the way math is being taught to our students is asinine from this ole rednecks perspective.


have always loved basic math

my kids have heard over and over math is a language that poor people never learn to speak

and that math never lies, but when 5+5 can equal 9,10 or 11, I say BS

also hate that ladder nonsense, and no texts to come home with kids

my youngest, I just taught him to do math the old fashioned way and forget about the BS they were teaching in school.

we have good schools btw and good teachers, it pizzes me off to no end how they are dictated to as to how to teach.

Thomas that posted above is a perfect example, he teaches at one of our local high schools here, good man for the job, but my bet is guys like Thomas will no longer be a part of our educational system in the future. Kids will suffer for the lack of teachers like Thomas.

I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.
