Wouldn't it then follow that all students of the same teachers end up with the same skill level in math? Not sure that's the case.

- benreesman 2y agoCantor gave his life to the Continuum Hypothesis, Hilbert gave much of his life to similar goals. You’re making an argument somewhat along those lines, but given that I didn’t stipulate a convergence condition your conclusions can be dismissed by me. If it were a valid argument then we’d need Gödel.
- mr_mitm 2y agoDid you mean to reply to another post? I don't follow at all.
- diffeomorphism 2y agoDoesn't follow. Bell curve in, shifted bell curve out. Ideally this also tweaks the variance a bit. In other words: Some students flourish despite their teachers, some flourish because of them.
- mr_mitm 2y agoAnd how would you call the students in the left tail of the Bell curve if not bad students?
- diffeomorphism 2y agoBelow average students and as long as the average is high enough they are still very competent. A bad teacher instead gives you a bimodal distribution and just doesn't bother teaching those students.
