I've never heard a good argument about academics that began with complaints about rote memorization.

The right is going to be up in arms. Like with most things, it's probably going to be the poor children who suffer when their parents can't help them with their basic math problems because what the gently caress is this.

Kaedric posted:I majored in mathematics and ended up taking a physics course that I only attented the tests for. I didn't know the formulas that we were supposed to memorize, but the test had graphs on it showing what was going on in the problems, so I used calculus to solve them. I failed the test because I didn't write down the formula I used :I thats cool bro you're so special and unique. don't have to do all that lovely "busy work" like "attend class" that everyone else has to do cause you're so smart and cool.

That Milgram guy was saying that the common core standard for college readiness was passing Algebra II, and that he had to fight for them to change it from Algebra I. And that is bad.
