That's a bit of a straw man. It's not their secrets, it is someone else’s secrets and they are deciding how/when/if they are going to make them public. Their mission is to share information as long as it is safe, and there is no double standard in taking a pause to ensure it's safe. If they were participating in fraud or some other behavior and keeping it a secret, then your statement would cease to be a straw man, but they aren't as far as anyone knows so your statement remains fallacious.

EDIT: cleaned up a jacked-up edit I made while typing this out.

Are you ever concerned that administrative departments will pick up on what you are doing and intentionally not supply a particular item to their teachers in hopes that you will foot the bill?

Are there safeguards lined up to stop people from this kind of abusive behavior? It would seem the me that the only bargaining chip would be the children not getting what they need, and who would want to bargain with that. Would they have you buy the balls if they abused this?

I think several of these are absoultely absurd. The open book suggestions, and telling you to give the count of true and false mainly. Otherwise I don't see what the big deal is. Eliminating the all of the above, negative questions, always, never, no, etc is just going to make the questions less ambiguous.

Some teachers just get down right mean with the ambiguity in tests. Answer B will be a redefinition of A, but A is right because it uses a buzz word... how does that prove the student actually learned the meaning and didn't just memorize the term.

(T of F) The american government uses balancing of power that gives each branch oversight over the others.

False: its checks and balances not balancing of power lol you lose.

Maybe I've had poor luck with teachers, but really bad test questions, confusing questions, ambiguous questions, trick questions have always seemed very common to me. Most of the things listed in that list are tools used to make questions confusing.

With the exception of the truely bad items on the list, the open book testing, and the like. I don't see why most of those wouldn't allow you to still have clear, concise test questions that prove your student knows the material.

Who in the list below was a US president?

A. Jon Kennedy

B. Ben Franklin

C. Winston Churchill

D. Both A. and B.

E. None of the above

Prepare for me to be a prick.

You dumped your girlfriend, and your rolling around in your misery alone without telling anyone. I can't think of a better reason to be self destructive than having pancreatic cancer, but it sounds like your intentionally making it worse.

I wish there was something insperational to say. I don't see how a chunk of dylan thomas is going to help, maybe if you had the soundbite of rodney dangerfield reading it. Try to enjoy your life.

Call you're girlfriend back; tell her. Have a meal with your family; tell them. How would you feel if your girlfriend dumped you because her dad died? You would want to be there to try and make her happy. This crap about them only seeing a cancer patient is bull-shit-self-pity. Forget about this memoir crap unless its really something you genuinely want to do and not another way for your to wallow. Then strongly consider having the treatment, a 20% chance is pretty good when the path without treatment is much more narrow.

The pain of chemo is nothing compared to the pain of you internal organs slowly rotting out over the next few years.

Having cancer isnt a reason to shit all over yourself, or your girlfriend, friends, family. You're talking to a bunch of strangers about this. Fuck us.
