Numerals
We do not really think that forcing kids to learn anything in school is a good idea. They should be learning things but by using the word ‘forced’, we just don’t see this headed in a good direction. ‘Forced’ would imply that these kids are lined up and pushed to learn against their will.
That sounds more like a scenario you would hear about happening in a giant prison and not at an elementary school. We are glad that most people voted no, not because it had anything to do with it being Arabic numerals, but because they read the fine print of the poll question.
