my nephew had math homework. He would type the problem on the school IPAD and it would tell him the answer.
seriously
What is he learning exactly?
Resourcefulness?
“my nephew had math homework. He would type the problem on the school IPAD and it would tell him the answer...seriously...What is he learning exactly?”
He was learning how to solve a problem in the quickest way possible, using the technology tools now available. What could be wrong with that? Maybe you should join the 21st century?
So much for me giving you the “Education Establishment” answer. What you need to do is get with his parents and make DAMN SURE the kid is doing math on his own, OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL, or he will end up being a useless slog, which is the intended result for white males in our education system (assuming he’s white here...but really doesn’t matter). The system is now design to FAIL THEM, and the only people still succeeding are the ones that make sure their kids learn math OUTSIDE of the education system (Kumon, anyone)...such as Asians and Indians and, actually, most other immigrant groups.
