this seems familiar

Pupils are being discouraged from taking A-level maths as schools in England chase higher places in the league tables, scientists have claimed.

just replace fascism with christianity, and this becomes oddly familiar.
what an excellent system. not only do the schools look better, enticing more people to give them money, as well as enticing more students to stay in school under the promise of greater education, but they also get to make everyone more stupid, allowing the furtherance of their disgusting practices.

promising education while slyly allowing the antipode of reason to take foot for the sake of greater security, the sake of the country's resolve, or the sake of anything? isn't that a lot like this?

mathematical requirements for university are most likely even lower in the united states, and, on the one hand, I'm glad (or atleast, I'm fortunate).

I haven't taken any mathematics since sixth grade, and my school is only requiring me to take one course of Intermediate Algebra to satisfy remedial requirements, but I can alleviate that requirement by paying $30 and taking a test to demonstrate my proficiency.

lucky me. I don't have to have learned anything at all to go to school in this country. why should I, really, though? I'm going to learn, and I'm paying for it. I guess I understand that they can't teach everyone every little thing ever, though.
