Yep, show the kid how their parent is just too dumb to even be able to help them with homework, and you’ve started undermining the parents credibility in everything else.
Parent will have to teach their kids how to do it the right way.
Education is something that happens LOCALLY there is no need for no-it-all bureaucrats in Washington to get involved. Period. Never.
There should be no federal gov’t. dep’t. of education;they should have absolutely nothing to do with it. They can’t even do the basic stuff right;things that are supposed to be a function of federal gov’t.
Yes, that is one of the intended consequences of this idiotic government takeover of education.
Open rebellion should be mustered. If not over education, then what? Education has collapsed America and guarantees our future shall be stolen permanently. Education is the breeding ground for more Marxists coming.
If we won’t muster for this cause and fight, trust me, we will fight for nothing, ever.
Bring kids home en masse and save the nation. It has to be done. The clock is running out. Union tactics should be borrowed and we should organize, united against this open WAR on FAMILIES.
I think the most important lesson in today’s mathematics is to be able to recognize when a calculating device has produced a questionable result.
Usually I trash parents on this site for STILL sending their kids to public school, while rationalizing that their specific public schools are immune from what is happening in virtually every other public school.
But this time I won’t. Instead, if you do send your kid to public school, you must MAKE SURE he learns math properly, and EARLY, and stays WELL AHEAD of what’s going on in school. For example, if division is ‘taught’ in 4th grade, you MAKE SURE junior has learned it by 2nd grade (i.e., push his schedule forward). So, by the time he’s in 4th grade, he can do all the doodling and write all the essays that now count as “math”, have fun with it, but also know how to get the RIGHT ANSWER. And you need to take that approach right up to Calculus.
There are various ways to make sure junior learns math - you can “after-school” him, rather than have him play piano (or football), for example. You can use after-school learning centers, which, actually do teach it right. You can use tutors. But you MUST DO SOMETHING if you keep your kid in these schools, or he will be paralyzed for life in the job market. It is a lot of work, buy you WILL NEVER regret doing it.
