A school should be judged on how fast its students are learning, not on how much they already know when measured.Their words
And you should measure a school based on the rate of learning and the slope of the line, the growth rate, not its achievement.

Does anyone have a high resolution copy of Shishkin’s Brook in a Forest (Stream by a Forest Slope)? Wikipedia has the highest resolution I can find, but not nearly high enough to print at a reasonable size. I’ve already looked through the top hits on Google and Yandex in both English and Russian. Is this just a dead end?

Their words
common failure mode is picking the tech that gives you the fastest early ramp, riding that steep curve, feeling like you're winning, projecting that, you know, steep slope into the future and feeling like the sky is the limit, and then hitting the plateau, and discovering that the technology path that you picked actually flattens out way before the performance that is required by your product.

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.
About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
