Pump 101: An introduction to "Stairs"

2011-05-21T02:13:00.010+08:00

What are stairs?
'Stairs' is the term used for certain 'patterns' in pump-charts.
Here is an example:

As you can see, with a little imagination, the above image forms a 'wave'.
Here are some common, and alternative, names for stairs:
+ Waves
+ Ladders

I will, however, call them stairs (Though, I prefer the term ladders) through out the tutorial as Andamiro calls them stairs.

Alternating your feet's movement
If you're a Second-Gen Pumper (believe it or not, I am not from the first generation of pumpers in Singapore ;O) you should be familiar with the term 'Matic-movement' but let us not confuse all you newbies here!

I will discuss a technique of playing pump with you all.
Dear readers, how do you all walk?
I trust you walk by putting one foot in front of the other in an alternating fashion!

Look at the picture below, this is how you should walk:

Ignore the fact that it's an ugly stick man for a moment and concentrate on how it is walking.
1) Left leg in front
2) Right leg in front
3) Left leg in front
4) Right leg in front
5) Repeat steps 1 till 4

It is alternating its feet's movement as it walks.
This is an important concept in pump!

When most newbies play pump, they play by using only one leg to hit almost all the arrows!
This is wrong.

You walk by alternating your feet's movement.
You pump by alternating your feet's movement.

You would NEVER walk by moving only one leg.
You should, also, never pump by moving only one leg!

Reasons for pumping like how you walk:
+ Two legs are better than one
+ Two legs are faster than one
(Try hopping 100m faster than you can run to see what I mean)
+ Two legs have more stamina than one
+ Two legs look more cool than one

Types of stairs
Here is a flowchart (And a list) that shows all the types of stairs I can think of:

As you can see, there are 12 types (That is a lot) but they can all be easily conquered by remembering to alternate your feet's movement!
(Yes, I keep reminding you to alternate your movements so it must be important!)

How to alternate your feet's movement
I keep ranting on about why you should alternate your feet but have yet to tell you how!
Remember the very first image of this tutorial?
It was of a stair-pattern.
What type?
It was a Full M-Stair (Left)

I shall now show you the image again but, this time, with added notes:

You will notice that I have appended the arrows with the letters 'L' and 'R'.
You will also notice, as you progress through the 'chart', that 'L' and 'R' appear in an alternating fashion.
'L' on an arrow means to press the arrow with your left foot.
'R' on an arrow means to press the arrow with your right foot.

Try and clear the above pattern by alternating your feet!
Not difficult, am I right?

Let us move on to the rest of the 'M-Stairs'.
As we progress, follow each chart till the end and make sure to alternate your feet!

Full M-Stairs (Right)

Half M-Stairs (Left)

Half M-Stairs (Right)

Quarter M-Stairs (Left)

Quarter M-Stairs (Right)

Articles Section Fixed

2011-03-08T16:20:00.001+08:00

Fixed minor bug where the Pro2 Song List disappeared

Fiesta GSTs Added!

2011-03-07T04:21:00.002+08:00

I have added 32 new songs to the downloads section.
You read right;THIRTY TWO SONGS.

They're all Fiesta GSTs.
The OSTs are coming up soon.
Until then; Keep Pumping!

-Justin

Lack of MP3 updates

2011-03-06T22:43:00.000+08:00

I apologize for the lack of MP3 updates.
I have been going out too much recently.

They'll be up by tomorrow, I guess

Fiesta EX Downloads

2011-03-05T13:26:00.002+08:00

The downloads section is up and running, people!
But because I don't have many (If any) readers, I've resorted to this..
The downloads section uses a 'point' system.

You can earn a maximum of 10points a day.
You earn points by commenting in the CBox.
One comment = 10 points.

So you only have to comment once a day, any more won't gain you more points.
When you have enough points, go to the downloads section and select whatever it is you want to download.

