I have just discovered (during homeschooling) that my children are being taught at school that infinitely many numbers exist. Where do I have to send my petitions against this devastating creationist pre-Hilbertian falsehood?
For some reason the textbook author thought that it's very relevant how many spikes a hedgehog has, and how it's sad that they are going extinct, but they don't bother to explain how these two facts are related and why it's relevant to a 9yo.

Hmmm. I imagine the # of spikes vary, and the extinction issue is some subject other than math. Seems a lot to load onto the plate of a 9 yo.

It's hard to explain why the number of spikes matters. It's easy to see why it's relevant that animals go extinct because their environment favors different strategies. Also, why did Sega make Sonic so fast?
