Comment on I dunno
SmartmanApps@programming.dev 3 days agoYeah, but even worse, you’re just talking about schools
I’m talking about anyone at all in the U.S. is allowed to teach Maths without any Maths qualifications
You forgot about all the kids being home schooled
That happens in other countries too, and yet it’s the U.S. which has been sliding down the world rankings for more than a decade, the country that doesn’t require Maths teachers to have Maths qualifications.
Also, it’s kinda obvious the rules of math aren’t different in the US
That’s right, as proven by U.S. Maths textbooks
If people don’t know how to use math properly, the issue clearly is the education and not math itself
Partly right. there’s also people who just outright forgot the rules.

It doesn’t really matter, who needs math anyway? If the president can claim medicine prices will go down 1200%…

I was joking. I was being sarcastic. I was making fun of the US president because he doesn’t understand the concept op percentages. You know, something you learn during basic math in primary school. All while being the freaking president. A potato as a president is tearing down the already fucked up education system, replacing it with his propaganda.

This means only 57% consists of people who knew he was criminal pedophile piece of shit, or recently realized because they trusted his lies over facts before. That also means the rest (except the 1% of people who hold all the wealth and actually love him for getting even more rich at the cost of everyone else, thanks to him) are too dumb to understand what 2+2 is. This includes the journalist from The Economist, because when you add up those percentages you get a total of a 102%.
By now the movie Idiocracy is no longer a comedy, it’s a prediction of the very near future of the US. An optimistic one, because in the movie they didn’t kill themselves or blew up the entire world.

Ok, fair enough, but you know some of his followers are dead serious about it, right? A smiley goes a long way
Yep, and a large number of his followers think that is a good thing, because they think teachers are brainwashing children 😂
