[USA] UC-Berkeley math prof says she has to teach fractions to calculus students because standards have fallen so far

[Sideshow Bob]

It was largely Covid mandates, belief that SAT preparations put those from poor socioeconmic backgrounds at a disadvantage (irrespective of skin colour) as well as misplaced trust in school scores. Nothing woke about that.

This is a forum where whites are considered excellent mathematicians as soon as they are 5 year old, poor or not. That is why you see hordes of scientists from apartheid period winning Nobel prizes in STEM, you see.

And now, they don't because of BEE laws.

Lol... Whites this... Whites that..
Always the same twaddle from Bobsy boy...

 

[saor]

Fractions are harder than calculus.

How is string theory going along, boytjie ? World is waiting for your superior aryan genes to do something useful for once.

Fractions are harder than calculus.

That's but a fraction of your imagination.

This is why some universities like MIT and Yale have reinstated standardized testing.

Trump is "yugely successful" in all his businesses, you see. And he built everything from scratch without any help from anyone.

On the other hand, Zuma received all the help from ANC & Zuptas.

He is so yugely smart that he even let the house lose with his casinos.

Who cares? AI is coming like a tsunami.

That makes understanding basic math more important not less.

People are already over overused AI slop.

This is why some universities like MIT and Yale have reinstated standardized testing.

And some give negative points to East Asians to make things more fair.

It has little to do with "woke"

The dumbing down of the US education system has been a long term problem.
There are places where they teach anti-science bible stuff as fact, the DEI issues are just the cherry on top.

Not really true.

You sound like Champ and the government. You can sketch the most beautiful pictures, talk the talk and BS all day long.
But you cant hide the potholes. You cant hide the crime rate. You cant hide the drolle floating down the rivers, and and and.

You can actually Google what South Africans achieved. Pretty empressive.

 

[saturnz]

it used to be

"you do calculus to fail algebra"

now

"you do calculus to fail fractions"

but in saying that the unit circle is tricky when doing calculus

 

[Nerfherder]

Not really true.

Which AI bot gave you this and what was the prompt.

Bible in the classroom has been an ongoing issue for the last 70 years.

I agree with the "real root causes" but they all tie in to what I said... anti science in the school

There are issues with this on both the right and the left. Calling this a woke problem is a recency fallacy.

Amazing man. How do you Jews do it ? Is your IQ 170+ or what ?

Would be great if Yahweh could send some of those Nobel winners to the forums. We seem mostly stuck with the "ignobel" ones.

We have 2 authentic jews here @GrootVoet and @Jet-Fighter7700

I am sure we will see Nobel prize soon.

That's an awful lot of pressure to put on @GrootVoet
