TRANSLATION: “I can’t do algebra, so nobody should be allowed to do algebra.”

Bingo. Weird how the commies think nobody should learn how to write (cursive) and do math. Gotta keep ‘em stupid, I guess. They’ve dumped civics and history, so what do they do in the schools these days now that “reading and writing and ‘rithmatic” have been thrown out?

“TRANSLATION: “I can’t do algebra, so nobody should be allowed to do algebra.”

That’s pretty much it. Let’s get rid of English too because i have to press 1 now for English..

Let’s not stop there!

So long as we are dumbing down why teach Physics, Geometry, Biology, The Calculus?

Who needs grades 6 through 12?

I give his name: Mr. Lewis was my Algebra I teacher. I was a freshman and sluffed off on my homework and so did not get the grades I wanted. I kept hoping, over the summer, that I would get him for geometry, and I did. I took an empty notebook and sat myself right in front of his desk. Entered every axiom, postulate and theorem. Did my homework religiously, whipped through my notebook and came out an A/B student. Great teacher.
And here I was teaching math skills to soldiers. Whodaguessed.
