Math is just too abstract and non applicable to every day life for you to be able to force someone to use it. He's right.
99.99999% of people that ever lived and probably ever will live have done so without needing knowledge of sin cos or tan in thier life.

If you just want kids to do better in math in school however, then you have to make the school culture one in which doing well in school is the most important thing, and not anything else I guess. I dont know how

I don't understand this. Why are mid-IQs so obsessed with "educating" low-IQs? Education fetishism is a mental illness. Education should unironically be denied to anyone below 130.

So you're suggesting that 98% of the population is incompetent for anything but manual labor? On top of that, you're suggesting that education, which practically always includes standardized testing, would somehow convince idiots (who by the nature of being idiots do badly on these tests) that they're intelligent?

Something tells me that you wouldn't be one of those to receive education in your fantasy.

I'm suggesting there's nothing 98% of the population needs to be competent at that would justify "public education". They don't need anything beyond reading, writing and arithmetic. "Science" especially shouldn't be part of their curriculum.

What about people who would excel at older age? They would be filtered too early. I say if your model is really to be enforced, at least put some testing throughout the minimal public education to spot people who turn out to be competent later in life.

I don't care about your theoretical would-bes. If you're legitimately smart, determined and have something to show for it, do your best to study informally, seek tutelage, impress someone who can arrange a second chance for you. Losing the occasional genius to an imperfect filter is still vastly better than losing all of them thorugh an education system that gives people legitimate brain damage.

The nigger is right. Math beyond algebra, geometry, and basic stats is useless for a majority of people. We have computers now, so why the fuck would most modern day intellectuals need to memorize endless letter-number formulas if they aren't measuring particle physics?

Randomly learning French or Japanese. Understanding how circuitry or cars work. Studying chemistry. What do these all these have in common? They are all knowledge that have actual useful applications outside of a career. Yes, even learning a new language you will only use for a week is a better use of time than learning trig or calc.

It's not. Cuckservatives and leftards alike have been spouting this for over 80 years and wasted trillions of dollars on this assumption. The reality is that it's a racial problem, not a cultural problem. The research done in the last decade has irrefutably proven what we knew all along, which is that academic performance is largely genetic.

Policy decisions should be focussed on avoiding racial discrimination against outlier individuals (i.e. the original definition of racism), while promoting low skilled work opportunities for mixed race Africans. Trying to hit qoutas with AA, build role models, lying about history to pretend non-Whites can also do things etc. was never going to have the desired effect.

(Verse 1)
Woke up this mornin', with equations in my mind,
X's and Y's, coefficients hard to find.
Got them variables, constantly on the move,
Solve for 'x', got something to prove.

Algebra, ain't just about numbers,
It’s about expressions, sleep and blunders.
Squaring, factoring, quadratic in sight,
Hit it right, and the solution's tight.

(Chorus)
Algebra thuggin', in the streets of math,
Moving variables, feel its wrath.
Solve it, graph it, break it on down,
In the world of numbers, algebra's the crown.

(Verse 2)
Polynomials, stepping up the game,
Complex problems, never the same.
Linear, quadratic, cubic too,
If you're lost, I'll solve for you.

Y equals mx plus b, that’s the line,
Graph it once, and it'll shine.
Got them brackets, parentheses, ain't no joke,
Algebra's lit, watch the numbers evoke.

(Bridge)
Inequalities, got them greater than signs,
Algebraic thug life, crossing them lines.
From absolute values to the exponent's rule,
Keep it cool, algebra's the tool.

(Verse 3)
Factorization, breaking it all apart,
Find the zeroes, that's the art.
Expression on the left, equal to the right,
Balance it out, keep it tight.

Word problems got stories, tales untold,
Solve them right, watch the mystery unfold.
Multiplying binomials, using FOIL's creed,
Algebra, it's the seed you need.

(Chorus)
Algebra thuggin', in the streets of math,
Moving variables, feel its wrath.
Solve it, graph it, break it on down,
In the world of numbers, algebra's the crown.

(Outro)
From constants to coefficients, keep the rhythm alive,
Algebra's the game, where only the fittest survive.
Whether in a class or on the block, it’s all the same groove,
Step to algebra, show and prove!
