Not using math won’t change economic reality

Cypress said:
A lot of professional educators think math needs to be taught differently, with a more holistic focus on statistics and applied mathematics.

The traditional four year linear track we took going from algebra to geometry to trig to calculus always felt a little piecemeal to me and it was hard sometimes to piece it all together in real world application.

There is alot of variation in human brains


Pretending all brains are math centered is no way to teach a subject you want more humans to learn

It’s in fact a path for failure

You have to give education money if you want Americans to be educated
The republicans say we need to starve education to death
Why?
Because republicans want the people uneducated

And there you have it folks! The results of a pubic education! :awesome:

I think a dual track would be best. This is used in Germany, for example, where students are grouped into those going to college and into STEM, students going into trades, and those just getting through high school.

The college track works like the US version does-- Algebra, to trig, to calculus. The trades and skilled jobs track is algebra to trig then trade maths that can be applied. The "other" group gets algebra and basic math skills that can be applied.

They recognize, as many countries do, not every kid is going to college so they try to get them the best education they can deal with rather than a one-size-fits-all, you need to go to college curricula like the US generally applies.

Fuck you evil turd


You can’t learn let alone understand how to teach

Most people outside engineering and science don't need calculus.

Everyone can benefit form statistics and probability theory.
 
Mainstream economists generally reject modern-day Austrian economics, and argue that modern-day Austrian economists are excessively averse to the use of mathematics and statistics in economics.[82] Austrian opposition to mathematization extends to economic theorizing only, as they argue that human behavior is too variable for overarching mathematical models to hold true across time and context. Austrians do, however, support analyzing revealed preference via mathematization to aid business and finance.[83]

Wait… It’s the conservatives who are advocating the watering down of math in our public schools? I missed that. Thanks for straightening that out for me.

Didnt you hear? MATH is RACIST! And they wonder why we not only laugh at them but BELLY LAUGH AND POINT! :laugh:

So you do hate all education
What is the Austrian school of economics
Why can’t you EVER REMEMBER what it is even though your party has used that shit for decades ?

At least I can make grammatically correct sentences with punctuation... That failing of yours aside, what do you find so egregious about the Austrian School? I would think that advocacy of individualism in a free market using real-world applied mathematics to obtain profitability is a viable economic theory. It makes far more sense than Marx, Engles, or Mao made with respect to their theories of economics.

Its called the Austrian School of Economics you uneducated Rube.

How the fuck do you do economics without math?

I dunno... I'd guess it's like you do at the grocery store or dispensary for your pot, just wave your EBT SNAP card of debt card at the little box and if the transaction goes through it's all good... Maybe we could dub your method the "Single wide school of economics."

Why does the right refuse the reality that math really can aid in figuring out and managing our economy?


Because they want a crash and boom economy where the populace is kept in poverty


And the WEALTHY constantly rape our system

It's not about putting the dumb kids in easier math tracks.

Its about making a mathmatics education up to date with the 21st century.

We are still using a 300 year old model of math education- a unidirectional linear piecemeal track from algebra to geometry to trig with the goal of a crowning achievement in the Calculus

Statistics and probability weren't even fully established mathmatical disciplines until the 19th century.

It was never emphasized at the high school and college level.

Professional engineers and scientists I worked with had to take remedial statistics and probability at work, because it wasn't a core component of public education at the time, and we needed it for our jobs.

A lot of educators think that 300 year old model of math education simply needs to be updated and reconfigured to represent 21st century reality.
