Master Matthew: The Internet Enlightened.
What is the amazing era specifically you're speaking of?
2005-2015
F in the chat for the Free and Fair Internet.
Basically things I don't want my children "Learning":
Being a race is good/bad.
Being a love is good/bad.
loveual Education before they're of age. (I.E. teaching 2nd and 3rd graders about love. that is Verifiably Wrong)
America as an absolute evil
1619 bullstuff
Critical Theory in any form. Keep your Marxist stuff away from them.
Clout Chasing
Things I Do want my children Learning:
How to run a business
How to file taxes
How to think, not what to think.
Actual Math (Recently I found out why educators decided to go for Common Core, and believe me it's pretty damn stupid.)
A History Education path that kinda works like Santa Claus. (Basically, the rosy, sugar coated history for when they're too young to hear about bloody gore and too uninformed to understand taxes. Then when they're old enough, shatter it by bringing in harsh reality and having them face the question, which history is correct, when it comes to contested history.)
Science
loving COMPUTERS GOD DAMN (Enough stupid ass education board members when I was growing up thought that computers and the internet were a fad and were gonna go away, so I had to learn everything on my own. Dipstuffs)

The fundamental issue with common core math, that it forces kids to learn math horizontally instead of vertically, stems from a loving STUPID thought process.
So, way, way late down the line in Math. Like Math Major in College down the line, mathematics requires you to not only care about what orientation but what order addition and multiplication are done in.
Not like PEMDAS. Like multiplying 4*3 vs 3*4. So to instill that idea early, for a group of people that may NEVER use that level of math, they force the kids to use that while they're learning.
Problem: It's a stuffty way to learn. There's no better way of wording it, sorry.
I've learned People who are Doctorates or Masters in their fields, with the exception of education, understand JACK stuff about educating people about their field.
You can't just plop down a combustion engine in front of an aspiring engineer and expect them to understand how it works. But that's exactly what common core
math is doing. It's teaching kids to learn lower level math, while expecting them to use higher level tactics.
This kind of brainlet decision making is exactly why I'm against public schooling. Jackasses who blindly believe they know better make dumbforget decisions that cause more
harm than good.
In order to be a decent Math Teacher. You can't just be a Mathematician. You need to be an Educator with a background in Mathematics.
But someone, somewhere decided that they only need to ask the Mathematician what they need to do in teaching math, because they don't understand what
they're doing.
You ask a Scientist a question, they'll give you a scientific answer.
You ask a Mathematician a question, they'll give you a mathematical answer.
You ask an Educator a question, they'll give you an education.
A Leader understands that they need a diverse set of ideas to make a well informed decision.
And I mean diverse in the old sense, not the SocJus sense.
That sense of leadership is lost among a group of Incompetent and Corrupt politicians.
