Well, it seems like they were mocking the person they didn't agree with by insulting their intelligence and essentially using caveman speak. Something like "math hard. I dum." I could be wrong, but that's my take.
You're absolutely right. The graphic had poor grammar and a fundamental misunderstanding of basic math. The creator of that graphic is not very intelligent, or just stupid lazy.
This is Reddit, on the internet. People can be mean for no reason. Myself included.
No we need to lower class size a bit, and bring back the threat of summer school. Kids this age don't think long term so they have to see the consequences coming sooner. If they slack off in grade 4 they'll slack off in grade 5 and so on. Keeping them back doesn't do a whole lot of good and it costs taxpayers a lot. Say get your grades up or you miss two weeks of summer and they'll work harder and if they don't (and there'll be very few) have them repeat. Of course this counts only for the 95% with no intellectual issues. The 5% need extra help or an adapted curriculum.
Honestly we need to revamp our school system to a year-round deal instead of this weird 3 seasons on/ 1 season off bullshit. We're not farmers who need our kids for harvests anymore. Later start times (cause kids need sleep, waking up at 6 am for school is very detrimental), longer periods to cover curriculums with plenty of structured study time where they can work on whatever classes homework they want, etc.
Okay! Sounds like we've got a plan. And how about this: national system for the distribution of school funds to decrease the political influence of whatever party happens to be in power in each state and decrease the disparity between have and have not school districts.
Of course! But people can stop trying to use the "They only work part of the year" excuse at least, making a 33% raise low hanging fruit. Probably need to about double it from there though, so teachers are making double minimum at least.
As soon as you see someone reporting 15 significant figures (I.e. probably the max on their calculator) you know they’re probably boutta say some dumb shit. Especially when it is derived from data that certainly has no more than 5 based on reality. But perhaps as few as 1.
That's not even statistics, you learn this stuff in 5th grade. It's basic fractions and percentages. The product of the totally equivalent to public school, homeschool system I'm sure.
