-- What about the other 60%? --

I see an error in your question, it should be what about the other 160%?

Math is simply a way of writing reality on paper. ‘Diversity’ doesn’t apply.

I suppose it’s only fair if a number self identifies as a letter we must yield to diversity .... same for letters self identify as a number.

In the early 60s my very good 6th grade math teacher told us he was going to try out the “new math” curriculum. After a couple of weeks he gave up and went back to real math. My class was for kids that would likely go to college and he knew what would help us and what wouldn’t.

“In the early 60s my very good 6th grade math teacher told us he was going to try out the “new math” curriculum. After a couple of weeks he gave up and went back to real math”

I remember a bunch of the school district penguins coming into our math class in an early grade and making a glorious announcement about how we were going to be taught “new math” and it would be the greatest thing ever.

We were kept together at least up into high school.

I don’t know how the others fared but I struggled in math all the way through college and was amazed to learn simple things in college that I had never gotten in govt school.

Considering the level of the standards that the 35% is meeting, I’d estimate 98% of the students are drooling on themselves

This will cause more and more parents, who have children in the Government Indoctrination Centers (GICs) (aka public schools, aka government schools), to leave it and send their children to homeschools, parochial schools, or private schools.

What kind of nonsense is this? Numbers are numbers. No diversity is necessary.

If you buy 10 slaves from the African warlord of a rival tribe and then sell the 10 slaves in America and 1 becomes a millionaire basketball player and 1 becomes a football player then how many are left to loot the stores?
