Something doesn’t add up?

Fifty years ago we sent a men to the moon but we still haven’t been able to develop a standardized test where blacks score as well as whites or Asians. People have tried negrocentric teaching methods before and argued that blacks “learn differently” than whites, but I don’t know if it worked. I suspect not.

[King Moonracer]

Black Privilege.

[Leep]

Wait a second ..they have black people in Canada?

[blueplum]

if it’s the same math, who cares if a ‘white’ or ‘black’ or ‘yellow’ or ‘brown’ person developed the theorem? only a racist cares

I'd have no problem with teaching Afrocentric math to STEM - as long as it only earns them an Afrocentric STEM degree and this degree only allows them to practice their profession in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Let them Africa's bridges, formulate Africa's pharmaceuticals, etc..!

[SMGFan]

In Nova Scotia?

[drpix]

Correction:

Let them ^BUILD Africa's bridges...

A Canadian high school switched to “Africentric Math” to attract black students to go into Science, Technology, Engineering and Math(STEM) fields

The problem of getting blacks interested in STEM is not anything to do with Africa.

It is a purely North America problem.

Blacks in North America have a culture developed since the advent of the War on Poverty that being book smart, studying and academic achievement is ‘acting white’.

to “Africentric Math” is not going to overcome such a cultural bias against academics.

Oh.

My.

God.

Stop the planet. I want off now.

The bigger question is why are Canadian Negro children unable to do ordinary math? Canada never had slavery or Jim Crow laws. Canada was always a haven for Negroes who did not like America.

Antwan has an eight ball. If he sells two grams to Shitavius, how many grams does he have left?

[Lean-Right]

“Africentric Math”

Wut dat be?

[ptsal]

Will these students be able to tell the difference between (255,255,255) and (0,0,0)?

Dantuan is meeting LaQueesha at the movies at 6 o’clock. It’s 5:20, and Dantuan is four miles away.

QUESTION: Who is Dantuan’s biological father?

[nickedknack]

Mary has eight apples, Johnny has five apples, and Dantuan has four apples.

QUESTION: From whom did Dantuan steal his apples?

[Lazamataz]

I got no problem with this, but I don't think it will work.

Besides, I'm starting to see many intelligent black folk in STEM.

One company I went to, I was the token white boy.

[Sirius Lee]

Afro-math got us to the Moon. Or at least the Mountains On The Moon or at least the dead reckoning that got Richard Francis Burton and John Hanning Speke to the source of the Nile River.

Basically, luck, tribal memories, and "feelings".

Yeah, I want to fly in a plane engineered with Wakanda math. /s

Used to be, a teacher could motivate the kids by pointing out some other demographic, typically a rival, had mastered a subject.

Nothing said get your butt in gear like Sputnik going up.

Now the idiot academics want you to be able to “see your culture” in a subject. These people are completely ignorant of human nature.

The best way to motivate people is to point out the absence of their culture in contributing to a field, then tell them to get cracking or get left behind.

I was never racist enough to care whether the math I learned came from Greece (geometry), from the Arabs (al-gebra), or wherever. The activist Left is unbelievably bigoted.
