As a parent who is bad at math, you’re not wrong. But given my kids are excelling in math (very high scores), I’ve learned to shut the fuck up about it and let the teachers do their ~~black magic~~ jobs.

I want to add that when I said they give away that their arguments demonstrate why math education needed to change, I do mean it. This is a clear cut case of the education system failing them.

I'd normally be happy to throw snark at the idiot things parents say that make our education system worse, but not this time.