Then, you will be given a link and a password.
1) Open a new tab or window
2) Copy + Paste the link into the new window
3) Copy + Paste the password
4) Click 'Unlock File'
5) Download
6) Listen
7) ???
8) ~~Orgasm~~ Party

Don't be sad that you only get 10points a day.
You can try working with other people to get the rest of the links and passwords =P

New Blogskin

2011-03-04T12:53:00.001+08:00

Some of the more 'loyal' lurkers may realize that I've changed the blogskin many times.
This is because I get bored and need something to do or I'll go crazy!

Anyways, expect some nice downloads coming soon =P

More easy stepcharts stolen from youtube

2011-02-20T09:14:00.005+08:00

I'll continue stealing them from youtube until I can't find a chart from there.
Then I'll start recording them on my own.

Why am I posting this?
Because some kid requested it, hahaha

Chimera:

Beethoven Virus:

SotW Revival

2011-02-19T10:01:00.009+08:00

Well, in between major updates, I need to show that this blog is still alive.
So, I'm reviving the "Song of the Week"!~

The SotW aims to give exposure to songs that aren't played enough (In my opinion) and deserve more attention. So check back and you might find songs and charts that you'll love!

This week's song is..
Faster Z

Name	Faster Z
Artist	Yahpp
BPM	162
Single	4,8,12,16,19,20
Double	14,18,20,22

What's so great about this song?
Aside from the fact that it sounds damn freakin' awesome, it also has a whole host of charts ranging from very easy to very hard; This means you can play this song be you a newb or veteran.

Where can I find this song and its charts?
Channels: NX and NX2, Original Tunes

Final Word
Stop spamming Chimera, Beethoven Virus, Winter and every other classical remix for one day and play Faster Z!
Give it a go and see if you enjoy it.

For the little girls at AMK

2011-02-17T22:17:00.004+08:00

Eh, someone requested a video-chart..
So I'll leave this here:

I did not take the video

CboxH

Project 'CboxH' is ready for a full public release.
To use CBoxH for your web-page/blog, go over to: http://cboxhfaq.blogspot.com/

One-Foot Training

2011-02-08T23:21:00.011+08:00

Fuck this; who cares if no one reads this blog?
I'm still gonna' update it.

I present to you all..
The very first Pump It Up Pro 2 edit that I'm releasing to the public ^^

I have about 30+ edits just waiting to be uploaded ;O
(And more are being made)

Pump It Up Pro 2 Edit-File Information
Simfile Name	One Foot Training
Song Name	Anubis
Chart Type	Single
Description
The whole chart is about training just one foot. Your right foot will always be on a hold note while your left foot has to hit every other note. It's harder than it sounds =P I, personally, FC'd it with 90+% because I'm good with using my heels.

Click Here to download the .edit file

CBox.. Hacked

2011-02-08T06:37:00.004+08:00

I spent the whole night up..
Guess what I did?

I hacked cbox =)
Non-Premium -Hacked- Cbox features:
Auto-refresh (I set it to once every 5seconds)
Character limit for post (600)
Character limit for name (40, actual is 80 but I don't want spam)
Character limit for links (80, actual is 250 but I don't want spam)

Added features:
Convenient 'reset form' button
custom color select tool (Try it out! Took me so long to program it; first time)
Drop-down menu with other cbox code

The awesome thing about this is that I can apply it to any cbox.
Anyone feel the need to have an over-powered non-premium cbox?

[EDIT]
I changed the refresh-delay to 15seconds.
5seconds is too much =/

Facebook invades AH-S O_O

2011-02-07T22:57:00.003+08:00

Woah, look at what we have here!
A 'Like' button! >.>

I added it there to (hopefully) increase reader traffic.
Yes, the man who hates facebook has fallen so low as to request FB's help =/

Anyways, if this works, I'll open up the 'Getting Better at Pump' section.
I have everything ready, I'm just waiting for the right amount of reader traffic before I proceed =P

New Section Up!

