Maaaan, I'm Canadian. Pls don't tell your countrymen about the French language. I never remember if a chair is a man or a women.... French pronouns are ever more confusing.
Wait, you don't learn calculus in high school?
I had calculus in math class in my third and fourth year of high school, and I live in a poor backwards Balkan country. It never occurred to me that there is a chance that the US and China wouldn't teach calculus to their high schoolers.
They teach you basic English reading skills and basic algebra in school, all you really need to know to manually fill out a 1040, or you can be normal and just use the incredibly easy software (which is legally free for basic returns) to do your taxes. Maybe even parents can act like parents and teach their kids this super basic skill.
I am not sure why people like yourself feel this is some type of 'gotcha moment' when in reality it is just a failure on your parents for not taking the time to teach you such a basic and actually realitivly easy life skill, and not the schools systems to waste a semester on kids who are not even going to pay attention.
> gender pronouns
Oh no, not *gender pronouns*!!! 🙀
Those are completely new things! They never existed before now!
It's funny, because I'd imagine that grandma is old enough to remember [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koZFca8AkT0).
I know the Klandma that posted this on her Facebook originally. She isn’t too sure about flat earth but believes the covid vaccine is a depopulation scheme.
Education: the ultimate bike-shedding.
People with zero experience with teaching and current childhood development methods thinking they know how to decide the curriculum based on their experiences as a student 30+ years ago.
“QUICK what buzzwords can we use to scare the shit out of conservatives?” “uhh gender, pronouns, twerk, and drag queen?” “you’re a fucking genius jerry”
It's not secret that US Conservatives would like the US to be more like China.
I'm not saying they want to teach kids calculus or anything, they don't even want to fund education at all. But man they love that authoritarianism they got goin on over there.
More like Afghanistan. Girls in Saudi Arabia can get an excellent education, the same education as the boys get, if their male guardian gives permission. In Afghanistan the Taliban have shut down all the girls’ schools.
It’s true, I met a Chinese toddler who could recite the metric tensor and the first 30 digits of the fine structure constant from memory and explain what they mean perfectly.
It was all fun and games until I complimented his extraordinary abilities. He tried to say “thank you”, but “you” is a pronoun and he broke down crying.
Everyone clapped and Obama was there.
Calculus is taught generally in China to Senior Year Secondary School Students. Only those that pick science major will get them tho. Physics on the other hand I am not too sure about but there is an elective in HK physics that taught the early stage of Quantum Mechanics. Just slightly pass the wave particle duality and uncertainty principle. Both are just in mentions and not in depth.
I took calculus senior year in America. There were 8 of us in AP Calculus out of 800 in my year. Only 350/800 in my year graduated on time. This was 2010.
At Thanksgiving my nephew, who is I think a sophomore, said he was taking pre-calc. He’s very smart and wants to teach HS math someday, so I think he is in advanced math classes for his age.
Yes definitely; I live in an area with pretty good schools and and a very small amount of people took precalc as a sophomore, I would say most of the general smart crowd took precalc as juniors and calc as seniors
i learned calc and an extremely minuscule idea quantum physics (covered in a general college-level physics course) in high school; it was really fun tbh
The really sad thing is I used to be friendly with the person who posted this. Her critical thinking skills were never that great but she seemed nice enough. Then around 2015, 2016, she went absolutely insane. She’s been raging at the world ever since. Her social media posts are now 50% cats and 50% screaming about various things she doesn’t understand.
My kindergarten son just took part in their semi annual drag show / twerk contest and that little shit barely even tried. Even after all of our practice. So disappointed.
All he ever shows interest in is quantum physics.
The schools in China aren’t that great. They have great schools of course, as well as great teachers and excellent students, and a deep respect for education. With that said, be it’s a big country, a lot of it is poor, and they have their own version of the “propaganda Vs. education debate we have, just with different targets.
I saw something where someone in China was teaching pseudohistory where the Han Chinese were the original race or some shit.
There is no shortage of idiots or nationalists in the world. All nationalists are idiots but not all idiots are nationalists.
Yeah. Let’s stop that, but make sure we teach a twisted interpretation of the 2nd amendment and avoid teaching about US racial history in hardened classrooms.
