In other words, they’re highly successful indoctrination centers...
#3 son (14) is taking precalculus and linear algebra using Khan Academy. He can hardly be persuaded to eat his meals because he’s so involved with multivariant functions.
Recently heard about someone taking the Army ASVAB fresh out of high school. The results are on a 1-99 scale with 99 being the best. That person got a 3 with ninth grade algebra. Oh, my...
I heard common core math discussed on radio a couple of months ago and a “test” question was posed “8 + 4 = 12, ‘does that seem fair’?”
The host and guest never addressed it but that phrasing made me consider the convoluted factoring that is done in Commie Core re-distributive math. Take some numbers from here, add them to that smaller number so that it is “fair” to sum them up.
I know about borrowing a number and carrying 1s from basic math but never did the idea of “fairness” come up.
Reminds me of the old joke:
A redneck asked his son what he learned in school today.
The son replied proudly, “Pi R Squared!”
The redneck retorted, “Those schools ain’t worth a damn! Everybody knows “Pie Are Round! Cornbread are square!”.........................
Khan Academy is super. I’ve been taking the math classes to refresh myself for fun and it is very enjoyable. Pure math, no nonsense.
Agenda 21 Ping!
From article:
Then the writer gave it away: “The students are being produced by a new pedagogical ecosystem – almost entirely extracurricular – that has developed online and in the country’s rich coastal cities and tech meccas.”
I graduated from a pretty prestigious engineering school just 20 years ago. I help an 11 y.o. with his math from time to time and I have to google the terms he’s using.
I honestly think it’s an effort to further destroy the family and send the message to the kids “...your parents are stupid” and “the government will take care of you.”
For later
Education (or lack there of) bookmark.
Well, public schools are pretty contaminated. Can you quote the part that explains why getting kids out of them is a bad thing?
