If you disagree, report to Room 101.






If you think its 4, you're a conspiracy theorist.

I searched for who invented math, and it looks like Africa is to blame.

quote:

In 35,000 BC, the Africans developed the first notched tally bones used for counting. The first modern counting and measuring system was developed by the Sumerians in 3100 BC and the first fully functional 10-number system was developed among the Egyptians in 2700 BC.

I do agree that being required to show my work was oppressive.

Getting the right answer.... not so much

I can only conclude that this is an attempt to keep black people down forever.

Further, it's racist to conclude that black people can't master real math.

Maybe you need to send them to real schools with real teachers to learn real math before you have them taught fake math by fake teachers.

Chairman Xi approves of this, as China continues to kick our arse in math and science. China stacked!

Part of the toolkit includes a list of ways "white supremacy culture" allegedly "infiltrates math classrooms." Those include "the focus is on getting the 'right' answer," students being "required to 'show their work,'" and other alleged manifestations.

Instead of focusing on one right answer, the toolkit encourages teachers to "come up with at least two answers that might solve this problem."

Key word: “might”
Might... as in may not... as in doesn’t.
This literally insinuates that math is too difficult for people of color.

It’s two separate problems.

One at the educational college level where they are teaching failed theory on how to teach.

And a second at the local school level where they cannot maintain enough order and discipline to impart ideas.

So the students are taught from a very early age that they can’t succeed at school. It’s not cool to succeed at school. They have the worst teachers on average because of the discipline issues. And they promote to teacher anyone with a pulse.

By the time the students reach high school, even if they’re motivated to learn, there’s little to learn from the teachers they have. And they have 9 years of relative failure in their history.

Simple drill and practice math and phonemic awareness would change all of this. But neither of those ideas are being taught with any consistency at the educational colleges across our country. I suspect some of this is academic idiocy. And some of it is accomplishing exactly what it’s intended to accomplish.

IRL I've found that the greatest math problem black people have deals with personal finance. They are red lined because they default loans way more than whites or Asians. Hell, a lot of them do their banking on Friday at the liquor store.
