Expecting math students to get the right answer is now considered to be a form of “white supremacy”

I bet the IRS would love that answer

Advanced math evolved in Babylonia, Egypt, Greece and India how could it possibly be racist?

NO No, you have to think homey. Instead of 1 + 1, it’s “Tayshon bought a blunt and Latrell stole 2 blunts, how many blunts are there in the jail cell?”

s'ok, at least the world will run and fly and not blow up cause math be hard and sh1t...

That's not what Spaulding thinks...

They can chant Jail Trump or Free Angela Davis,but wouldn’t know how to write it or find it in a book....

[ So Whitey does well in math and is successful, so he is “racist.” ]

Where does that Place Asians?

Back in the Philippines, the schooling is mostly private and the schools put rightful pressure on students or else they have to pay the same tuition AGAIN if/when they fail, with parents who are at the poverty line.

That's because The Philippines aren't a third-world Mitthole like California...

So would upset and irate clients.

Why are people trying to dumb-down students with superior intellects???????????

Getting wrong answers in mathematical problems is a sure path to utter failure.

There was once a state legislator who wondered why the ratio of a diameter of a circle to its circumference could not be simply expressed as “3”, rather than the long and irrational number “3.1416xxxxxxx”. It would only work if circles were somehow magically hexagons.

Which works perfectly well in a beehive. There, in the honeycomb, hexagons are merely highly compressed circles.

Math is the latest reality to get rid of.

Marriage, gender, etc. - now even math will be made subjective.

I assume they’ll only fly from Atlanta, Detroit, Chicago and Oakland.

> Math syllabus as constructed by Ed majors who flunked remedial algebra <

Very true! Back when I first started teaching in public schools (1980s), we teachers determined our own curricula. The math teachers would meet as a group, the English teachers would meet as a group, etc. We knew what our kids needed.

That all changed around 2005. As you noted, Ed majors with the latest garbage “research” took over. I told a story about that in my post #17.

What is 2 + 2?
Well it depends on what color your skin is, whether you are gay or trans or whatever etc.
We need to get these people to design some bridges and then force them to drive over the bridges they designed.

That minority-owned, woman-run, democrat-party-donating, multi-racial, ultra-awarded company DID DROP their bridge down on innocent Miami drivers. Killed quite a few them too.

I would not want to fly on a commercial airliner designed by one of these students!
