It’s absolutely crazy. You were mentioning dependence on calculators. This is where things can be bent into 2+2=5. If the calculator/computer says something, then it must be true! Without active screening, this stuff goes right under the noses of parents and grandparents. My husband got our grandkids a six sided table with a whiteboard finish and six little chairs. The table and chairs are well made, like the tables and chairs when I was in school in the ‘70s and ‘80s. The kids usually draw and color on it but I am now determined to teach them regular arithmetic, the easy way! These assignments they get want them to show their work. I’m going to suggest they do it like I show them and maybe their teachers will learn something.
I have one of those individual desks from back in the day with a sturdy metal frame - just like when I was a kid. By all means, teach them the old ways. They will hate it now but will thank you when they get older. The teachers however, I think are a lost cause.
I actually think they’re going to be happy with anything that makes sense. The more I think about it, this has to be purposely done so that the future generations can’t begin to understand higher math. Pair that with the frequency tweaks in music, and these guys will be confused beyond what we can comprehend. Yes, I think that as we relearn everything we’ve been taught, the kids will be right there with us, helping research and find the truth. Exciting times!
