We all know confidently incorrect people. People displaying dunning-kruger. The majority of those people have low education and without someone giving them objectively true feedback on their opinions through their developmental years, they start to believe everything they think is true even without evidence.

Memorizing facts, dates, and formulas aren’t what necessarily makes someone intelligent. It’s the ability to second guess yourself and have an appropriate amount of confidence relative to your knowledge that is a sign of intelligence.

I could be wrong though.

    can tell you are neither in nor familiar with the current issues in education

    Says person quoting an excuse given several years ago, and clearly hasn’t looked up who he’s talking to (spoiler alert: a Maths teacher)

    that’s the legacy of remote learning

    That was the excuse given several years ago. Latest figures (a few weeks ago, as I already said) show the U.S. has fallen even further behind the rest of the world post return to school, so the issue was never remote learning to begin with.

      please, pretend you have credentials none of us believe. you were earlier proudly and strongly asserting you could teach math anywhere in the US without any sort of math cert. show me your source on that before you keep running your mouth on shit you know nothing about. remind me, how long ago was the pandemic and when will the last of those children graduate? you “taught math” you should be able to do arithmetic

      • please, pretend you have credentials none of us believe

        No thanks. I never lie.

        anywhere in the US

        Nope. Never said that, hence why you’re unable to quote me saying that.

        show me your source on that

        says person who has shown no sources that it’s only Florida and was only because of remote learning. Here’s a 2-week old article for you, so you can stop quoting excuses from years ago

          especially in the U.S. where it’s not even required to have Maths qualifications to be a Maths teacher.

          that you or someone else

              okay, your speech is littered with Sibboleths. no one who knows anything about the English language believes you know anything about education in the United States as you have never lived there and at best taken a brief holiday. please find better hobbies.

              • okay, your speech is littered with Sibboleths

                Says person who can’t debunk anything I said and is resorting to ad hominems.

                no one who knows anything about the English language

                If you read the article you’ll find the U.S. has been falling behind in English as well 😂

                please find better hobbies

                Maths education is a profession of mine, not a hobby
