The argument of “schools should control what kids learn” vs “parents should control what kids learn” is kind of wild to me because

(And hear me out here)

Maybe some teachers are shit at their jobs

And maybe some parents can’t even tell you what subjects their kid studies

So perhaps

(Hear me out)

Some kind of middle ground is needed

Yes, it should be me that decides what kids are taught

What’s your first declaration as Grand Education Wizard?

Ban maths past basic arithmetic before high school, teach algebra and it’s ilk as elective courses.

For me maths was mandatory until 16, what’s it like in America?

Mandatory. Period. End of. We have to take a maths course pretty much every year we’re in school.

College/University is only when it’s elective and even then, you still have to take one as part of your “General Education”.

Follow up question:

Then why is everyone on this site incapable of basic mathematics

A few of us have dyscalcula

The rest of us probably didn’t pay much attention/were too busy doodling eyes. Just like in English classes.

Also cause the teachers were shitty and abusive in a lot cases, so we didn’t pay attention because they were assholes who treated us like shit

That too

Or the teachers just plain didn’t know what they were talking about.

I had one math teacher who lamented that he didn’t understand why there were girls in his class, because in his estimation, we weren’t capable of understanding numbers.
Just one of a succession of STEM teachers who did what they could to dampen any interest in paying attention.

Today was a week in itself. Tomorrow morning, I spend with my doctor.

I could really use a vacation, preferably somewhere with waves.