2011-02-02T21:40:00.004+08:00

I have modified the 'Gallery' section of this blog.
It now has two parts:

Pictures
Videos

The new part is 'Pictures'
It has only one album for now: Esplanade Outing
But I assure you that more will be put up =)

If you have an album to contribute, tell me.
Check it out.

[EDIT]
New album added: Pro2 Competition (2010)
It doesn't have a lot of photos.
If you have any photos to contribute to the album, tell me

I'm not here to talk about some boring updates about the pump machine. >.>

Justin also has a life, so I'm gonna help him out a little.

Just yesterday, me, Justin, JQ and Hadi went to Esplanade to have a breather and take a few pikchas! Only thing is, I don't know how to upload all the photos into this blog.

So we'll just have to wait for Justin to do the uploading!

Btwww, this blog isn't just for updates on pump. I mean, we're family, and we do things together. So there'll be posts about us as well! Not just machines, pffft.

I'm gonna let Justin do the rest of the work. Wait for him k! His computer is downnn. Only can go to LAN shops to update. Ohwells.

Goodnight everyone, pleasant dreams!

Mini-Online Freestyle Competition Status
Also, should you think that the Mini-online Freestyle Competition has been cancelled..
Think again ;)
We STILL only have 2 participating videos!
Looking for 3 more participants before I begin the voting process.

[EDIT=2]

To Internet Exporer Users:

Not sure if any of you readers use IE to view the blog..
But if you do, you will realize that the entire blog looks f*cking ugly in IE.

Not to mention that you have to SCROLL up and down so much.
I have edited the blog codes and the blog is now more intelligent.
It will automatically detect which browser you are using and adjust the display accordingly.
The blog now looks ALMOST the same on all browsers..

I just have to make the Navigation area look the same on IE now..

[EDIT=3]
Fixed a bug in the blog that made it impossible for IE users to view the 'Gallery' section.
Thanks, Dydy for reporting the bug to me <3

It wasn't your browser's fault ><
It was my coding carelessness =x

At least you got Mozilla now ^^

A tad early to be wishing that to all you people.
But if you actually bother to come here to this blog,
God dammit, you deserve the early wishes =)

You'll notice that there's a new AHS banner staring at you ;)
Like it?

Enjoy the festive season!
Bro-tip: Eat loads of Bakkwa

[EDIT]
Hey, I was reading through the Blog archives and noticed this:

It's the signature that links to this blog!
So, if you have a blog and would like to help get more traffic into AHS..
(And motivate me to add in more sections to this site..)

Paste this code somewhere in your blogskin codes and tell people (Pumpers) to click on it!
The code:

</a></center>

[EDIT=2]
As an extra Lunar New Year surprise...
Justin is gonna' fight for the Zone-X Pumpers' enjoyment of PIU: Fiesta!~

This is a letter that was just sent to Zone-X (3:14am, January 14' 2011)

I had hoped that I would not need to write in again.
Many of the pumpers and I are disappointed that Zone-X has chosen to:
1) Disable the USB-boxes
2) Reduce the lives from 5 to 4
3) Increase the price per game
4) Not update the game anymore after it's 1.06 patch

The USB-box is crucial to the game as it allows unlockable content and if you guys enable the USB-box, we, the pumpers, can update the machine, too. Pump it Up: Fiesta is at version 1.20 now.

1.06 -> 1.07 -> 1.10 -> 1.20
You can see how long I waited before finally writing in.

I seriously have no idea why you all chose to make it $1.65 for 3 songs. That's $0.55 per song
TimeZone has it at $0.45 per song and their USB-box is enabled.
I, personally, do not go there and haven't updated any of their machines beyond 1.05, though.

I ask that you all at least enable the USB-boxes and allow me to update Fiesta to 1.20 and allow pumpers to enjoy the many new songs, charts and courses.

-Justin

Irony

2011-01-06T08:00:00.002+08:00

Ironic that my PC has to crash and burn after I do something useful with it (This blog)
Ironic that my PC has to pull its own plug after I dissed Raymond's computer =P

Imma' quote it:

Raymond Pumper Wang
lol... my browser totally hanged itself when i tried loading the pro 2 song list... you put too many scripts in it i think...
Tuesday at 8:05pm ·
Justin SpeedPumper
No, your computer too old I think.
My computer is VERY OLD.

