So imagine conservatives are out there telling each other:

First they gave women rights, and I did nothing.

Then they gave black people rights, and I did nothing.

Then Obama gave consenting adults the right to get married, and I did nothing.

Then Hillary gave trans people rights, and I did nothing.

Then QAnon told me I needed to act—and there was no one left to bully.

After trans people, who's next on the basic human right's agenda?

    Apparently all the research shows that homework is counter-productive and doesn't really help kids with learning or retention. I'm told all the teachers and pedagogy groups are against it but there's so much institutional pressure to continue the practice that it just keeps chugging along.

      Interesting.

      I'm not entirely pro-homework, its more or less a sly at actual children.

      Mathematics I think benefits from the repetition. I don't think fill-in-the-blanks history homework ever helped anyone.

        Yeah, math takes practice. Personally I think gamification is the way to go for math practice. Kids won't do homework for shit but I bet if you offered fortnite bux and interesting math problems they'd go for it.

          There are a ton of better ways to teach kids. The school system overall actively drains any passion a kid could have for learning.
