No they definitely teach math but unfortunately math is kind of useless when they don't teach critical thinking.
Because then people blind themselves with their own bias and refuse to actually critically think about what they're reading and realize that they misread it or misunderstood it.
Goddamn I'm glad I was in Gifted
These people have no fucking clue what they missed
I was lucky to go to relatively good public schools and do some extra classes as well. It’s unfortunate that a good education is locked behind being wealthy enough to live in a good area and additional instruction outside of school, sometimes. This is one of the things that shows that people are not on a level playing field in the US.
It’s so getting worse too as we continue to defund public education so parents are forced to send their kids to private school, or worse, home school them.
It's a problem non-white Americans have been talking about for a real long time now. If only we could leverage the Department of Edu- oh
Tis why they got rid of it, eh.