Ask Sherilyn Chong, she gave me the PC I am using, about 5 - 7years old now.
It runs the thing fine.

Your PC Sucks, Admit it, stop blaming my code.
I will make it more efficient if needs must be but this is efficient enough
Raymond Pumper Wang
hmm... my comp is definately newer than urs...

Your comp is definitely more crap than mine..

I just made the code more slow-PC friendly.
It doesn't go through each cell anymore, the downside is that you no longer get VERY specific tables.
Every sort has the same numbers of columns.

But that's a small price to pay for a full song list, imo, try it now

I am on a laptop now, for some reason, being on a laptop makes it hard to think of what I need to code <.<
Anyone got any clues on the next thing I should finish for the blog?

Changes

2011-01-04T22:10:00.003+08:00

After having had over five false alarms of the site not working properly,
I have decided to give the 'News' section a definite max-height of 200pixels.

I MIGHT re-code the Pro 2 Song list if more than 3people have a problem with it:
So far, Only one person has brought up the problem.
Waiting for 3more people to step forth.

Apologies

2011-01-03T18:52:00.006+08:00

There was so much wrong with my site source code that I had to re-do everything and didn't update the blog at all.

I deeply apologize and ensure that it won't happen again because it can't.
What have I been doing?

I recoded the site from scratch.
All 3000+ lines of it.
(It's now 2000+ lines of code =P)

This site is now cross-browser compatible.
It will work with FF, IE and Chrome.

I do not recommend viewing the site in IE, though.
IE tables are fucked up and IE makes the site look ugly.
Stick to FF and Chrome, people.

PS: As you guys are reading this, I am slowly updating the Gallery page and working on *Gasp* the PIU: Pro2 song list!
I know that, much to my dismay, many of you prefer Pro2 over Fiesta and did not find much use for the Fiesta song list =/

The Pro2 song list will be more helpful =P

[EDIT]
The Pro 2 Song List is up and running!
Check it out now, remember to read the News Section, too.

All right, people!
In case some of you have forgotten, many weeks ago, I said I'd e-mailed the guys over at Zone-X..
I lied.

But a few days ago, I got my lazy ass to do it and I have very good news:

Reply from Mr. Rahman Ramlee:

And here's my follow-up reply:

My Reply:

Hello,

All right, I can provide the USB and the following details:

Only one patch can be applied at a time, meaning that the USB can only have one patch-file in it at a time..
(And I only have one USB and no laptop..)

There are 5 patch files.
The instructions can be found here: http://piugame.com/tempst_bbs/board/board_view.php?tbname=mal_notice&page=1&divpage=1&no=85

Basically, a laptop (or a computer) would be needed to switch between patch files after each update.
Update machine
Change patch-file on USB
Rinse and repeat

A quote:
How to update
1. Prepare recognizable USB for FIESTA machine. (Recommend to use official PIU USB)
2. Please download 3 “FIESTA UPDATE PATCH”files and save it in the USB.

( 1.02patch, 1.03patch, 1.04patch )
3 After accessing “Test mode” in FIESTA, please insert USB into FIESTA machine.
4. Among USB Drive menu in Test mode, please perform “SYSTEM UPDATE”

5. After back to game title, please make sure whether version has been changed
Note.
1. For updating, we highly recommend to use official PIU USB. (Some USB may not be identifiable)
2. It is not able to update the latest version without installing previous version.
(required to update as following order 1.01→1.02→1.03→1.04)
(In case of ver1.01, you should save 1.02 & 1.03 and update twice, one for 1.02 and another for 1.03)
3. It’s required to save update file in USB Root (do not save it in any other folder)
4. Do not insert USB before accessing TEST MODE
FIESTA v 1.02 update content
- Amended some error of Ver1.01
FIESTA v 1.03 update content
- Extend range of available USB
- added up double step in Basic mode (Except china version)
FIESTA v 1.04 update content

- Co-op mode is possible to enjoy without USB
- Add up mark “2X” in window commend for Mania mode.
- USB identification process become 1 Step.
- The gradel limitation is changed from Level5 to level10.
- Now it’s possible to set sound volume
*In case volume from machine is not enough. It’s possible to control the sound volume in software by following instruction:
In “Set up menu” of Test mode, choose sound test first then test audio. You may able to adjust and check volume here.

