The Democratization of Singapore Math

When more and more countries around the globe are fast embracing the Singapore math curriculum, or part of it, so as not to be left behind educationally and economically, as they copycat or emulate the best educational practices used by local math educators and tiger parents, who have helped put the “fine” city of Singapore on the world’s math education map.
Like the democratization of music, the democratization of Singapore math ought to force math educators in the city-state to embrace the courage imperative, by turning barriers into breakthroughs, or obstacles into opportunities, if they want to maintain an asymmetric advantage over their counterparts in other high GDP economies.

The Muskification of Singapore Math

When publishing houses in the “fine” city of Singapore give their oft-half-baked editorial staff and their semi-inept bosses an ultimatum: commit to high-quality publishing (with limited or quasi-zero resources) and willingness to go the extra (second) mile and helping the company to achieve exponential profitability.
In the Muskification of Singapore math exercise, some morally bankrupt managing editors and publishing managers have further slashed the already-low budget for proofreaders, reviewers, and consultants—editors and writers are expected to wear multiple hats while producing wallet-happy titles.

DEI Math

When a white supremacist or/and chauvinist suspects that an ill-posed or poorly worded math question, or for that matter any mathematical faux pas, big or small, most likely comes from a woman/person of color/immigrant/LBGTQ.
While a team of math educators-turned-inspectors are still investigating the source of the “confusing” test question that led thousands of students into frustration or panic, the Blamer-in-Chief attributes it to a DEI math problem.

DOGE Math

Short for “Department of Government Efficiency” Math. When a gang of smart alecks directed by some billionaire jerk-nerd come into the workplace and start accessing the personal data of allegedly underperforming or malingering math educators, or heartlessly email them over the weekend about their terminations, particularly targeting those who had unprovenly criticized the radical ideology of the MAGA cult or the conspiracies perpetrated by alt-right groups.
Guesstimate the number of firings that have so far taken place nationwide in the aftermath of the apparently vindictive DOGE math initiative.
