@St_Rev@politicalmath@ClarkHat I agree. The problem was incorrectly worded. it should have explicitly referenced estimation. -
@St_Rev@politicalmath@ClarkHat I think most kids would have understood and applied (and explained!) the estimation method they'd learned. -
@St_Rev@politicalmath@ClarkHat ... but those who failed to understand what was /implicitly/ being asked should not be penalized. -
@St_Rev@politicalmath@ClarkHat But I think the outrage is from people not even understanding what was /implicitly/ being asked, or why. -
@random_eddie My outrage is at knowing what was implicitly being asked and how badly it was executed. -
@random_eddie I know because I wrestled professionally with precisely this issue for years. -
@St_Rev@random_eddie You were a professional wrestler? Awesome. -
@Spivonomist@random_eddie ALSO that.
