If I have to teach you about sub par quality of articles on the internet, I won’t. Learn it yourself.

The syllabus includes of related topics way before in 6th or 7th grade. Some of them are often repeated (may be even intentionally). They learn about elements and their composition in 7th or 8th grade. After having all that, if student is inclined to it they learn more in 11th and 12th grades. Most of students follow up to 12th in India. If you are so concerned go check the textbooks yourself - https://ncert.nic.in/textbook.php

Although I don’t suppose most people won’t do that because why put the effort to understand things when you can spew dumb opinions around ?

The reason the topics were rationalised to improve remote learning and reduce burden on students during exams in a country where suicide rates among students due to exams and societal pressures is a real concern.

The way people have been reacting to this is as if students coming out of school are dumb fucks with no scientific knowledge. I bet the ones commenting here doesn’t even know half of what those students know.

Yes they are in India too. This article is misleading. It is about a specific advanced concept using the Pythagorean theorem.

That is taught in lower grades. The article is misleading. What is actually dropped is a specific advanced topic on the Pythagorean theorem.

PEOPLE FALLING FOR THIS SHIT AGAIN IS INSANE !

They haven't removed the Pythagorean theorem, it seems to be taught in lower grades. This is Pythagorean theorem for the similarity of triangles, which was dropped to remove burden during pandemic.

Periodic tables and evolution are moved to one or two grade higher. NOT DROPPED.

There you go. Now you have the facts. Enjoy the rest of your day 🫡

If there exits one, most probably next question to you would be “What is that ?” And then you give the long explanation.

What is your take on youtubers looking at multiple cameras on their videos ? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I agree. I’m only talking about the continuous cuts during mid sentences/paragraphs. I used to follow some good channels out there in tech, automation etc. Unfortunately this trend is giving me some weird motion sickness. So I’ve started avoiding them. May be it is a good thing.

What is your take on youtubers looking at multiple cameras on their videos ? (lemmy.world)
 

I see this trend lately where a lot of youtubers tend to face and look at multiple cameras while they are explaining stuff.

I don’t know if it adds anything to the experience. Sometimes I even feel dizzy, probably my brain not able to process so many movements while trying to understand them.

Do you find it amusing ?

Honest question, how many of you watch the autoplaying videos on websites ? (lemmy.world)
 

They are one of the most infuriating things for me. But I curious to know why is this a popular pattern in websites. Do people actually stop whatever they were planning to do and watch the video ?

I’ve blocked them on all my devices. But once in a while I see them when I use someone else’s devices and I wonder.
