When did it become math? Was it when The New Math arose from the depths of Hell with its sets, subsets, and bundles of straws to make a simple thing confusing?

Arithmetic is a branch of mathematics. + - x /, but it's actually a little more than that. No worries. When did students become learners?

A good question, especially since a great many students do not care to be learners.

Since they stopped putting it on barbed wire fences? Say it quickly "arithmetic on a barbed wire fence" and repeat.
Whatever you said...everyone knows you are a lying jerk.
That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied.
Well?

"New Math" was started when I was in the 7th grade, which would be in the 1964-1965 school year, at our public school in Louisiana. I had 1 year of it and then back to the regular math.
