Ya, I don't understand the point here.
Is the context asking if jr high/high school language classes for languages that use Arabic Numerals should be banned?
Or is the context asking if grade school students should be taught all the different numerals of the world?
Or is the context asking if just English/Roman/Arabic numerals should be taught?
etc.
All of these questions have different answers...
What are "English" numerals and what is the difference to Arabic numerals?
I'm learning on this thread.

I misinterpreted my quick Google and thought Eastern Arabic Numerals were Arabic Numerals.
Then I googled "British Numerals" to find the proper name and Google told me the proper name was English Numerals.
