      No one is saying that small children need to all spend the time and effort required to be bilingual in English and Farsi But becoming conversant with the *concept of multiple languages* is absolutely vital, yes

      A kid isn't fully educated if they don't fully grok the concept that there's nothing inherently funny about the syllable "barf" just because it means one thing in English and a different thing in a different language

      This isn't about being "sensitive" or "not hurting people's feelings" this is about *not being stupid* Or, as we call it, cultural competence You are advocating *being stupid* (being completely used to one particular system of symbols and unable to think on a level above them)

      It is very easy to be stupid, Americans in particular who rarely get challenged on matters of cultural competence are particularly prone to it -- "I don't have an accent, I talk normally" -- and it is in the long run very dangerous and very harmful

      Do Americans not have a social studies or geography class where they study other cultures? If they do, and that class is failing, why use math class to teach this? # finishing school without basic math and eng. literacy is staggering. You'd have them run before they can crawl?

      Nice cop out. I have not studied math beyond high school Calculus. But I do teach high school kids. So I know what is practicable, and what they need. And pushing dumb ideas like replacing useful math skills with cultural posturing drags down their success.

      No, I think you're obviously conflating what you're equipped to teach and what you can easily show improvement on in various metrics with some objective understanding of "what students need to know"

      I'm equating learning solid fundamentals in a variety of subjects and skills to having a wider array of choice for career path and educational pursuits. If half of kids graduate and can't do basic math, that's terrible. Sorry kids, you can't be engineers, accountants, architects

      I wonder if this guy has ever read the classic text "A Mathematician's Lament" by Paul Lockhart I think everyone should read it, even if they have absolutely no interest in math, it generalizes fairly well to all school subjects https://www.maa.org/external_archive/devlin/LockhartsLament.pdf …

          It’s so much of this - do we want to teach math, or do we want to train students to execute a handful of algorithms by rote under certain assumptions

          And people get so angry when their assumptions break down, because they are often not taught that they’re there at all. Thus the trolly debates about if .9999...=1
