2 + 2 = 5?

Where can you find a place that 2+2=5 is accepted? Or 1+1=1.997 is close enough for the answer? Well, my good friends, right here in the United States of America we accept those answers. The land that put the first man on the moon, the land that first developed the atomic bomb, and the land that gave you lights with the light bulb, we now accept wrong answers as being correct. You are probably saying now..."Genghis1227 has gone off the deep end. It is ludicrous to say that 2+2=5 when we all know that it equals 4. What is he talking about?" I'm talking about a new style of math teaching called "Constructivist Mathematics." This "more tolerant" and "politically correct" program that promotes the learning of math by not getting the answer correct, but by working with others to achieve an answer. Remember that it doesn't have to be correct, it just has to be a good answer that was found by working with others. What are we teaching our kids? I'll tell you what we are teaching our kids, it is called idiocy. Why do we continue to dumb down our children? Have you heard the phrase, "The children are our future, teach them well."? I guess that is thrown out the window with the teaching of morality. Why do we teach our kids to just estimate instead of calculate? The reason why we do this is the same reason why the Democrats want to dumb down the public so we can't think for ourselves. Maybe they want it this way so we cannot calculate how much taxes we pay out of our paychecks to our Imperialistic Federal Government. Whatever it is I do not agree with these Constructivist Mathematicians that probably don't know a lick of Calculus if the book was thrown their way and shoved up their @$$.
