As the social scientist recoil in horror from the notion of calculus being forced down the throat of the "woke brigade" it is as well to remember just where standard deviation calculus came from, the statistical study of social demographics.. Sunak is simply dancing to another's tune..so typical of the facilitating Tories and the neoliberal (thus neoliberal social scientists are also unable to offer any informed opposition to his "Brutalist" stance), for it is Standard Deviation and its importance to the study of statistics and the creation of algorithms that pupils should be familiar with before they leave school.. so that means by the time they are 16 not 18..Lack of familiarity with these concepts leaves them open to the worst forms of elitist oppression (to "disappear" the true poverty -of all forms-, present in society is the "supreme violence" imho), and enables false economies* of all kinds. Standards should be raised but let's see that beginning with the better teaching of (esp.), maths and language (linguistics), from an early age. It is no use banging square pegs into round holes once the mould has started to set.. *Incl. WiFi tech and particle beam physics. Nb. I studied Standard Deviation adult ed. |
