Why Won’t Anyone Teach Her Math?
I can&#x27;t <i>teach</i> anyone anything. I have doubts that anyone else can do it, either; but can only speak to my own experience.<p>I can provide lots of assistance to those who are <i>trying to learn</i>.<p>We tell people &quot;Edumacation&quot; is going to happen to them whether they want it or not; and then they have to sign up for more &quot;or you&#x27;ll never have a good life&quot; etc. It seems that we&#x27;ve lost the reason <i>why</i> we do these things. It&#x27;s just empty ritual.<p>Things are this bad in famous, expensive upper class schools; imagine how bad they are in poor to normal elementary schools. We got kids with failing grades because they never got a (theoretically school provided) chromebook, never got a login to &quot;the homework sites&quot;, or can&#x27;t get reliable connectivity from home or school. They may or may not know the material they were supposed to learn but who cares about that? As long as the attendance records are good the school gets paid.
