not just public schools either, private schools, stay at home moms who think they know how to teach can be just as bad.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Not exactly. There’s a reason the Arabs referred to the numerals as Hindu numerals. And they probably did not come up with Algebra

And Bhramagupta as well as the Olmecs would question the Islamic origins of zero as well.

Exactly, , before 610 AD, nobody anywhere did math. Not Pythagorus, not Euclid, no Romans, and certainly nobody in China.

They had to do creative writing in public school?
One would think that there’d be fewer/less-obnoxious IM/texts then.

Pathetic morons relying on pathetic morons, to teach kids to be pathetic morons, and to continue down the path of pathetic moronaty(?).
Because math just 1 of those things that have a right and wrong answer, therefore: RACIST!

Lot of contradictions here. Were higher mathematics invented by old, white Arabs? Or is this just another reason to be stoopit?

Islam had a lot to do with preserving cultural knowledge during the Dark Ages. Some say they invented Algebra. Some of the mosaic windows etc from their era of greatness are incredible.

I think islam (small i) invented zero.

Some pretty convincing evidence says they got it from the Hindus, the same place they got "Arabic" numerals.

The six part, BBC documentary The Story of India addresses the origin of those mathematical concepts, among other things.

Math is notoriously racist and sexist.
