That centers the teacher's need to understand rather than student learning

The student didn't learn shit if they just got the answer from fucking google.

They completely changed the way they teach math about 10 years ago now, with this 'common core', "number line" nonsense, and they did this with the express goal of hindering white and asian parents attempting to help their kids with homework.

I guess that STILL didn't give them the generation of black mathematicians they were hoping for, so now they're just openly saying 'let the black kids cheat'.

Which won't give them the generation of black mathematicians they were hoping for, either. Obviously.

I start to wonder if they do this shit on purpose. Because it's a surefire way to harm black people in the mid to long run.
