Why is is this a problem?
- Numbers are keeping kids from learning math.
- Text is keeping kids from reading.
- Too many words are keeping kids from listening to lectures.
I don't understand why people find it difficult to just teach a kid how to do something rather than wait for some miracle solution.
- 0xdeadbeefbabe 9y agoI offer my miracle solution: text is a bunch of tiny pictures.
- kps 9y agoText started as tiny pictures. Trouble is, there's an unbounded amount of things you need pictures for. The great thing about phonetically-based writing is that a tractably small number of symbols can combine in a natural way to express anything.
- fulafel 9y agoThat numbers idea has been held by a lot of smart people. For a while some countries taught set theory before numbers.
