Why would a doctor, chemist or engineer need to know what is in a fiction book to graduate from a university in order to be certified that they can safely treat patients or modify product design specifications or supervise work with chemicals

How would reading Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings or Narnia make someone better at those professions

How would it help them make new science discoveries better than reading more science textbooks or practicing more math instead

How about you again cut corners and reduce class time by having them read primary historical documents from the civil war time period instead of a fiction book or a history book

Let's say a teacher is going to assign someone biology textbook for homework

They could remove the English literature class and just have all the students read the biology textbook as a class group and then not assign that as reading homework when they get home

With the extra hour they saved they could read fiction when they get home if they want to or not read it at all whatever they got their reading practice in and have less homework

I highly recommend use your perfect memory by Tony Buzan if you are too lazy to read a book then I suggest millionairre memory by Dave Farrow

They essentially have the same concepts but millionairre memory is in DVD form and extremely expensive if you can not get it for free via a library

I did not find any general concept in the DVD that was not in the book, however they have a lot of specific examples for different memory systems for different things that are different

So I originally posted fiction stories as a means to try to get around censorship that would happen if I posted certain information in non fiction form

But I still think it is bad policy to force people to reae stories about things that never happened and then test them on that knowledge especially when people could be studying information that is supposed to be true

They could double the hours teaching math for example instead and most people could have college degree level science

How do you believe they will benefit by reading stories that are declared to be fiction meaning that the events never happened according to the authors claims

It is like reading a textbook for history class except the textbook writer claims the history never happened but you have to learn it anyway

Why?

Today is Friday the 13th before Valentines day

But that does not necessarily mean anything bad will happen to you personally

The news might make up fake bad luck romance stories however in the fake news script

I suggest a no calculator math requirement proving you can do certain math problems in your head without a calculator nor a paper and pencil and to be able to do more difficult math problems with a paper and pencil but no calculator

@jmw150

This question in no way says or asks whether or not math should be required

By combining English and Foreign language into a single class the person would have to take less credits, this credit reduction could be replaced with extra math requirements and result in the same number of credits

No, Iran is not a major source of oil for the United States due to long-standing sanctions that restrict trade between the two countries. Most of Iran's oil exports are directed towards China and other countries, rather than the U.S.

I think you want to use at TFMonkey not at TFM

Here is the problem with giving section 8 only to people whose children are under a certain age

The problem is it encourages single mothers to have more children to stay on section eight

We should try to through non violent means lower the birth rate of single mothers as long as our society is structured the way it is

How about never giving any extra welfare reward for becoming a parent at all so as to encourage only those who can survive without extra welfare to adopt or reproduce

In the United States Students should be able to opt out of all English class requirements for graduating High Schools and Universities by taking a class or set of classes in which they must translate a foreign language into proper English grammar which in doing so teaches proper English grammar but teaches an additional new skill to Native English speakers who can already speak proper English

In English speaking countries English literature classes in which students read fiction should be abolished as a graduation requirement for High School and Universities for all Majors and the English Literature Major should be abolished from any University that receives taxpayer funding
