On a break
I dunno about real investments other than land/real estate, but I saw Lake City green tip for $350/case and I am thinking about buying a few since during the last panic that stuff was almost $1/round. The next panic will come, and they're always more intense than the last.

i'm not blaming any failure of mine on the kids. i'm simply saying that this generation of kids are totally unmotivated, unemployable, and have no technical skills - and hence will be mostly useless in todays upcoming job market - and meanwhile cluing u folks into that fact - and created a post to brainstorm together how we can profit off of it. dont kill the messenger....
If you think that all educators who hold my viewpoints should 'find another job', you'd be talking about near 90% or more of public school teachers (thats a guess, i dont have any cold hard facts, which you people seem to REQUIRE for people to post). if you think I am an ineffective teacher b/c of my viewpoints, then why are the grades of the students in my classes statistically significantly higher than other math teachers students grades at my school? and i'm NOT talking my GIVEN semester type grades; i'm taking grades on district/state mandated tests. the given semester grades teachers inflate like crazy, and do not correlate well to what students actually KNOW.
i sleep very well at night knowing I do a good job with the kids, as good a job as can be done in this shit situation we have as teachers. trust me i dont loose any sleep over what a few BARFers think of me, or my job abilities
Instead of soliciting ways to personally profit from the educational failure of others, what can you do to motivate and educate on a grander scale?
Perhaps you should pursue an administrative services credential and be the spark plug for change at the school level, not just the classroom level.
Allow me to use your excuses from a students POV.

But thats a US only data table. There's more than 10 times the population outside the US also with growing smartphone use and the none Apple share is spread amongst different manufacturers. If Apple remains a close 2nd worldwide thats a lot of iphone sales.
I'm not plugging Apple longterm, its a maker of consumer products and the next cool thing could send it the way of the typewriter. But it's got a few good years yet.
What didn't I buy more earlier this year at $400
But the question is, are young people more likely to buy iPhones, or Android. The data says Android (at least here in the US). And I predict that will hold true anywhere else, because young people are more likely to want an OS that gives them freedom, unlike Apple. Not to mention Apple doesn't have any bottom-price phones.

These darn whipper snappers are going to ruin the country.
I grew up in the same generation as you and I don't seem to remember many motivated individuals in high school. People were more motivated about getting laid, or looking cool than they were about doing well in school, or finding a career. I don't think it has changed much other than kids today have different interests than we did. Of course we had different interests than the generation before us, and they probably thought we were going to ruin the country.
I took college prep courses and got B's on book reports for books I hadn't even read. High school was a joke back then, and it doesn't surprise me if it still is.
Honestly I am more concerned with the boomer generation that had practically free education handed to them, put nothing away for retirement, raped social security, and now complains about young people coming up. After raping our country, their solution to social security is that they get full funding and the future generations take all of the cuts. They wonder why this new generation is not motivated to go into $50K worth of college debt so that they can get a job paying $15/hour and live their entire life as a debt slave.
This is so far from the truth. The baby boomer generation was probably the hardest working class ever. They were the ones who learned to save every penny. Many were affected by the great depression by either living through it or having grown up in a household who's parents were right smack in the middle of it.
Trust in the financial system was at an all time low. They only trusted the money under their mattress, real estate, and hard work.
I only wished I saw kids these days save for retirement like our parents and grandparents did. Those traditions are far out the window with how social media and technology has turned OUR generation in to narcissistic and "YOLO" personalities.

It's funny how people say stereotyping by race is bad, but not by generation.
Think back to high school and ask yourself if everyone in your school had the same personality and values. Just because of what year they were born. Now multiply that by 15-20, the average # of years in a generation. The idea is so stupid it's asinine.
Plus they can't even get the generations right. Baby Boomers = 1946-1963 or thereabouts, GenX = 1964-1979, and Millennials (stupid name) = 1980-1995 or 2000, depending who you talk to. Which means the oldest Millenial is 34, and did NOT grow up using ifonz.

Um no
By definition the baby boomers were all born/comviebed after me n returned from ww2. They were handed the world on a platter as America was untouched while the rest of the world was in need of decades of rebuilding.

Somewhere in there is the GenY, those who grew up in the 80's-90's before the millennials who are "internet/tech natives" or whatever. For example, someone born in 1983 had a vastly different experience compared to 1973, and definitely to those born after 1993.
And yeah, I think SNS is referring to The Greatest Generation, the ones who lived through the depression and went on to fight WW2

Gen Y is the same thing as Millennials. Two different names for the same thing. They were born 1980 to the late 90's. After that is Gen Z.

Baby Boomer's were born at the end/after WWII. Many of them are just starting retirement or in retirement currently...
edit:
First baby boomers just started turning 65, three years ago. http://www.census.gov/prod/cen2010/briefs/c2010br-09.pdf. There's a good range of around 15-20 years to classify baby boomers coming out of the wars and depression

Hmm, your comment comes off so jaded it appears you're biased. Not sure if it's something personal, but this is completely untrue.
What is completely untrue?
Thst the baby boomers are by definition the people born post WW2(thus experiencing neither the depression or war) or that America was largely untouched by those wars while the rest of the western world was?
