It's the way most people who are 'good at math' do it in their heads, anyway. It's a good change, but change is confusing and scary.
Which means smart students can't excel anymore. Very hosed up system, taking away the one advantage smart kids have, while doing nothing about the advantages other kids have.

They need to add various hormones to kids to equalize them physically, now that they're doing it mentally.

It is, I don't want to say "should" but this is pretty close to how you should do addition in your head. This will also help build a foundation when moving forward when you layer the next math concept on: If 6+5 is the same as 6+4+1 then when you do subtraction you can also make it more manageable. 11-5 is the same as 11-1-4. And also you're ready for algebra notation because you're already using an order of operations, mentally making it (6+4)+1

This really pisses me off because splitting things up and making it simpler for myself was what came naturally to me and would get me "6/10, didn't show work" marks unless I did it in my head and worked backwards and wrote it all down the way we were supposed to. I'm not some mathematical prodigy or "and that kid was Einstein" genius, that's just how it made sense to me and I resented the implication that anyone who didn't write it all out the hard way was just cheating and hiding it.

I am super skeptical of western media coverage of covid in general and China's policies on it in particular, because the vast majority of it is just straight up lies

https://twitter.com/AndyBxxx/status/1605060842084397056
Western coverage of anything in China is generally crap, but to go with a glaring example, it didn't help that Chinese state media released English versions of like saying "we're testing and considering implementing a social credit system that penalizes undesirable behavior" while omitting the part where the Chinese language version continued with what amounted to "but at this point we're only using it to prohibit rich assholes who underpay workers or charge excess interest on loans from taking luxury flights and train rides." There's a huge language barrier to overcome, and it's not likely that the average native English speaker/reader will become fluent in Chinese or that the average native Chinese reader/speaker will become fluent in English. Beyond that, people in power will tend to use that language barrier to their advantage both internally and externally, and it's difficult enough to distinguish between facts and propaganda in your own native language, it's just an unfortunate obstacle to media literacy that we all have to deal with.

possibly, but americans make it even worse. every time there's a story about a professor being a petty, entitled dipshit who goes out of their way to gently caress with their students it's always a loving yank.

we had a woman from the us who had to teach entry-level algebra as part of her employment contract while she was doing research here and man did she get unreasonably angry and snippy when students just used her first name instead of "Professor <Lastname>".
