These teachers aren't teaching math the way I was taught math.
Therefore it must be inferior.
Now you're gettin' it.
if you aren't totally done with fractions by the end of 5th grade you are Doing It Wrong. Don't care how poor the area is. Those kids are just being screwed.

would be like not even trying to teach reading until 3rd grade and staying on "see spot run" until 5th.
They start teaching fractions as early as first grade. They just stick to like denominators and conceptual exercises like drawing a fraction circle until grade 5.
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
New math was an approach to teaching math in a conceptual manner, with less emphasis on repetitive arithmetic exercises.
One of the parts of it that was widely reviled was the use of non-decimal bases. So kids would be taught how to count in different arbitrary bases and then asked to do math in those different bases.
The thing is that this method works really really well, but it confuses the shit out of parents (and some teachers).

which is incredibly stupid and is going to seriously hamstring those kids lumbered with such poor teachers
like denominators and estimating should be fraction of one year of math tops. Hell, it's one of the few subjects that kids that age really can eat up and learn. Even better than adults. You can't hand a 3rd grader a copy of Macbeth or cover much in the way of history but those kids can eat up math like woah.
i don't remember how i was taught math but it transformed me into the brilliant, incisive, efficiently coding numbskull who barely passed calculus but got a 100/100 in statistics that you see in front of you today
The other day I saw a picture of a naked woman walking down the street with the words "Still not 'Asking for it'" written on her.
And I was like, "Damn right, gurrll! Preach it!"
But these two guys were just acquitted of "looking gay" in central africa in Cameroon where homosexual acts are illegal. And I'm reading it turns out they were dressed as women and wearing make-up. And my mind went, "If you know it's illegal, what the fuck were you doing dressed as women? What did you expect to happen?" And in a way I think they should have been more careful and mindful to avoid being arrested.
I swell up in frothing anger when someone suggests that a girl was "asking for it" or "should have been more careful" if they were wearing a low cut top and had too much to drink and they were raped. But a guy dresses in drag in a country where homosexuality is illegal and I'm all like, "What did you expect to happen dressed like that?"
Is there a way to quantify what the difference is? The fact that "law" is involved in one case? Is it a gender double standard I have? A cultural prejudice that I expect so little coming out of African governments?
I don't think they changed anything in the decade since I attended those classes, also after age nine my teachers were entitled to just adapt whatever as long the core stuff was still taught (hence the experimental invasion of the US math worksheets)
Love me some Brie, but prosciutto has always been too insubstantial for my taste. If I'm wrapping anything in fatty, thinly-sliced meat, it is gonna be bacon.

I'm doing stats for a math credit right now; it is much easier then even the math I did in high school. Half the questions are asking me to find the bias or explain the significance of the information I gather.
Generally though I revile math because it is both very annoying and very useful.

I can respect your dedication to structural integrity, but I might suggest that prosciutto is like, the dainty delicate lace of getting fat as opposed to bacon's perfect slabs.
It's this one. You likely would applaud a woman wearing immodest Western-style clothing forbidden in Saudi Arabia but you'd look away in revulsion at a man wearing, say, a Brazilian speedo in an American shopping mall.
Calc and stats seem to use different parts of my brain. Calc required a complete rearranging of my math brain it seemed. But I enjoyed chunks of it. Stats always seemed much more intuitive to me. Also depending on the stats class they can range from brain dead plug and chug to actually dealing with math more complex operations.

That second one is not true, but the first one is. Though I might be more amused than I should be at the second.
I used to live and breathe music and it has become a less central part of my life over the last few years
But between the new burial and this fybe one album, damn
This fybe one album is album of the year material for me
I am like, swooning and having emotions over it
i seriously didn't bring my ipod with me when i went out yesterday because i am tired of music
Since I am back in class, I once again have tuned my radio to nothing but NPR because I need to keep my self up to date on the news. Like during my break I barely read or listened to the news. Back in school, I spend an hour reading through it every day.

Gender double standard mixed with a little bit of white knighting plus a dash of cisgender and heteronormative privilege steeped in a roux of imperialism. YOU ARE PRIVILEGE SOUP.
Not really. You do recognize that it is weird internal discontinuity and thats a really good thing.

Gross.
I like Lehrer and I understand his song is satirical, but the parental backlash against 'new math' makes me bristle.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
Let me cough on that for you.
Just so we can share something.

You could figure out the answer to the pun pretty quickly, then just use that to answer the worksheet.

No!

Also, I am really hungry.

Chills. Fucking chills.
