cc implementation will always be poo poo because it's been run through the magnificent for-profit engine of testing companies and consultants who are paid more for shuffling more poo poo around for no reason

living proof that yes, in fact, teaching kids to do busywork without complaint will be a useful life skill

mental math is cool though v|:^|v

dear canadian friend i hope you're looking forward to your kids getting 'discovery-based learning' now being implemented in a school near you, where the teacher is an 'architect of learning' that sets up 'opportunities for growth' and doesn't actually support or instruct because they're in 50-person classes

anyway lolling a thousand times over if every goddamn idiot defending CC if they really think the push is coming from CONCERNED EDUCATORS preparing students for the TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY and not from Pearson. follow the money~

idk what was my actual favourite thing in this thread: 18 pages of grown-rear end adults saying 'well that's how i do math in MY head, seems okay', or that it took that many pages for an actual developmental psychologist to be posted instead of polemic or stories about how MY undergrads were the dumbest

it was actually my undergrads, they were the dumbest. this is probably related to why every goddamn idiot in this thread doesn't know jack poo poo about dev psych what a coincidence

edit: i guess my third thing is learning that in america even math class is loving partisan, that's probably the Most Hilarious Thing
