Marcus Jauregui: An Irving teacher draws three lessons from Ahmed’s adventure

Lesson 1: Kids Make Mistakes

Ahmed is a young man who is still learning. He’s just a few weeks into his freshman year. Like all kids, he might have made a misjudgment along the way. Unfortunately, instead of having a crucial conversation to help him better understand our post-9/11 world — the only world he’s ever known — we missed an important teachable moment by jumping straight to the punitive path.

As educators in the 21st Century, we must provide our students with the skills they need to survive in a world that’s constantly changing. Our focus should be on equipping them with the knowledge they need to make better decisions in the future instead of punishing and stifling them. Ahmed believed his teachers would be excited about his invention. Instead he was met with fear.

Lesson 2: Adults Make Mistakes, Too

I wish I had space to write about all the times I got it wrong as an educator. Suffice it to say that in seven years of teaching, I have made more than my share of mistakes. I’m certain that the administrators at MacArthur High School didn’t wake up that morning with the intent of jailing a Muslim teenager. I’m also certain that throughout the course of the day, they struggled to make the right decision in this “damned-if-you-do/damned-if-you-don’t” world, where social media has become our courtroom.

Was the teacher right to question Ahmed’s invention? Yes. Should the police have interrogated a 14-year-old boy outside his parents’ presence? No. Were mistakes made? Certainly. Have the adults learned from this? I hope so. Only a handful of people will ever know how this situation played out throughout the course of the day. As an educator, I’m prepared to expect the unexpected. I’ve also learned that when I get it wrong, an apology goes a long way.​

the BIG ADULT mistake was that this NON-EVENT was transformed by adults
into a MEDIA CIRCUS --------the biggest offender ----by virtue of his office----
was BARACK OBAMA-------a stupid kid-----did a stupid thing------the principle did
what any responsibe principle would do------as did the cops------the whole issue
should have ended when the cops decided not to charge the kid with a crime. The kids could have been suspended for a week from school -------as a symbol of
"KIDS---THINK BEFORE YOU ACT"--------fake bomb threats are a very bad
idea

TD just pull off the legendary and rarely seen double dodge!
she should get some sort of prize for that!

I pulled a kobayashi maru ON fucking dial up. Not bad eh

sorry no it bears no resemblance to that mythical act of heroism.

It got bigger because of that Ole right hand drawer I can make a situation out of this can't you get?

Would you like to try that again?

This time in English?

Running in and out of the house because I have frost approaching and this has been the best season ever. So I am posting on the run here.

The right hand drawer theory is something that we both came up with. Have a killing at a school. Right hand upper drawer. Destroy the second. These old playbooks still work for the dems.

There is the sticking point

His dog wears a hijab too!

 

[daws101]

His dog wears a hijab too!

and his name is falafel

^^Phrases that mean nothing. Are you suggesting he did something wrong? Or is being a muslim with a opinion bad?

How did this so called invention look like a clock?

This kid was caught in the middle of his father's desire to destroy the mayor.

This is a fucking no brainer.

Evidence?

It's a no brainer. It's just the truth. His dad is well known for doing shit.

For someone like you with no fucking brain, it surely is.

These are not pita! Where is the hummus?

I would think that you who know my history of not only defending Islam on the board but embracing so many .

Oh well.

Understanding the workings of an electronic clock is rather important to anyone wishing to understand modern electronics.

How a CPU Works - Page 2 of 10 - Hardware Secrets

So, what is clock anyway? Clock is a signal used to sync things inside the computer. Take a look at Figure 2, where we show a typical clock signal: it is a square wave changing from “0” to “1” at a fixed rate. On this figure you can see three full clock cycles (“ticks”). The beginning of each cycle is when the clock signal goes from “0” to “1”; we marked this with an arrow. The clock signal is measured in a unit called Hertz (Hz), which is the number of clock cycles per second. A clock of 100 MHz means that in one second there is 100 million clock cycles.

Figure 2: Clock signal.


In the computer, all timings are measured in terms of clock cycles. For example, a RAM memory with a “5” latency means that it will delay five full clock cycles to start delivering data. Inside the CPU, all instructions delay a certain number of clock cycles to be performed. For example, a given instruction can delay seven clock cycles to be fully executed.

You really have to keep working on your delivery.



People paid big money for me. I know you are from the heart and I'd kill for one of you by my side. You are from the heart.
