Just wait until they find out public schools are giving their children dihydrogen monoxide without asking for parental approval.

LVII percent of people are morons.

I mean we really should be using Mayan numerals. Switching to a base 12 numerical system would simplify using the Imperial measurement system. /s

Well you heard them. American numbers only from now on.

Get learning, kids.

It's America, we count shit in stars and stripes.

...ucked.

You're joking, but give it a few months to a year.

This will be a republican talking point for doing away with public schools.

Do you want to tell them, or should i?

Back to Greek then. 😅

Gotcha questions like this (eg "should we ban dihydromonoxide") are supposed to show us not to jump to conclusions, but I'm guessing the people voting no on this one aren't taking much away from it

To be fair the system is hindu arabic.

Closer to hindu १२३ than arabic ١٢٣

We, a Christian nation, should instead teach Church Numerals like GOD INTENDED! (/s)

Imperial mesure and Roman numerals fits good in this dystopic redneck country

Someone should tell them...

Fucking idiots...

Roman numerals only!

In fairness the question is open to interpretation. They don't specify if they mean western or eastern Arabic numerals.

As schools in the west already teach western, the people responding could justifiably deduce that the question is referring to eastern.

Apparently they call it "Hindu-Arabic" numbers now. Not sure if that makes it more or less frightening

...ucked

Well there's always Roman to fall back to

I guess 0123456789 count as Western numerals now

Finally, fuck math

xx past xi. Sure, whatever

Lemme guess....another fine YouGov poll?

Dumb mother fuckers.

Looks like they are not teaching the dumber students enough.

Cistercian numeral fans eating tonight

H

...ucking ignorant.

Ah yes, 2,313 people, otherwise known as a representative sample 350 million.

Edit: I'm not respond to the morons who think someone's FB status poll is representative of America.

Its a legit answer to a smart ass question.

Which Arabic numerals? There are plenty. If you travel to an Arabic country and pick up some cash you will see some numerals that looks different than the ones we use in non-arabic countries.

It's like asking if children should have mandatory french in school. when people say no the children will not be taught words like Infantry, Entrecote or vulgar because those are french words.

The person making this question while squirting milk of his nostrils is more ignorant than your people saying no.

Ya, I don't understand the point here.

Is the context asking if jr high/high school language classes for languages that use Arabic Numerals should be banned?

Or is the context asking if grade school students should be taught all the different numerals of the world?

Or is the context asking if just English/Roman/Arabic numerals should be taught?

etc.

All of these questions have different answers...
