I think the REAL issue in this election should be math education

[XemaSab]

Even here, on this supposedly progressive, educated site, there are people who don't understand basic math.

:cry:

2. I noticed that as well

I want to believe that they are freepers just trying to get the reality based community here riled up. But then I see that the authors of many of these threads have over 1000 posts and have been members for a few years. It's very discouraging

3. That's very important to Baracks' platform

Math and Science have fallen behind in public schools. We have fell behind in leading other countries, and also fell behind in math with regard to who leads this nomination!

4. Let's just hope that "The Math" doesn't get used again!

5. Is there a math prerequisite for a Journalism degree?

Just wondering.

9. I was only required to have 6 credits in math to graduate and get my degree, which is...............

a journalism degree.

6. Disagree. I notice that, "even" here, reading comprehension is deplorable.

All else stems from one's ability to read and understand what one reads.

7. Most of the talking heads

Must've failed at math, that's why they went into journalism and not engineering I guess.

[Exilednight]

10. OUCH! n/t

[Raine]

8. I noticed that too...

math isn't something I excel at but even I can add up the numbers.

11. Upton Sinclair explained what the problem is best:

It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.

Those making the most noise about Hillary here sound a lot like shills--all gloss, no substance.

12. Thanks for the lulz

You're such an elitist.
