Loading ...Math
I used to think they were doing that because they wanted a way to prevent parents from being involved in their education. Now I think it was just away to justify their work by making more work on the kids ” and busy working parents.” In chemistry getting the solution right was more important than getting the answer right was pointed out. Points wise on the solution vs answer. I jepordized my own grade by helping others but although I didn’t care about math much but what I needed to know I found chem math challenging. If they used this math on higher math it would take even longer. More important is the right answer in real life is more important that the way you came to the answer minus any short cuts with room for error. That and sometimes having to get to that answer fast say in a stat med or IV not to mention getting that dose right. With one of my grandsons years back daughter in law to him to park in 100 degree weather thinkikg American Indians are immune. Their not and he got heat stroke. She called me to the hospital, I found a young foreign nurse who may have learned core math, she got the drips right on the IVv but when I asked the amount she didn’t think to ask. That could of been a disaster. I suppose that would be for other things as well like building bridges where the right numbers are more relevant than the way you did it.
That’s what it appears to be pointing to.
