I like it when they said “It’s Shwotime” and start Shwotime on everyone.

Oh, it's been shwotten.

I just had this prophetic vision that maybe there's some intergalactic organization of entertainment, and they rope each planet into it and someday they're going to come for Earth, and it will be up to a couple of unlikely heroes to save us. Perhaps Kenny and Chuck. And if they, let's just say, had to adlib a song, perhaps that song would be "Gettin' Shwotime".

It's shwotime defines the heats season this year. Poor Jimmy man

Florida education.

I want to say something snarky, but I went to public school in Arizona. I'm just excited that I recognized some of the letters. And numbers.

Yanowknow

Rankings are arbitrary. Here's a measurable stat. SAT scores by state: 40. Florida – 993


GatorWills

From PrepScholars, who ranks the SAT scores: "You cannot rely on raw average scores because these averages are biased by participation rates. The lowest participating states tend to send primarily their best students and have the highest scores. This results in bias." Due to Florida Bright Futures scholarships, Florida [has one of the highest rates of students taking the SAT in the country at 87%](https://blog.prepscholar.com/average-sat-scores-by-state-most-recent) with over 190,000 students. You're comparing FL to some states that only had 80 students take the SAT. Just an example, only 1% of North Dakota students take the SAT compared to 87% of Florida students. That’s 80 of one state’s top students compared to 190,000 of another state’s with most average. The average SAT score range to get into University of Florida is 1350-1490 and they accept over 10,000 in-state students/year which means that the top 1% of students in FL are scoring well above the 1% of ND students tested averaging a 1212. This is why you can't really rank them properly unless every state tested at the same rate or you were only selectively comparing the top X%. And even then, you miss out on those that don’t take the SAT like most Midwest students. [PrepScholars adjusts the states based on participating rates and re-adjusted FL to be #19.](https://blog.prepscholar.com/average-sat-and-act-scores-by-stated-adjusted-for-participation-rate)

Florida is ranked in like the bottom half for pre K to grade 12 btw Florida's University system is good. But other than that it's pretty questionable besides a few key counties. Florida *is not* known for pre-college education. Or maybe it's because I lived half my childhood in VA and half in Florida and the K-12 public education was known to be significantly better in most of VA.


GatorWills

In mathematics, FL [had the 4th highest scores among 4th graders](https://www.nationsreportcard.gov/profiles/stateprofile?chort=1&sub=WRI&sj=AL&sfj=NP&st=MN&year=2002R3) and slightly below average among 8th graders in the country. In reading, FL had the 3rd highest scores among 4th graders and slightly above average among 8th graders. In science, 13th highest among 4th graders and average among 8th graders. Last time writing was tested years ago, FL significantly outpaced the national average for both grades as well. Florida is the 16th highest in the country for K12 according to USNews. They rank around average to slightly above-average on most of the comparisons you can find (EdWeek, USNews, Wallethub). Nowhere near the bottom. Just curious, do live in NoVa? NoVa has a sampling of some of the most academically elite people in the country. Saying this as someone that moved to NoVa from FL before, anywhere can look "below average" in intelligence when moving to NoVa.


thefloodplains

Being below average for 8th grade isn't exactly something to hype up and may lessen the signficance of the 4th grade numbers. But hopefully this points towards the quality of education increasing over time (like better now than in 2018) and not that the quality of education - on average in Florida - worsens as one progresses through k-12. Only according to US News is Florida top 20. All other lists I've seen say bottom 25. VA - as a whole - is like top 5 in K-12 education. Used to live in Southeastern VA (naval capital of the US basically) - NoVa certainly isn't the only area of VA with solid public schools.


GatorWills

I'm cherry-picking by pointing out that FL 4th and 8th graders were tested in 4 different categories each (8 scores total) and scored above average in 6 of them, with 1 score below average? The definition of cherry-picking is highlighting the outlier here which is the 1 score below average. >All other lists I've seen say bottom 25. "Bottom 25" lol. You mean below average? Florida has the 3rd highest score from EdWeek, 14th from WalletHub. I see a newer list by Scholaroo that list them at 30. You're welcome to send over lists you see but I don't see many K12 rankers online. Let alone one that shows they are anything worse than average. We're painting a lot of people with a mighty large brush by judging an entire state's intelligence here just because you moved to VA and feel people are smarter there.


thefloodplains

I mean county is more important than state for sure. But why are you referencing just 4th graders and then 8th graders? Give me data for all grades. "Slightly below average for 8th graders" doesn't really help the case, though. I'm not saying Florida is bottom of the barrel. Just that it's not a particularly intelligent state as a whole when speaking education (again, certain counties for sure are), nor does it particularly focus on those things prior the university level. Yes, bottom 25 is "below average." That's my point. Please send the lists you're referencing. Found quite a few that have Florida all ranked below 25 for pre k through high school and only one in the top 25. Any other list I've seen that ranks it higher *includes* university systems. Only the university system is remotely acclaimed. Floridians know damn well they're not known for good education. Also your last sentence was unnecessary nor do I feel that way. I've lived all over Florida (10 total years across the state), including West Palm, Orlando, and Gainesville. Perhaps surprisingly, I enjoyed Gainesville the most. But it's pretty clear the pre k/high school system in VA throughout the state, on average, is better than in Florida.


