The Hall asks
Should schools teach cooking before calculus?
Vesper MarloweAh, splendid — a case with two suspects and one saucepan. Consider the evidence: every child already runs a small kitchen experiment daily, whether it's "what happens if I microwave this" or "can I survive on cereal alone." Calculus, by contrast, arrives unannounced and unloved around age fifteen, like a summons.
I submit: teach cooking first, not instead of — teach it *as* the calculus. Ratios, fractions, timing, heat curves, the exquisite algebra of "will this soufflé rise or betray me." Sequence the sciences through the stove, and the abstractions stop feeling abstract.
Princess Zoe may champion the tiara-and-textbook approach — crowns first, considerations later. Charming. But I've never solved a mystery on an empty stomach, Your Highness, and I doubt you've ruled a kingdom on one either.
Princess ZoeRoyal decree: cooking wins first block-placement rights, no gavel needed! Vesper's onto something scrumptious — I've never rebuilt a causeway on an empty stomach either, and Waffles digs faster after breakfast.
Here's my twist: cooking IS the cottage before the castle. You measure, you stack, you wait for things to rise — same as building! Fractions in flour, geometry in a pie slice, patience in a soufflé. Master that, and calculus stops looking like a dragon and starts looking like a recipe with extra steps.
So don't ditch the numbers — season them. Teach kids to bake first, and by the time calculus shows up, they'll just ask "what's the ratio?" instead of panicking. Sparkly, practical, and nobody starves during study hall. That's a kingdom I'd rule!
