This is the dumbest "take" I've ever seen. His argument was clearly that the socialist states of North Europe have a smaller divide in social inequality than the United States, and that US schools aren't inherently failing, but rather that social issues are overriding education, while the national argument is about curriculum and teachers and so on. There's a reason you cut most of his post out of your edit, you turd.

Edit: And there's a reason why you edited your own edit, again. Haha!

Um, there are (sadly) poor people there also. And bad schools, but sometimes it's because of lovely funding in a rich municipality (most taxation in Sweden is at the municipal level and schools are funded there as well).

Here's some data about inequality. Despite inequality existing in Sweden, Sweden is actually one of the most equal countries. We were discussing the education system in the United States, which is an extraordinarily unequal country, to a degree that if you are a Swedish citizen, you probably don't even begin to comprehend how shocking the inequality truly is here. Are you a foreigner that does not understand the context, or are you a disingenuous US troll?

South Park created this entire loving concept of "if it annoys liberals, it must be good" that is the sole remaining unifying principle the right wing has left. Why on earth would you be amazed by them being relevant?

When the guy tweeting it is POTUS, has no respect for democratic norms, has a large number of violent supporters, and it's barely a month after one of his party's congressmen literally choke-slammed a reporter on the day of his special election then proceeded to outperform polls and win by seven points?

I've had had over a dozen jobs over the course of twenty years and literally every HR boss in every company I've worked at has been an overweight forty something woman with a bad haircut and dye job who speaks in a in the most overtly chipper yet hollow customer servicey voice possible. I have never seen any of these women have a genuine social interaction with a coworker. If I ever saw one of them on a date somewhere it would probably weird me out more than when I was a kid and and I'd run into one of my teachers at the supermarket.

Edit: And they all have this weird sorta dark, about to snap, vibe around them. It's hard to explain. Like I would be surprised if they were the kind of psychos that babysit actual babies and say mean things to them and pinch them when they cry.

And probably just about every case. We want the overwhelming majority of them to retreat and repudiate every goddamn thing they ever said. Maybe not the movers and shakers who can lick their wounds and devise a new strategy, but the random losers who sign on?

It's part of how the KKK got broken. edit: maybe not the repudiation part in the KKK's case, but absolutely the slinking off into the shadows

The KKK being broken was because of government undercover stings and the ability to sue all of them for what a few did in federal court

I guess my point is what works for you you shouldn't assume would work for everyone else.

You're absolutely right. And that's why Common Core provides a number of approaches, from the conceptually very simple to the more elegant but conceptually difficult. Kids can not only use a variety of approaches, but what approach they use (and whether they do it right) also gives teachers a better understanding of where each child has a particular conceptual problem so that they can address it. The problem is that parents and a lot of teachers only see "those weird problems" (which can also stem from poor implementations), so they grumble about kids learning the number line, or adding two and then six to eight to get sixteen "instead of just knowing that eight and eight is sixteen" instead of recognizing that the number line is how a lot of them do more complicated mental math.

So no, I'm not saying that everyone learning factoring needs to learn it the way I did. I'm saying -- and Common Core math is saying -- that it's one tool to approach the problem among many, and that the more mental tools we provide to children the better their understanding of the material.
