‘Extinction’ 1080 x 1350 SketchBook Inspired by DEATH STRANDING

(Just realised as I write this post that I missed out the handprint mark in the crater. Probably in a next version XP)

Little unrelated story:

When I was painting this, I was listening to Les Friction’s YOUR WORLD WILL FAIL, and it really helped to set the mood for this. I was hoping to be able to accompany the picture with that song when I share it on Instagram Story, but couldn’t find it on Instagram Music, which I am a little upset about, but oh well, ended up with another song that sorta fits too. 

Here is the track I wanted to use:

California Tries to Close the Gap in Math, but Sets Off a Backlash

Proposed guidelines in the state would de-emphasize calculus, reject the idea that some children are naturally gifted and build a connection

The State Board of Education adopted the Mathematics Framework on November 6, 2013. Curriculum frameworks provide guidance to educators, par

I posted about the corruption of math education last year, and got the predictably gaslighting response, that "that's not what it means!" like the "you're taking it out of context!" when you quote the bible.

Critical Theory scholars are now being cited directly into official draft curricula, rather than merely posting their proposal papers online; they're being adopted as actual education policy, such as by California. They're getting bolder about what they're doing.

This is what's called Critical Pedagogy - ways things are taught - and Critical Praxis - practice, implementation. This is where the theory becomes reality.

And teaches black kids that math is against them. Because “mathematics can be subjective” and “mathematics has been used to normalize racism and marginalization of non-Eurocentric mathematical knowledges.”

When it comes to math education, you have two choices: teach an educator how to math, or teach a mathematician how to educate. It's time to defund the former and do the latter. Math needs to be math.
