Aw gawd NO!!!!!!!
 
No, it's not correct at all. I don't see how any politician could agree that math is racist.
Anything beyond the number ten requires intelligence therefor racist. True. I just put it more bluntly than their bullshit pc description of why and how.
 
Something about giving kids math problems to solve, is imposing white values on them. I guess You’d have to ask the big brains who thought that up though, because I sure don’t know. Just more politically correct bullshit.
They need math. How else will they know if they got the right amount on their welfare cheques.

C'mon now....don't judge. Those folks were probably on their way to a job interview when their white privilege ran out, suddenly, without warning. They had to wait for the momentary lapse to pass...in the park....
 
As a kid, I spent a lot of time in Daytona Beach in the 60's. Man, have things gone down the toilet.

We're now fully into the phase where kids that had limited accountability are now adults, raising children that have almost no accountability, and are shaping social engineering to make it even worse.. (I'm sorry, 'national conversations' they call it)

Saw a news story where a couple of kids got lunch at school, the cafeteria workers then re-claimed the meals due to parent(s) hadn't kept money in their balance. Kids were embarrassed and now don't want to return to school. Parent wants schools to be more considerate of their kids and not embarrass them. (I'm not a monster, yes it was surely embarrassing).

But the school then details their system, which contacts parents several times before the balance gets low.

Could the school have handled it better? Sure. But...

How do you explain to a parent that won't understand that THEY are the ones that embarrassed their kid, not the school?

Let's bring back *real* lunch money, let the kids learn to fight bullies to keep it, and have them grow up being able to take care of themselves!

Oh, but that has unfortunately become the American Way...... never your fault, always someone else’s. Never take blame for your decisions! Pretty sad if you ask me.
 
I mean, just the EOG scores of a kid that this Gen X'er is raising.
My son also has several game systems, so let's stop claiming that video games are ruining kids.

My wife works in my sons school. It's a private school none the less. Until you embarrass the **** out of the kids, the parents do absolutely nothing. It isn't until, quoting Carlin here, their "precious little cult item" gets their feeling hurt are they motivated to get involved.

It depends on the parental control and the kid's USE of gaming.
Video games are distraction in developing the necessary life skills to be a productive person. More gaming=Less reality.

He does quite a lot of gaming... Like a few hours daily... but he also reads actual books. He's also into coding, arts/crafts/creation, and occasionally stresses over the finite amount of time he (and everyone else) has left on the planet. He's annoyed by common-core education, because "it just overcomplicates a simple process" (his words) and "makes kids lose interest in learning, because it creates an unneccessary amount of added stress to life."

Oh, he's 8.

Then he sounds like a good kid and you are monitoring (raising) him well.
 
Video games replaced the parent.

Cuz mom (dad) pick up the phone/laptop too. Facebook sure has'nt helped a damn thing. I don't care how much they say social media is "good".
 
so let's stop claiming that video games are ruining kids.

It's not really about the games, devices or software. It's about people, and lazyness, lack of care. We are carnuts, you and me. I encourage my family to get as much involvement as they can, with me, and I try to to be interested/involved in whatever interests them. Always have, even if it's video games lol.

I like cars, but I live in an area where it's too hot and there are too many mosquitos to work on a car in the summer, and I no longer have an old car to work on, so my main hobbies are firearms, and technical stuff like 3D Printing, Android Development, playing guitar, and at 38 years old- even video games.

The down side is, I don't have much time to do anything unless I stay up late. Up at 4am to get ready for work, home at 5pm, eat dinner, chat with the wife, maybe catch a few episodes of a show or watch a movie, then bed my 9pm- unless I dare go into my print room, and I end up working on something til 11pm and feel like crap the next day.
