I denouce the Math Educational system

Grade 10 and 11th Math are now required to have a scientific graphical calculator. Cost: 75$ at least. WTF is that crap?

Seriously, I tutor still for kicks just to get my brain in check. However, I find the system a bit to lax. What is this "your not dumb ur just the last winner". Forget this. Im old school, do a long division that is 2 pages long with 8 decimal numbers.

Should a kid be held back for not doing well in math? No, but it doesnt mean you have to fool the poor kid that he is doing well when he aint!!!

As i always said "If your going to lie to me, lie to me well" (this is originally a quote that i used when i saw how films are made with wire. SCREW THAT I want to pretend they can do those stuff dont show it to me)

  1. Maybe they need a system where they can estimate for themselves how good (or bad) they are without people telling them.

    A tiny example of that are these long division worksheets, with which they can evaluate themselves in that specific area.
