re: #129 Gus

I’m pretty sure I know what the intent here is. They’re trying not to offend any overtly-delicate soul. Everything is designed around the lowest level of offensiveness in many organizations. And yes it’s just for standardized tests. I don’t agree with any of this at all. Children need to learn the realities of life and not sheltered from everything.

So you’d be okay with this question designed to test someone’s math skills:

“Suzie’s mother died of cancer when she Susie was 6 and her mother was 21. Assuming that Suzie and her mother had the same birthday, how old was Suzie’s mom when she gave birth to Suzie?”