GatorWills

>But why are you referencing just 4th graders and then 8th graders? Give me data for all grades I [linked to the data before](https://www.nationsreportcard.gov/profiles/stateprofile?chort=1&sub=WRI&sj=&sfj=NP&st=MN&year=2002R3)? They only test 4th and 8th graders nationally. > "Slightly below average for 8th graders" doesn't really help the case, though. *You're* cherry-picking by focusing on one score they scored slightly below average in and are ignoring the other ~~6~~ 7 scores they scored higher, with some being close to the highest in the country. Overall, the NAER data looks *very* good for the state. >Please send the lists you're referencing. [EdWeek (#3)](https://www.edweek.org/policy-politics/state-grades-on-k-12-achievement-map-and-rankings/2018/09), [WalletHub (#14)](https://wallethub.com/edu/e/states-with-the-best-schools/5335), [USNews (#16)](https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/rankings/education), [Forbes (#22)](https://www.forbes.com/sites/reneemorad/2020/08/04/states-with-the-best-public-schools/?sh=3d49f8751f4c). >Found quite a few that have Florida all ranked below 25 for pre k through high school and only one in the top 25 Cool. List them, please. There's not very many K12 rankings out there. >Only the university system is remotely acclaimed. Floridians know damn well they're not known for good education. The data disagrees with you and your anecdotes.


thefloodplains

You guys are talking about different things


thefloodplains

For pre K to grade 12 Florida isn't great. Like bottom half in the country. For University? Yes. Top 5. UF is now considered a top 5 public university in the country. But that doesn't represent most Floridians as the University system has a lot out of state people, etc. But I love how you didn't even mention which you were discussing haha


[deleted]

Ironically, the public education in Florida is actually really good


CautionarySnow

I’d say on average this is not true.


[deleted]

It’s actually not. Research shows with the dumbing of testing, reduction in rigor, it’s actually worse.


PhiloBlackCardinal

Depends on the district. There are some great ones, some terrible ones. But with how many educators are leaving the state I’m not sure how long that’ll last


NobodyWins22

Florida had the largest amount of people move in (mostly from NY & Cali). I’d be surprised if there’s not many educators in that bunch to at least even things out.


OldManWillow

The fucking governor is publicly battling school teachers. The history of our own goddamn country is too "woke" for Florida now. It's not gonna get better, dude.


thefloodplains

Considering the demographics of people coming to Florida, I would imagine that there *aren't* many good teachers, especially given DeSantis bullshit with schools.

yeah ol' broward county school system learn me book reading real good

Collier1505

Ha jokes on you. For K-12, Florida is ranked 27, we’re ranked 18. 😎


ultramatums

Fair enough haha


thefloodplains

No it's not if we're talking prior to university level.


[deleted]

It's above average, even then


thefloodplains

Florida isn't an above average state for education imho. Ranked 30 on this list ftw: https://scholaroo.com/report/state-education-rankings/ Nor should Floridians take pride in the bar being that low. The University system also has tons of international and out of state people. Pre K to grade 12 is much better measure because everybody in the state has to attend basically.


[deleted]

Ranked 16 for Pre-K-12 in US News


thefloodplains

Yeah and basically every other list I've checked shows it bottom 25 for pre k to grade 12.

I believe it was Jewish Heritage Night. They had a Jewish singer singing the national anthem, a Menorah lighting after 1st quarter, T-shirts, and the best attraction was Alonzo Mourning lighting a giant menorah outside during halftime.


porkchop487

You're forgetting that according to Heat fans, Miami is the only city in the US that has traffic. Thats why their seats are always so empty


VallentCW

It’s also the only city with other things to do in it

I’m not gonna lie man, trying to drive around that area is cancer bc of all the clubs and shit around it. Plus you gotta pay for parking. Games are legit inaccessible sometimes, took me 2 hours to get home on a drive that should take 30 min

> They're probably paid up through the season and taking it off before FTX breaches their contract by not paying would probably be their own breach of contract. I am kinda wondering if they're still being paid by FTX (unless that was a big upfront payment). Surely they can't still be getting those cheques?
