Alternative Math

Masterpiece. So glad nobody sued them for hurting feelings of any kind of....any person.

I only discovered this little gem in June 2021. Had I discovered it in 2017, the past four years might have been a little easier. Don't let it drive you away early in frustration - that's just to make the payoff at the very end all the sweeter.

A remarkable film that shows one of the reasons why this world is falling back into the abyss. In this age of formalism and false correctness, which is only an expression of cowardice to speak the right things and the truth, pseudo-educated self-satisfied parents make idiots out of their children who, when they grow up, will be ignorant people who will not be aware of themselves or the world around them. Them. On the other hand, not only education, but also all other institutions are managed by largely incompetent, and very often stupid, formalists whose goal is not general well-being, but survival in their business positions.

This movie explains why we shouldn't be surprised that school shootings happen.

My review is the review of a teacher. who discovers "Alternative Math" as a brilliant masterpiece. sure, for the performance of Allyn Carrell. but especialy, for the smart way to present the essence of political correctness, dictatorship of studedents and parents, relativism as essence of social happiness. a great film. for the precise exploration, in absurde manner, at the first sigh, of a real menace against school. that did this short film a must see. as warning. as parable. and as recipe of resistence against few "sweet" demons.

Having been in education for over forty years, I didn't find this as far fetched as it seemed to be. The sad thing is that this kind of thinking will have consequences down the line. In a syntactic way, the boy was right, but had never had to look at two different views. The lynch mob that forms doesn't usually address academics but all the other ills of the world wafted on our schools (pardon my soapbox). Anyway, this is an exaggeration. It makes me wonder if she wanted to go to court later and make her case for getting back pay for the other moneys that she was "shorted." People keep using the term "political correctness." I don't really think that's the issue here.
