the guy is obviously some kind of neoliberal, forget him, just interested in the math education debate.

@༺པརབྱར།བསངཇ༻ DO YOU HAVE THAT GREAT ARTICLE, THAT I HAD ONCE BUT LOST, ABOUT HOW VERBAL MAY REQUIRE HIGHER INTELLIGENCE?

@Gil O'Teen I FAVOR PROJECT-BASED LEARNING

SO I PROBABLY AGREE WITH HIM

THE MAIN PROBLEM WITH MATH IS THAT VERY FEW NEED MORE THAN BASIC MATH PLUS BASIC ALGEBRA

99% OF THE WORLD'S MATH NEEDS ARE THERE

SO WE ARE WASTING EVERYONE'S TIME

TO GET TO A FEW WHO SHOULD GO ON

AND MOST OF THOSE ARE WASTED BECAUSE THEY ARE OBLIVIOUS TO OTHER FIELDS

THIS IS WHY CLASSICAL EDUCATION EXISTED

MATH ONLY MAKES SENSE IN BALANCE WITH OTHER AREAS

LIKE PHILOSOPHY, LITERATURE AND HISTORY

AND FISTING OF COURSE

OH AND PEGGING

@diversity_is_racism I checked through bookmarks, can't find anything.

THANKS FOR CHECKING

Did it come from me?

I WISH I COULD REMEMBER MORE ABOUT IT

QUITE POSSIBLY

People should learn the math they need for the field they need. Pick a profession, then learn what's necessary

I don't remember sending it

not this wishy washy crap of wasting 9 years

I FEEL LIKE YOU WERE THERE WHEN IT WAS MENTIONED AT LEAST

@Hagel I AGREE

WE WASTE PEOPLE'S LIVES WITH EDUCATION

In 9 years you can be a master of something

you know

WHICH IS BASICALLY MAKE WORK

nine bloody years

MOST PEOPLE NEED EDUCATION THROUGH GRADE FIVE

AND THREE HOURS A DAY AT MOST

THERE IS ONLY SO MUCH THEY CAN ABSORB

BETTER TO HAVE IT LEARNED WELL THAN FLUFFED UP

BUT WE HAVE TEACHER'S UNIONS

MASSIVE PARASITE FACTORIES

This reeks of someone benefitting from a bad system

There's no other explanation for this

SOUNDS RIGHT, IF I TAKE YOUR MEANING CORRECTLY

In your country there are unions

EDUCATION IS DAY CARE SO MOM CAN WORK

In my country I don't know exactly what's going on
