Exactly what a 4th grade math teacher told me Monday. Or, as a former
boss said: "if you thin someone is dumb (cant do math) Just short em a
nickel on their paycheck. They will be in the next day teaching YOU math.

I compare our education system to factory farming. Everybody is taught the same. For
years I thought I couldn't do math, just not my thing, can't do math. Turns out I can't
do the "carry the one" style, its just not how I process things. I can do more
math now in my head than I could do with a calculator in high school. We need to spend a
minute figuring out how a kid learns and stick 'em in with other kids that learn the same
way and a teacher that understands it. Putting different learning styles together is dumb
and wastes everybody's time.
Low expectations of course is nothing new, in the '50s nobody cared if Johnny
couldn't read, he could always go work in the mill, except now he can't, even
if there was a mill...