Default value of volume is “80”. You may adjust this value from 50 until 95.

It’s not recommendable to adjust this value because it may damage woofer in case set volume become higher than default value

In any case, I could not attach the files in this email because the total size of all 5 patches is 197 MB (206,633,596 bytes)
I've, instead, put the files in the USB that I am to lend you =)

Umm..
How would I get the USB to you?

Justin

tl;dr
We are getting our Fiesta updates very, very, soon =)

Fiesta patches.. Again

2010-08-11T19:25:00.002+08:00

I guess I've waited long enough =/
I've just sent another e-mail.
This time, it's to the Operations Support Manager, Mr. Rahman Ramlee.

Take a read through the e-mail:
-----------------------------------------------------
Dear Mr. Rahman Ramlee,

Some weeks ago, I received an e-mail from Ms. Ng Bee Lin instructing me to e-mail you if I wanted to know the status of the PIU: Fiesta updates. At first, I was convinced that it wouldn't matter much if the machine was updated or not. But now I know better. The following list of cons was compiled based on the experiences of the pumpers (People who play PIU) from AMK, Jurong, Woodlands (Except, it's TimeZone there), CCK and Tampines.

Cons of v1.01

Only support for one type of USB (The original 'Pump' proprietary USBs, and I'm the only one in Singapore to own it, literally. So, I'm the only one with full access to Fiesta's functions so far)
Fewer charts
Fewer songs
Fewer note-skins
Many bugs/glitches in the UI
Difficult to navigate mission zone
Difficult to navigate skill-up zone

The following list of pros was compiled based on info. from http://piugame.com/

Pros of 1.06

Support for most types of USBs (Kingston, PSPs with USB cables, handphones with USB cables, SanDisk, Toshiba, etc.)
More charts
More songs
More note-skins
Fixes for bugs/glitches in the UI
Mission zone has added texts to improve navigation
Skill-up zone has added texts to improve navigation
Added 'Music-Train' courses
Added tutorials for new players to learn the game

So..
We would like to know if the updates will be done soon.

The updates don't cost any extra money, they're free, are official from Andamiro and bring new content to the machine that was previously left out. If the updates are not being planned, we would like to know the reason to give us some peace of mind.

We can provide information on how the updates should be done if needed. I'm terribly sorry if I've come across as rude.

From,
Justin

USB Functionality for PIU:Fiesta update.

2010-05-16T05:23:00.003+08:00

Hello, everyone.
I have information regarding Fiesta's USB-functionality and patch updates.
Original e-mail sent to them:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Zone-X staff,
My friends and I were pleased that you guys upgraded PIU:NX to PIU: Fiesta. However, there have been a few things that need to be sorted out.

The version of Fiesta that you guys have is an out-dated version. You can update via USB for free (Link: http://www.piugame.com/tempst_bbs/board/board_list.php?tbname=en_notice&page;=1&divpage;=1&no;=84).

Unfortunately, I doubt that updating by USB would be possible due to another issue. I asked AngMoKio's Zone-X manager about enabling the USB-box function (Enabling it allows for a lot more content to be accessed) but she said that her technicians were unable. A friend of mine tried CCK and the manager mentioned the same thing.
So, another friend of mine sent an e-mail regarding the USB-box and the reply he got back was that it would be enabled soon. But there was no approximate date given. I checked back with the manager of AngMoKio's Zone-X and she told me that there was no such plan.

