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.

    Most teachers do, but some aren’t very good, especially in the U.S. where it’s not even required to have Maths qualifications to be a Maths teacher.

                can tell you are neither in nor familiar with the current issues in education. every educator and anyone who’s had to get a degree in the last 20 years can tell you we’re seeing a bunch of bullshit that’s the legacy of remote learning. a generation lost a year of education.

                • 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