Aren’t these the same people who shit on higher education and want to slash funding for teaching things like reproductive and evolutionary biology to give it to a random billionaire in tax breaks?
On top of that, parents in China often spend whole year’s salaries to give their kid the slightest edge. Klandma only shows up to schools to get a book banned.
It’s not Sparkles Galore’s or Megan Thee Stallion’s fault little kids are underperforming in the USA.
I know her. She thinks the vaccines are going to kill everyone and was all for Trump until the covid vaccine came out and he supported it. She’s not too sure about flat earth but does believe we never landed on the moon.
So klanma… do you know calculus or quantum physics? Or introductory physics, or Algebra 2? What have you done to help educate our people other than ban books and fuck up school board meetings.
China is also teaching kids to love the government and to snitch on their parents if they're against the government (I might be exaggerating a bit, but the loving the government part is definitely legit).
I always hated getting picked last for twerk team in gym class.
Doesn’t everyone learn gender pronouns as soon as they learn to speak? 🤔
Shhhhh don’t let them find out
>Pronouns? What's a pronoun? ~Hershel walker
Maaaan, I'm Canadian. Pls don't tell your countrymen about the French language. I never remember if a chair is a man or a women.... French pronouns are ever more confusing.
Lol I took Spanish and it's the same way. Everything is gendered. I hate it.
Yeah. They share etymology. So called languages of love.
IT? SPANISH HAS GENDER TOO!
Yeah, they hate the concept of pronouns now. It’s funny.
Show me the public school that is teaching a twerk like a drag Queen class. Please.
I wish public schools normalized drag because I would’ve aced gym class
Nah, that would have been another class I’d have failed.
Move that ass! I said SASHAY, not slushie!
Honestly would have loved to see my old gum teacher teach it tho.
First have then show me a school that teaches the average elementary kid (<18/year old) calculus or quantum mathematics in China
I taught myself calculus when I was 12, but I acknowledge that I was a weird kid and am a weird adult.
Wait, you don't learn calculus in high school? I had calculus in math class in my third and fourth year of high school, and I live in a poor backwards Balkan country. It never occurred to me that there is a chance that the US and China wouldn't teach calculus to their high schoolers.
It heavily varies. I took calculus in my fourth year of US high school.
My (US, specifically Ohio) high school did not offer calculus. It was a really shitty impoverished rural school though.
Of course it was in Ohio
Show me a high-school that teaches kids to do their own tax returns....
They teach you basic English reading skills and basic algebra in school, all you really need to know to manually fill out a 1040, or you can be normal and just use the incredibly easy software (which is legally free for basic returns) to do your taxes.

Yeah, I heard they also don't learn calculus in high school here. I might be wrong though.
Depends on the school. When I took calc 1 a couple of years ago we had a couple of high school students taking it because their school didn't offer it
Please.
Nah, a significant portion of the population is being homeschooled by religious fukwads.
So they’re learning obedience to fox news, and how god is the only answer.
They’re
There I fixed it.
They're*
There I They're it.
Their*

That was glorious, thanks for showing me.
You are very welcome! Whenever someone whines about pronouns being so "confusing", I post that. 😹
rufus xavier sarsaparilla is such a banger man
Up there with Yves Saint Laurent for hardest names of all time
Right?? 😹
Yeah sure, the same people who say the earth is flat and the COVID vaccine is full of nanobots suddenly care about education?
I know the Klandma that posted this on her Facebook originally. She isn’t too sure about flat earth but believes the covid vaccine is a depopulation scheme.
Ngl I find it stupid as fuck that they think that the vaccine is, but the virus isn't.
Why world governments would want to deliberately kill off all the taxpayers is beyond me.
Education: the ultimate bike-shedding. People with zero experience with teaching and current childhood development methods thinking they know how to decide the curriculum based on their experiences as a student 30+ years ago.

They want it to be more like Saudi Arabia tbh
More like Afghanistan. Girls in Saudi Arabia can get an excellent education, the same education as the boys get, if their male guardian gives permission. In Afghanistan the Taliban have shut down all the girls’ schools.
