There is lots of discourse about grading practices especially in the US with stuff like no zeros and that the lowest grade that one can get is a 50% even if they don’t turn things in. So what does the science say on how we should be grading students

I am thinking about this in a passport sense, what library card gives you the most perks and access. What card has the most reciprocal agreements with other libraries.

My brother in law bought a house that had several patches of milkweed throughout the property and in the garden beds to the point that several of them became exclusively common milkweed. I went through in May and dug up the milkweed in the flower beds. However I left accidentally left some chunks of rhizome that have since sprouted in the bed again. He went through and sprayed the new shoots with some sort of herbicide and the shoots have since turned brown. Is there any hope of going back and salvaging the rhizomes if I go back and dig up it up again?

Science and History have always been my favorite subjects especially life sciences. Now I am out of school and still love learning about each of these subjects but math is so intertwined in science that it is hard to ignore it. I always did fine in math during school, always got A’s but never really cared or fell in love with it outside of doing just enough to get the grade I wanted. I enjoy learning about scientists and the early discoveries of math through various YouTubers like 3 Blue 1 Brown and Veratasium along with engineering marvels from bridges to all types of stuff with space, the building of nuclear weapons, cryptology and espionage. I think by learning the math I will be able to better connect with these subjects and even give me something to do by sitting down and solving it like a puzzle but I just can’t love it outside of what I’ve done in the past, do just enough, know just enough to pass without understanding the what or the why of what I am doing. Part of that may be the math was never made applicable for something that I might be interested in even getting into advanced calculus classes. I will always be a science and history person first and foremost but I would like to learn to love doing math.
