If you go to a chip shop in Scotland and order a veggie burger, you get this frozen patty that they throw in the deep fryer for you. It's battered, has a few veggies like peas and carrots in it, but it's really an enormous fritter, like an inch thick.

They are absolutely wonderful an are probably really bad for you. I've never seen one outside of Scotland. Don't know if they exist in England or not, I didn't go there much.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about? How can I find or make them in the US?

A new principal and superintendent came in a few years ago and metrics skyrocketed. What metrics? GPAs, graduation rates, AP testing, college admission.

But too many special ed kids, high functioning ones, the ones that spend their time in a gen-ed classroom and the issue is behavioral, things are not better for them. I have known kids for 4 years that have never once, not ever, done a school assignment. Never picked up a pencil. Have shown no evidence that they are actually literate. They did not enroll in the credit recovery program.

They graduate.

They graduate in direct and obvious contradiction of the stated requirements for graduation. It is nearly impossible, if not entirely impossible to flunk out of this high school. There are a lot of them.

I'm not accusing my school of fraud, but it sure looks to be that way. At face value, it looks like they are allowing kids to graduate having received no education. And it makes the school look really good on paper.

Am I trippin'? Has anyone else seen this? Is there a viable less shitty explanation for what's going on?

My kitchen has two light switches on opposite sides of the room that control the same fixture. They're both toggle on and off.

I can turn the light off with either switch any time. But to turn the light on, I must turn it on using the switch that I turned the light off with.

Why? I think of how a circuit works and I'm just...like...WTF? How is that possible and how do I fix it?

If it helps, this house was built from a kit in 1990 and there's a some weird stuff going on because the builder was not in any kind of building profession. (e.g. triple tapped breaker, 3 inch screws through 1/4 inch drywall)