Were we fooled into thinking that the USB-box would be enabled?
PIU: Fiesta's charm is in the unlockable content that comes from the use of the USB-box.
More songs, battle-mode, quest-world, level-system, etc. all require the use of a USB.

I really hope you guys will consider installing the USB-box and patch Fiesta to it's latest version.

-Justin

Lazy man' guide to posting

2009-11-24T02:22:00.004+08:00

"Lazy man" tip No. 1: Find an interesting article and post it up

Following this rule, I am lazy to post an SotW, but will show you this article.
It is THE reason I DO NOT do homework.

Dear people, I have decided to share, with you all, my views on homework.
Calvin's results are good, not because he does homework, because of something else.
I don't know what it is, pure IQ, or his self-study, BUT NOT HOMEwORK.
This is an article that you guys should read when free.

If you don't believe that homework has no benefits, google "Homework no benefit" and read the results.
You may know me as the boy who never goes to school, do homework or learn anything.

This is my reply.

HOMEWORK: NO PROVEN BENEFITS

It may surprise you, as it did me, to learn that no study has ever demonstrated any academic benefit to assigning homework before children are in high school. In fact, even in high school, the association between homework and achievement is weak -- and the data don't show that homework is responsible for higher achievement. (Correlation doesn't imply causation.)

Finally, there isn't a shred of evidence to support the folk wisdom that homework provides nonacademic benefits at any age -- for example, that it builds character, promotes self-discipline, or teaches good work habits. We're all familiar with the downside of homework: the frustration and exhaustion, the family conflict, time lost for other activities, and possible diminution of children's interest in learning. But the stubborn belief that all of this must be worth it, that the gain must outweigh the pain, relies on faith rather than evidence.

So why does homework continue to be assigned and accepted? Possible reasons include a lack of respect for research, a lack of respect for children (implicit in a determination to keep them busy after school), a lack of understanding about the nature of learning (implicit in the emphasis on practicing skills and the assertion that homework "reinforces" school lessons), or the top-down pressures to teach more stuff faster in order to pump up test scores so we can chant "We're number one!"

All of these explanations are plausible, but I think there's also something else responsible for our continuing to feed children this latter-day cod-liver oil. We don't ask challenging questions about homework because we don't ask challenging questions about most things. Too many of us sound like Robert Frost's neighbor, the man who "will not go behind his father's saying." Too many of us, when pressed about some habit or belief we've adopted, are apt to reply, "Well, that's just the way I was raised" -- as if it were impossible to critically examine the values one was taught. Too many of us, including some who work in the field of education, seem to have lost our capacity to be outraged by the outrageous; when handed foolish and destructive mandates, we respond by asking for guidance on how best to carry them out.

Passivity is a habit acquired early. From our first days in school we are carefully instructed in what has been called the "hidden curriculum": how to do what one is told and stay out of trouble. There are rewards, both tangible and symbolic, for those who behave properly and penalties for those who don't. As students, we're trained to sit still, listen to what the teacher says, run our highlighters across whatever words in the book we'll be required to commit to memory. Pretty soon, we become less likely to ask (or even wonder) whether what we're being taught really makes sense. We just want to know whether it's going to be on the test.

When we find ourselves unhappy with some practice or policy, we're encouraged to focus on incidental aspects of what's going on, to ask questions about the details of implementation -- how something will get done, or by whom, or on what schedule -- but not whether it should be done at all. The more that we attend to secondary concerns, the more the primary issues -- the overarching structures and underlying premises -- are strengthened. We're led to avoid the radical questions -- and I use that adjective in its original sense: Radical comes from the Latin word for "root." It's partly because we spend our time worrying about the tendrils that the weed continues to grow. Noam Chomsky put it this way: "The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum -- even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate."

