He uses philanthropy to force his ideology on everyone and his ideology doesn't work. His philanthropy makes things worse not better.
At some point it stops being a philanthropy when it makes lives of people he tries to "help" worse. Like his actions have a ulterior motives...
- Insanity 7mo agoInteresting. Honestly I don't know as much about his philanthropy, which ideology does he push? How did it make lives worse?
- soperj 7mo agoCommon Core for one.
- analog31 7mo agoThis is the thing that really baffles me. My kids went through K-12 when Common Core was a thing, and there was a huge backlash about it, so I decided to look it up and to see how it was being used in our school district. A few states published their Common Core guidelines. I looked at one state, and the curriculum goals looked no different than the things that I learned when I was a kid. It seemed completely ordinary. I remain baffled about why it was so controversial.
- nickstinemates 7mo agoThe way they teach math is stupid
- analog31 7mo agoMath education has always been a failure, or a "crisis." The number of people who come out of school with any functional math ability has been fairly constant over the decades, and depends a lot on family background and economic class. I'm not even sure that differences across countries are all that significant when people reach adulthood. Don't get me wrong. I was one of the successful ones, but I think math education is in need of reform. In fact I would reform it quite radically.
- zeroonetwothree 7mo agoI like the common core math curriculum. I think it makes a lot of sense. I prefer it to how I was taught. I have a kid in school and a math degree so I have some knowledge of this.
