Just read of a push to teach a “new math” the encourages multiple “correct
answers” to math problems and eliminates “show your work”. Supposedly cleanses
math teaching from institutional racism.
OK, irrespective of your genetics, heritage, cultural backgropund and gender
choices, if I tell an employee to go read the sequentials off of a reel of
cable and tell me how much is left, they better get one frigging answer, the
one and only correct answer.
So I am an old fat entitled unwoke white guy. By some accounts automatically
racist. I don’t feel that way, but again I am unwoke (whatever in the hell
that means) so I wouldn’t know.
I simply don’t get how getting the one and only right answer in math class is
institutional racism. Can you imagine someone that came up through schools
that allow this trying to get into an engineering program? Now who is
suppressing whom...
