Not necessarily related (and avoiding the attached political junk)—
here in Ontario (Canada), the current government as ... strongly advocated... for going back to the "good old days" of rote memorization for the math curriculum versus modern discovery math methodology—ie: problem solving and creative thinking.
There tend to be pillars of thought in NA.

- 52-6F-62 8y agoI was not getting into the political junk, as I said. Only pointing out that there are pillars of thought in NA who think that rote memorization as the sole method for learning mathematics was “the good old days” and is the only worthy method (with a practical example).
