STEM education lagging in U.S. schools

Post Reply New Topic

I have been saying this for nearly 30 years.

Forget critical race theory, this is what schools need to prioritize more than anything.

Imagine how much we all could get done if there were another Space Race.

Well ...we seemed to be headed for a second space race. India, China, the EU, Japan, South Korea, as well as the US and Russia. In fact the US and especially Russia seemed to be in the rear guard this time around.

Just make it so that accessing on-line porn sites requires solving a random math problem.  Maybe even limit the amount of time . . . or grant 1 minute of viewing for each correct answer out of 10.

• Partial nudity: Long division, square roots, reciprocals.
• Full frontal nudity: Algebra
• Self-stimulation: Trigonometry
• One-on-one: Pre-calculus
• Threesomes: Differential calculus
• Kinks: Integral calculus

Either people would learn math, or the porn industry would crash.

Win/win!

I'll side with getting rid of critical race theory when I can exist in all 50 states without someone commenting on my skin color.

Funny story. I have 6 years of medical experience and, at the time, a year of phone customer service for the government. Moved to OK. My spouse and I applied for the same job at a hospital doing phone customer service. He has no medical experience. We had the same amount of work experience overall. Guess who got the job? Not the "dark one" (their words to refer to me later) with all the medical and phone experience.

In that case, STEM is affected by critical race theory anyway. Crown laws also have a huge impact on STEM employers.

Before I retired I was more valued for my customer service skills than my STEM skills.
