Trump is doing an Archie Bunker impression at this point I think. He just answered a question about "how do we improve schools in the Bronx?" with ...* Don't need the Department of Education* Just one secretary to make sure they are teaching English* Reading, Writing and Arithmetic!* Your kid's gonna come back with a sex changeIt's so damn cartoonish. Arithmetic? Not mathematics? Good lord.

@futurebird I’m sure his core is filling out the rhyme. Taught to the beat of the hickory stick.

@futurebird You don't need algebra to pick crops. Trump intends to deport all the farm workers, and he's gonna need replacements in a hurry.

@futurebird It's my theory that authoritarians love memorization busywork like times tables, Shakespeare recital over engineering / creative skills because it forces the successful into the kind of blind obedience required to maintain the establishment through unquestioning subservience. It has parallels in military and cult indoctrination.( Full disclosure: I don't like arithmetic ;-) )

@toerror There are hidden joys in arithmetic. But one needs to see it more like meditation. Algorithms can be very comforting-- but only after they become like games.
