Once Upon A Crocodile

"...when I first started school that the government at the time invested a lot into early primary #literacy. Once a week, we would be taken to this huge room full of #readers and volunteers would read with us. I had grown up hearing my mother tell me and my brother #stories but to get this at school too simply blew my young mind..."

Capitalism has never been a death cult, but a murder cult.

Now it's ramped up with ignorance and fear and the #dunningkrugereffect

Yeah, 54% of American adults read at the grade 6 level or lower.

This affects critical thinking, moral philosophy, and media analysis skills.

Thanks Reagan.

📢 The skies are falling! You might have realized by now that we are in the middle of an apocalypse, but you probably haven't identified its cause correctly. It is the decline of #mathematics #education that has put the human culture in peril 🛸

I stumbled upon this article while researching how to write about #mathematics for non-mathematicians. Did it help? No. Was it a good giggle? Absolutely 😁

SpringerLinkThe Skies Are Falling: Mathematics for Non-Mathematicians - Doklady MathematicsAbstract Mathematical education, both mass education, and university education of non-mathematicians, are in an abominable state, and rapidly degrading. We argue that the instruction of non-mathematicians should be dramatically reformed both as substance and style. With traditional approach, such a transformation would take decades, with unclear results. But we do not have this time. The advent of Computer Algebra Systems gives the mathematics community a chance to reverse the trend. We should make a serious attempt to seize this opportunity. In the present paper we describe one such project of reform implemented at the St Petersburg State University.

“My biggest worry is that behavioral change is leading to cultural change. As we spend time on our screens, we’re abandoning a value that used to be pretty central to our culture — the idea that you should work hard to improve your capacity for wisdom and judgment all the days of your life. That education, including lifelong out-of-school learning, is really valuable.”