Parents have already been conditioned to accept most of what is done to their children at school, for example, and so their critical energies are confined to the periphery. Sometimes I entertain myself by speculating about how ingrained this pattern really is. If a school administrator were to announce that, starting next week, students will be made to stand outside in the rain and memorize the phone book, I suspect we parents would promptly speak up . . . to ask whether the Yellow Pages will be included. Or perhaps we'd want to know how much of their grade this activity will count for. One of the more outspoken moms might even demand to know whether her child will be permitted to wear a raincoat.

Our education system, meanwhile, is busily avoiding important topics in its own right. For every question that's asked in this field, there are other, more vital questions that are never raised. Educators weigh different techniques of "behavior management" but rarely examine the imperative to focus on behavior -- that is, observable actions -- rather than on reasons and needs and the children who have them. Teachers think about what classroom rules they ought to introduce but are unlikely to ask why they're doing so unilaterally, why students aren't participating in such decisions. It's probably not a coincidence that most schools of education require prospective teachers to take a course called Methods, but there is no course called Goals.

And so we return to the question of homework. Parents anxiously grill teachers about their policies on this topic, but they mostly ask about the details of the assignments their children will be made to do. If homework is a given, it's certainly understandable that one would want to make sure it's being done "correctly." But this begs the question of whether, and why, it should be a given. The willingness not to ask provides another explanation for how a practice can persist even if it hurts more than helps.

For their part, teachers regularly witness how many children are made miserable by homework and how many resist doing it. Some respond with sympathy and respect. Others reach for bribes and threats to compel students to turn in the assignments; indeed, they may insist these inducements are necessary: "If the kids weren't being graded, they'd never do it!" Even if true, this is less an argument for grades and other coercive tactics than an invitation to reconsider the value of those assignments. Or so one might think. However, teachers had to do homework when they were students, and they've likely been expected to give it at every school where they've worked. The idea that homework must be assigned is the premise, not the conclusion -- and it's a premise that's rarely examined by educators.

Unlike parents and teachers, scholars are a step removed from the classroom and therefore have the luxury of pursuing potentially uncomfortable areas of investigation. But few do. Instead, they are more likely to ask, "How much time should students spend on homework?" or "Which strategies will succeed in improving homework completion rates?," which is simply assumed to be desirable.

Policy groups, too, are more likely to act as cheerleaders than as thoughtful critics. The major document on the subject issued jointly by the National PTA and the National Education Association, for example, concedes that children often complain about homework, but never considers the possibility that their complaints may be justified. Parents are exhorted to "show your children that you think homework is important" -- regardless of whether it is, or even whether one really believes this is true -- and to praise them for compliance.

Health professionals, meanwhile, have begun raising concerns about the weight of children's backpacks and then recommending . . . exercises to strengthen their backs! This was also the tack taken by People magazine: An article about families struggling to cope with excessive homework was accompanied by a sidebar that offered some "ways to minimize the strain on young backs" -- for example, "pick a [back]pack with padded shoulder straps."

The People article reminds us that the popular press does occasionally -- cyclically -- take note of how much homework children have to do, and how varied and virulent are its effects. But such inquiries are rarely penetrating and their conclusions almost never rock the boat. Time magazine published a cover essay in 2003 entitled "The Homework Ate My Family." It opened with affecting and even alarming stories of homework's harms. Several pages later, however, it closed with a finger-wagging declaration that "both parents and students must be willing to embrace the 'work' component of homework -- to recognize the quiet satisfaction that comes from practice and drill." Likewise, an essay on the Family Education Network's Web site: "Yes, homework is sometimes dull, or too easy, or too difficult. That doesn't mean that it shouldn't be taken seriously." (One wonders what would have to be true before we'd be justified in not taking something seriously.)

Nor, apparently, are these questions seen as appropriate by most medical and mental health professionals. When a child resists doing homework -- or complying with other demands -- their job is to get the child back on track. Very rarely is there any inquiry into the value of the homework or the reasonableness of the demands. One prominent example of this sensibility is pediatrician and author Mel Levine, whose advice for dealing with kids who don't do what they've been told reads like a heavy-handed parody of early-twentieth-century scientific management -- except that he wants us to chart the "work output" of six-year-olds. Parents "need to take on the sometimes adversarial and perverse authoritarian role of taskmaster," he tells us. They should "set up and enforce consistent work times" and limit the hours that children spend on purely relaxing activities, which are "likely to be detrimental to output." Levine offers helpful examples of logs, charts, and bar graphs that should be posted in our homes so we can keep track of kids' productive output.

