Should Math Be Taught In Schools?

[rabenschnabel]

If you don't get it you should also watch this one (stupidity warning):

[Claudius Gothicus]

What the is this ?

Math is one of the key knowledges needed to amplify abstract reasoning and also live through the crap load of real life problems... what the ?

[Logik]

I swear where are these people from.They cannot be of this planet.What a bunch of idiots.

On a related note, a recent study entitled "Evolution, Creationism, and the Battle to Control America's Classrooms" from Penn State University about biology classes in US High Schools found that 13 percent of biology teachers "explicitly advocate creationism or intelligent design by spending at least one hour of class time presenting it in a positive light." Around 60% wanted to avoid controversy and didn't advocate one or the other.
That is a serious problem, and many of the girls in the video are examples of that. "Teach everything and let the kids decide, we're smarter than ever" and yada yada yada. Seriously, nevermind the fact that 13% of the biology teachers teach against 40 years of court rulings, but the 60% are a bigger concern imo, because they equate the two, the scientific theory and it's nonscientific alternatives, and give the impression they're both perfectly reasonable.

Dude it was a parody. Remember when the Miss Universes or whatever were asked whether or not a Science topic should be taught in school. Most of them said they believe in the Bible and Science is the devils work.

which considering the bibles views on how women should be treated is odd to say the least.

Well... it's not like I could actually care to see the video. I needed to rage

[AdamWeishaupt]

The first clip is funny.
The second clip is surprising.

[Lord Romanus III]

... wut? Do they not realize that it is taught in public schools? Evolution, that is.

[Jingo Eugene]

Yes.
No...

MAYBE!

I have this theory that people are like RPG characters. These dumbs clearly dumped all their points into hotness and neglected intelligence.

Let's not forget the politicians who invest points in charisma over intelligence.

If the 14% statistic is true, that's disgusting. It's not like there are no other groups that you can visit on a weekly basis that teach that rubbish. Keep science classes scientific.

In case people didn't realize: The 2 minute video is a parody of the 14 minute debate on Evolution. The 2 minute one was a joke, they were not seriously questioning the validity of math; the creators wanted to show the logical incoherencies made in arguments against Evolution.

I am surprised at how many people in the real one actually did say that it should be taught (though 90% of these people said "...alongside creationism, and I don't personally believe in evolution.") I love the person who said "Because there are plenty of examples of evolution...like...with communities evolving and people becoming involved with their communities, which grow and evolve." Only one person (Miss Vermont) seemed to know what Evolution even was.

Noooo, don't explain the joke.

The people of Vermont can be very proud. Miss Vermont is good looking and smart.

Anything can be expected from such beauty pageant girls...

The more i read stuff like this (cant watch the video's atm) the more im glad i somehow managed to go to a great school.

Ha I thought this was going to be a real debate about the need for more flexibility in national curriculums and what should be taught beyond basic skills in literacy, numeracy and articulation.

Fooled I tell y'all! Fooled.

NOW that would be interesting. I'd have to advocate including at least basic national and international history, and familiarity with the sciences.

how is it that these women possess physical traits that increase their chances of passing on their genes to the next generation, when they are obviously genes coding for stupidity and dumbarsery as well?

"Math is a theory, it's not what the Bible tell us" - stopped watching there....
