big deal, just sayin, algebra isn't college level. Calculus, maybe. Kids should be actively using algebra through the last couple years of high school, if they're going into STEM.
Graduating after 11th grade was an option I either never had, or didn't know I had. Ancient history though. -

I took two years of five hour calculus in college. Never use it. Algebra and geometry, now those I use almost every day.
So now my son is going to major in Computer Science too, but is learning Chinese and wants to move back to Singapore where he was born. Even though he had a 35 in math on the ACT (out of 36), I recommended he go with an International Business minor instead of all of the Math.The road to glory cannot be followed with much baggage.