Someone who looks at children and sees (insufficiently productive) workers is unlikely to raise questions about the structural imperatives of schooling -- what kids are made to do, and why, and whether it is of any value to the kids themselves. Levine offers case studies of children who don't do their homework, but never once examines the content of the assignments to determine whether they're likely to be beneficial, let alone what basis there is for believing that homework in general is necessary. Our goal, as parents and teachers, is merely to maximize kids' "output," to make them more efficient at carrying out any instructions they've been given.

Sometimes parents are invited to talk to teachers about homework -- providing that their concerns are "appropriate." The same is true of formal opportunities for offering feedback. A list of sample survey questions offered to principals by the central office in one Colorado school district is typical. Parents were asked to indicate whether they agree or disagree with the following statements: "My child understands how to do his/her homework"; "Teachers at this school give me useful suggestions about how to help my child with schoolwork"; "Homework assignments allow me to see what my student is being taught and how he/she is learning"; and "The amount of homework my child receives is (choose one): too much/just right/too little."

The most striking feature of such a list is what isn't on it. Such a questionnaire seems to have been designed to illustrate Chomsky's point about encouraging lively discussion within a narrow spectrum of acceptable opinion, the better to reinforce the key presuppositions of the system. Parents' feedback is earnestly sought -- on these questions only. So, too, for the popular articles that criticize homework, or the parents who speak out: The focus is generally limited to how much is being assigned. I'm sympathetic to this concern, but I'm more struck by how it misses much of what matters. We sometimes forget that not everything that's destructive when done to excess is innocuous when done in moderation. Sometimes the problem is with what's being done, or at least the way it's being done, rather than just with how much of it is being done.

The more we are invited to think in Goldilocks terms (too much, too little, or just right?), the less likely we become to step back and ask the questions that count: What reason is there to think that any quantity of the kind of homework our kids are getting is really worth doing? What evidence exists to show that daily homework, regardless of its nature, is necessary for children to become better thinkers? Why did the students have no chance to participate in deciding which of their assignments ought to be taken home?

And: What if there was no homework at all?

Okay, from here on out, there will be a weekly update of Pump Songs.
I'll call this weekly update, the "Song of the Week".

No, it isn't about what songs are popping out of thin air, but rather, songs that already exist(duh) and deserve some special attention or something =)

Today's song of the week is...
Final Audition 3 U.F!!

Song Specs-->
BPM: 130.5
EZ:
HD:
CZ:
FS:
NM:

What's so great about this song?
This chart first made its debut on Exceed B, long before Singapore got its first NX machine.
We're going to concentrate on this chart's CZ and NM modes, because of one thing: The charts are twisty, very twisty, and have a decent BPM of 130.5 that makes it easy to no-bar.

Ask yourself this, "How many times have I played this song?"
The answer would surprisingly be, "Not a lot, if at all."

Is the CZ-mode any good?
For those of you who feel that you can't play twisty charts well, this song's CZ is a good stepping stone towards getting better at twists and turns.
The BPM is just right and the twisty parts are in short bursts, this combination allows you to conserve stamina!

What about the NM-mode?
The NM chart is a 2skull chart and is not to be taken lightly. Its twists are definitely harder than its CZ counterpart and the twisty parts are more of a continuous stream than short burst.
It's good to test if you have gotten the basics of transitioning between pads on this chart but if you're looking for a challenge after mastering this chart, there are better songs out there.

Wow, so where can I find this song and its charts?
NX: Banya Station
NXA: PIU Originals
Pro: Somewhere... lol.

For fun =)

2009-10-31T23:22:00.001+08:00
