What even is American Grade 1 Maths?

No one makes up references. How would you even do that? Do you put quotes on your CV?

There is no legal requirement for references. But there is plenty corporate requirement. If you don't at least acknowledge that references can be given on request, you're unlikely to get far unless it's selling the big issue.

What you maybe misinterpret is that there is less requirement for character references. Big companies will often settle at their HR department confirming your term of employment with your previous company's HR dept.

Everyone makes up references if a job says it needs 2x2 year references which they don't have, they will simply make it up, all they need is a second account in the references name to write a letter themselves. Support workers if you have access to them will offer to lie and say that yes they've known you for two gears as mine have already offered to do. Two support workers regularly visit me, each will simply say they've known me for 2 years and make up a perfect character reference as soon as I ask them to.

that's good thinking.....change the name so no one can identify an unknown person from an unknown interview at an unknown college. or maybe it makes it easier if you use the wrong name the next time this fantasy is regurgitated.

If you type in her real name, college, and my city, it comes up with her info on the colleges website fyi.

no they don't

Yes they do because I've been advised endlessly to do it myself if I want a job.

In most cases you simply get the persons dad on the phone pretending to be their employer for their made up 3 years I.T consultant job.

In any case, the reliance on character references is all it takes to prove that you can only get a job through connections. Don't know anybody? No job for me then.

I actually needed a character reference to apply for my house. Fortunately M&S did that for me 2-3 years after I had finished working for them and the store I worked at having closed.

You're applying real World recruitment norms to the norms that apply to those who reside in Fantasyland. An easy mistake. I've also never falsified a reference but I live in Cambridgeshire, not The Eternal Kingdom of Gum Drops and Unicorns.

Read what I actually said, or meant to say.

Everyone that doesn't have references makes them up to get a job.

Obviously if you have references, you don't need to make them up.

Maybe this is a failing of reading comprehension and common sense due to however much time people spend learning to do arithmetic with making tens.

Even when applying for jobs requiring 2 professional references, which I didn't have at the time, I didn't falsify references, I used academic references and explained the issue.

Character references are not professional references.

If you don't know anyone you are literally discriminated from any job requiring character references.

I cannot use a degree from 20 years ago to satisfy the requirement of a character reference. Only thing I can do is make it up.

Agreed, it makes zero sense to me as well, Seems all those years wasted at uni learning engineering mathematics is outdated and pointless

According to everyone's teacher wife, you're just another idiot.

A Douglas in Interpretative Dance Theory isn't anything to brag about.

Being clever isn't a brag, its perfectly normal to be intelligent.

You wouldn't even be able to pass an Interpretative Dance Theory degree if you lacked intelligence.

Also 5 year olds are not universally stupid. They can do and perfectly understand normal long arithmetic if you teach them how.

I don't understand that question.

My son starts school in September and I'm dreading getting questions like this. No explanation of the method and meaningless terminology.

A couple of years ago I had to help my parents with my niece's maths homework. I had to sit down and treat it like a quiz puzzle in order to figure out the method.

It's no wonder that schools have such poor engagement with getting patents involved when the homework is so unintuitive.

And then the teachers just laugh at anyone that doesn't understand this and call them idiots that cant do what a 5 year old can.

If you teach a 5 year old that blue is actually red, they will believe it. Things you can teach to a child are barely any measure of what adults should know.
