Woke Math mandatory for grade 9 - Ontario

[basketcase]

They are getting away from teaching students fundamentals and first principles that have been taught over the past 70 years and what put people on the moon without powerful super computers.
...

You men like vector algebra and calculus? Because those have such a high level of utility for most people.

I'm fully on board with having those as options for people interested in math-focused areas but why do we insist on wasting everyone else's time with transformations of trig functions when they could be learning money management and understanding statistics.

time to homeschool your kids or send them to private schools

Pretty sure home-school and private schools still have to follow the provincial curriculum.

It is a course description, there is no meat in there to go ape shit over, it is like jerking off to the box art of a porno tape.

But you don't know this because you just believe the title, a couple of vague article and uninformed comments.

Actually it's because I don't really care much.

I rage against covidiots for example but even I found be uncomfortable with making their antics illegal. If as a society like that, mooks such as those can actually go mainstream than we deserve that we get. I don't like this planet anymore I want to leave.

I am old enough for mags to have been my main go to. Don't be putting down fapping to box art. Hell when I was first hitting puberty I'd fap to the Sears catalog... hell I'd fap to the memory of the sears catalog. Box art would be a set up.

Well then Adios Amigo.

I wish it was that easy. I'd love to put the whole political and covid sections on ignore.

I hope this means that 2 + 2 is still 4 but that they will not just mention people like Pythagoras but also non-Europeans who contributed to mathematics.

Its Gold Star mathematics

2+2=4 but you only know this because your ancestors owned slaves

2+2=5 ok well close enough as you are the descendant of a slave

''Minister Lecce previously announced the new curriculum will bring early math streaming to an end, a practice he says created barriers for racialized and historically marginalized groups.''

Huh?......

Blacks dont do as well as whites and therefore cant get into universities

Natives dont do as well as asians

etc

Barrier to education is basically certain groups are in no ways dumber than others but the fact they score poorly on tests shows our tests are in some way biased

Nevermind the fact things such as math dont exactly have much room to interpret as the answers are absolute

 

[SQUAD51]

The Muslim Arabs gave us zero!!! And algebra!!! We gotta ban using both!! We need Christian zeros and maths!

Don't forget the numbers! We are currently using ARABIC numbers, (holy numerology Batman, when did this all happen?!?!)
We need to get back to Roman Christian numbers.
READY?
II + II = IV
IV x VII = XXVIII
XC / IX = X

So you think BLM should be illegal.
You know for pushing the idea that cops go about murdering black men when it almost never happens by their own examples and statistically Blacks are 2.5 times more likely to be killed by a pig but also 2.5 times more likely to engage in violent non lethal crimes [and even more so murder] and thus the numbers are what one would expect in world without systemic racism.

Hey hey hey, let’s not let data and statistics sway a narrative here.

if we want to be more specific, poor people commit more crimes. people in areas of greater population density and poverty will commit violent crimes. ethnicity is representative in those statistics as a direct correlation of population within the socioeconomic demographic.

of note, domestic homicides are invariably dominated by whites.

but again, we can’t let stats run the headlines here.

When I was in school, subjects like Calculus were optional. Did that change?

Really?
Where does it say that?

This is 9th grade math. Pre-calculus maybe as an advanced course. Algebra and Geometry mostly.

Are SAT (and IQ) tests racist>
Race gaps in SAT scores highlight inequality and hinder upward mobility (brookings.edu)

No its not anymore you get fired for that talk

The progressive lefties just ignore the insanity as long as their agendas are being pushed forward! Just let the chips fall where they may no matter what are new reality is as long as they are in power

This is a Ford goverment agenda. Fords a lefy now?

The main message of this post is that schools are becoming indoctrination camps and not a place that encourages learning, development and fostering constructive free thoughts, discussions and critical thinking. It’s basically programming and shaming and fostering fear, division, and hate in kids and injecting these toxic ideologies from all sides and opportunities.

Yeonmi Park risked her life to flee North Korea only to see the same techniques being applied here. She faced life and death situations that many here can’t even imagine and now is telling you what she seems, but many ignore and enable this level of indoctrination to occur in our schools and education systems. These are just the beginning injection ports. These are just the beginnings of what’s coming. These are exploits to inject the malware, and you guys are just letting it happen without question to your provincial government and giving them complete freedom to indoctrinate your kids with ideology especially in places like math where is should only be objective first principles thinking and free from subjective thought policies. Then you pay them all these taxes to keep fucking you and taking your rights and freedoms away.

A North Korean defector who attended Columbia said even the regime she grew up in “was not this nuts” after she got a taste of “woke” indoctrination.

What did the Romans ever do for maths? Very little

Despite advances in many areas, Romans were happy with mathematical rules-of-thumb
