Forcing maths on the population is straight out of China's playbook
Anarchists want your kids to be illiterate and unwashed because they think "literacy and sewers are problematic", 'Google Bookchin' more like 'Garbage Bullshit'
The most useful maths I ever learned I learned between the ages of five and nine
JOURNOS LMAO
attempts to force maths down my throat and have it digested as meaning something other than terror and confusion – and there were a great many attempts – came to little.
Capitalism is unable to teach kids how an apple falls to the earth or any basic phenomena. They need wage slaves to be blind to the Matrix
This is a pointless and unpleasant idea. Unpleasant because for those who struggle with maths, it is a deeply humiliating, fruitless process being made to do it to a level beyond the basic. And they will never remember it as anything other than hell - in short, it’d put them off for life.
the exact same soy "uwu bad mental health" DSA rhetoric used by the /r/stupidpol hero Freddie deBoer, whose book is about Malthusian eugenics for those (((low iq ghettofied kids))) that should be doing child labor in Hyundai factories or whatever. That's true dignity, actually you're the real nazi for hurting their feelings uwu (soy fascist crying intensifies)
These days, it is unclear exactly what purpose all those years of forced maths would be. Anyone can turn to an iPhone or Google for fast calculations
NPC mindset
the benefits of maths and numeracy are hardly kept secret
(nervous PMC death cultist pulling at their priest-class collar) "haha we aren't part of the exact same same closed-off religious clergy who kept Europe in a dark age for 1000 years! Actually you can take part in our orthodoxy very easily, there are no barriers haha..." :scared:
Any pupil knows that if they want to become affluent, they’ll probably need maths – all banking, management consultancy, IT and insurance jobs
British can only conceive of careers like being satanic kulaks/holocaust technicians, finance imperialist nazi country
It’s not Rishi’s job to decide it for them. Britain is meant to be a society where individualism can flourish,
Ah, there's the anarcho-neoliberalism I've come to recognize from these woke Liz Warren PMC at OWS/BLM/The CHAZ. "Biden is racist to ban menthols, we need individual freedom for those 40000 black working class consumers in the free market killed by cancer each year" :dsa:
In the Soviet Union or China, enforced maths for all might have been de rigeur, but here in Blighty, those who like or want to pursue digits should have every encouragement,
"true Marxism is free association between free producers" the same PMC anti-communists who say this also say "consent is given in sex work, it's not rape" so I think its fair to just dismiss them as Soros class traitors just like the ones who successfully "smashed the Stalinist state" in Ukraine. How's your illiterate teen trafficking program going, Epstein adjacent redditors? You're big mad at Russia for ruining it I bet, Putin is the REAL fascist!!! :epstein:
I worked as a substitute teacher for a while. This story will sound fake or I misread the situation, but it happened. It was a rowdy math class, poor school district, kids who were largely disinterested and I couldn't blame them. They seemed to fundamentally understand their lives at the moment were a stage in the school to prison pipeline. Half the kids had parents in jail.
I was trying to get them to focus on the lesson, just kinda basic 9th grade algebra, but it was a rowdy class. I was the substitute after all. Several of them hit me with the line, "We'll never need to know this." So I tried explaining maybe they'd work on spaceships one day. Statistically they're all disadvantaged, but I thought I'd be considerate. That seemed to turn them around actually, a few of them started asking me how that was possible, how to get a job at NASA, etc. They were actually really curious after that.
I think kids would do a lot better in school if they felt a reason to do it, or if curiosity were rewarded. Kids don't yet have the full arsenal of neoliberal ideology in their heads, they only know what they see and what they're told. Ghouls like this Telegraph journalist only see the future in terms of making more ghouls. I think kids are aware of that, they feel alienated from their own futures. They're aware adulthood is only lived in terms of serving capitalist profit, or just going to jail.
