It’s Not Just Writing: Math Needs a Revolution, Too
5th November 2012
Today’s fashion is to throw away the textbook and to teach kids to think like mathematicians. The problem? They’re not learning how to do actual math.
No shit. The problem with the theories being taught in Ed schools these days is that they’re trying to teach teenagers skills that are appropriate to college and graduate students. As a result, kids graduate from High School not knowing basic facts and skills.

Basic math? Meh. Soon we will have USB ports in our heads which will do that for us.
The Singularity is coming. Prepare yourself.
