If showing work and the written word are white supremacy what does that say about non-whites?

Math equity

What is that even supposed to mean?

That they're more fucking retarded than dogs and laboratory rats were ever assumed to be, but have human supremacists who are there to make excuses for their lack of mental abilities. And even goddamn bees can do math.

Seriously, a non-human appears to fail a test? Haha, man is the measure of all things. A fucking nigger fails? Oh, whyte supremacy.

Frankly, I found I understood it better as I got older. Couldn't grasp most of it as a kid, except for fractions, which everyone else always seems to have a hard time at. Took an adult refresher course about 20 years ago, but I think I've forgotten most of it again.

A fucking chimp can remember numbers better than basically any human, but we still don't claim the test is wrong.

Yeah, basic numbers-wise, we fall in the lower half of primates for math. So saying you do basic multiplication like a chimpanzee is actually a compliment.

It's been a 50 year effort to undermine and delegitimize quantifiable hard sciences by nonsensical efforts to improve grades on underperforming students by blaming everything else but the actual work and effort being put in by the students themselves.

Or put another way: keep the children retarded to that they grow up into bio-leninist slaves and no one is smart enough to know that you've destroyed science to achieve political power.

It's been this way from the days of "New Math"

Remember that Simpsons episode where the school split into girls only and boys only?? Lisa, the liberal, was glad for it.. but then realize that instead of learning math, the girls were "feeling" math. She sneaks off to the boy only side to learn math.

Implying they're not spiritually Jewish. Or maybe it's the other way around? Jews are spiritually Chinese? Hmmmm

Really, we're gonna go with the Marxist argument that the Chinese are greedy and are therefore "internally circumcised"?

Asking students to show their work is for the benefit of the student: it lets the student get marks even if they make a mistake. For example, if you forgot to convert from centimeters to meters before performing a calculation you might lose one mark for making that mistake and letting the teacher see where you went wrong, instead of losing all your marks because you failed to provide evidence that you almost got the right answer.

It ALSO helps you learn from your mistakes. How can you fix what you did wrong, if you don't know what you did wrong in the first place?

That makes perfect sense. If anything, multiple choice are a load of crap, a lot of the problems can be backtracked from answers. I've even had a teacher that told us to do exactly that if we are stuck.

Way back when, longer now than it seems... I had an algebra university class with an all multiple choice final exam.

...I got zero answers wrong on the final. And anyone who did get anything wrong deserved to fail, honestly. Because when your question is "what is X in this equation:", and then it DOESN'T MATTER THE EQUATION, because you can just fill it in with every multiple choice answer and see which works via trial and error.

"Teacher's need to understand rather than student's learning."

DERP If the teacher can't assess your performance how will she help teach you?

Heck let's abolish all homework and tests too!

I know that nothing makes sense in clown world and the left no longer cares about logic or racism as long as they get to virtue signal but how the fuck can they get to this point without anyone realizing how racist this idea is.

How can you make this claim without simultaneous making the claim that black people are somehow dumber. I sometimes have hope in humanity and then I read shit like this and hope for giant meteors.

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.

So basically the department thinks that blacks are so fucking retarded and stupid that they can't even be trusted to learn math properly and must do it through god damn 5-second videos. Blacks are literally equivalent to lapdogs in their eyes.