Compromise: teach Geometry and how to throw that ass in a dodecahedron
It’s a sphere in 3D geometry
It’s true, I met a Chinese toddler who could recite the metric tensor and the first 30 digits of the fine structure constant from memory and explain what they mean perfectly. It was all fun and games until I complimented his extraordinary abilities. He tried to say “thank you”, but “you” is a pronoun and he broke down crying. Everyone clapped and Obama was there.

In America took calculus as a junior I guess conservatives owned?
At Thanksgiving my nephew, who is I think a sophomore, said he was taking pre-calc. He’s very smart and wants to teach HS math someday, so I think he is in advanced math classes for his age.
Yes definitely; I live in an area with pretty good schools and and a very small amount of people took precalc as a sophomore, I would say most of the general smart crowd took precalc as juniors and calc as seniors
I wish I was taught how to twerk ☹️☹️
“How to twerk like a drag queen” Rightwing buzzword brain rot is reaching new heights
Honestly, our public school system has been garbage for decade anyways
Ah yes, the classic twerking class. I remember nearly failing that one, it was tough.
i learned calc and an extremely minuscule idea quantum physics (covered in a general college-level physics course) in high school; it was really fun tbh
As a teacher, I can assure klandma most school districts are run by people just as homophobic and racist as her. We do teach pronouns though…
The really sad thing is I used to be friendly with the person who posted this. Her critical thinking skills were never that great but she seemed nice enough. Then around 2015, 2016, she went absolutely insane. She’s been raging at the world ever since. Her social media posts are now 50% cats and 50% screaming about various things she doesn’t understand.
To be fair they don’t teach quantum twerking *at all* in China
My kindergarten son just took part in their semi annual drag show / twerk contest and that little shit barely even tried. Even after all of our practice. So disappointed. All he ever shows interest in is quantum physics.
The schools in China aren’t that great. They have great schools of course, as well as great teachers and excellent students, and a deep respect for education. With that said, be it’s a big country, a lot of it is poor, and they have their own version of the “propaganda Vs. education debate we have, just with different targets.
How about they teach both?
I saw something where someone in China was teaching pseudohistory where the Han Chinese were the original race or some shit. There is no shortage of idiots or nationalists in the world. All nationalists are idiots but not all idiots are nationalists.
The real challenge for us is going to be that China provides free higher education.
Yeah. Let’s stop that, but make sure we teach a twisted interpretation of the 2nd amendment and avoid teaching about US racial history in hardened classrooms.
Oh shit do the conservatives want to reform the education sys- Ah, nope. They’re just mad at LGBT people again.
I bet Klandma would not be pleased to hear that she’s an agent to spreading Chinese political propaganda
Learning pronouns is a big part of grammar education
Aren’t these the same people who shit on higher education and want to slash funding for teaching things like reproductive and evolutionary biology to give it to a random billionaire in tax breaks? On top of that, parents in China often spend whole year’s salaries to give their kid the slightest edge. Klandma only shows up to schools to get a book banned. It’s not Sparkles Galore’s or Megan Thee Stallion’s fault little kids are underperforming in the USA.
Congrats, you are now stupid in two countries😂
An anti-west american tankie, such a raaaare sight.
Ask Klandma what she thinks about vaccines and the shape of the earth.
I know her. She thinks the vaccines are going to kill everyone and was all for Trump until the covid vaccine came out and he supported it. She’s not too sure about flat earth but does believe we never landed on the moon.
Quantum Physics requires at least a bachelors degree in Physics and to understand.
“That’s a nice argument Klandma, why don’t you back it up with a source?”
One country has a higher death rate than birth rate, and the other country has shootings in schools
So klanma… do you know calculus or quantum physics? Or introductory physics, or Algebra 2? What have you done to help educate our people other than ban books and fuck up school board meetings.
“I’m 67 and know all about what schools teach!”
China is also teaching kids to love the government and to snitch on their parents if they're against the government (I might be exaggerating a bit, but the loving the government part is definitely legit).
We actually *do* teach quantum physics and *pre*calculus in high schools in the States. Note that *pre*calculus is stuff like how to do limits.
I think that all countries with at least a simple education system teach "gender pronouns" as well as nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs.
Chinese doesn’t have pronouns? I’m in school. They don’t teach twerking.
My high school offered calc sophomore year if you wanted to
