I Owe Everybody an Apology

[muthed]

You are a pathetic balding middle aged man seeking/trolling for attention while trying to impress strangers on an obscure message board with your pathetic boasts. It's resulted in you being the board stooge. Congratulations

You'll have to excuse rifle. He was involved in an unavoidable, somewhat recent, bike accident that left him with severe mental impairment. He was a moron before the accident, and he is even worse now. I doubt that he'll ever get back to normal.

You owe everyone some oxygen.

You're just trying to get me to give you mouth-to-mouth you perv.

That would be true if all of the metrics had an equal weight, however, the academic metrics carry much more weight than the safety metrics. For example, being bullied was given a weight of 2.22 points and that was the max weight for safety metrics. Metrics regarding student performance/accomplishment were given much more weight such as share of graduates that completed the ACT or SAT having a weight of 7.27. Students barely getting by aren’t taking these tests and bring the average down. This metric alone is nearly as much weight as bullying, student/teacher ratio, and any other safety metric with the highest weight for that category.

Odd that you harp on that yet conveniently ignore that dropout rate also has the highest weight, 7.27. You also benefit from a weight of 3.64 for low income students who graduate. Considering everybody who walks in most west virginia schools is low-income, you're basically getting double points for the same thing: retention (not dropping out) and graduation. That's a huge advantage.

I heard that the study tried asking a west virginia public school educated statistician to calculate the data, but he couldn't figure out the addition aspect, which based on the state's math ranking, is understandable.

Come on, man! Didn’t Nancy teach you any better?

Your argument is that the results would be "extremely different." So it's reasonable to think that if the results were just "different" instead of "extremely different," than wvu would be able to measure up to the states in the middle (average performers in this ranking). But since your claim is "extremely different," it's reasonable to think it wouldn't just slightly improve, but rather, it would radically improve, thus being able to measure up to the top states in this ranking.

christ, WVU has really scorned you at some point in life, no where did i mention that institution. which hits you harder, WVU or Brad Smith?

yore good at doubling down on dumb shit to explain away at other dumb shit you've said, no difference here.

Not only was that not looked at in this ranking, but what does it have to do with my apology in this thread, which was based not on income level but was based on the lack of intelligence of west virginians?

tell me you have zero clue what yore talking about without telling me you have zero clue about what yore talking about.

Not odd at all, I used the metrics you mentioned. Keeping the lower performing students helps certain metrics and hurts others. If you look at the combined helpful (including drop out rate itself) and hurtful impacts on the various metrics and their specific weight, having these low performing students hurt the overall ranking of each state, including WV... which was my initial comment.

I didn't ask you for mouth-to-mouth you dreamer. Besides, even if I did, I know I'm WAY too old for you, Pedo-puss.
