Recall:

2.5% of the year corresponds to 9 days
5% → 18 days
10% → 37 days
50% → 6 months
90% → 47 weeks
95% → 50 weeks
97.5% → 51 weeks (a year has ~52 weeks)

I’ll let you in on a secret. I have a doctorate in education, but the field’s basically just a 100 years old. We don’t really know what we’re doing. Our scholarly understanding of how learning happens is like astronomy 2000 years ago.

Most classroom practice is astrology.

Before the late 19th century, no human society had ever attempted to formally educate the entire populace. It was either aristocracy, meritocracy, or a blend. And always male.

§ Alexis King @lexi_lambda society if propositional and first-order logic were included in primary and secondary education mathematics curricula

§ Alexis King @lexi_lambda sometimes I wonder if this sort of ∀-vs-∃ confusion would be less pervasive if students were exposed to literally any formal logic in middle/high school, because first-order logic is very accessible, and it seems a lot more generally useful than, say, matmuls devoid of context
