There is already an education tag there; why not just use it?

I understand the "our education tag deserves special attention because we like it" bandwagon, but unless math.sx is having management issues and needs to be split, there is no real justification for a hyper-specialized math education sub-site. The only thing it does is divide the attention of users between two sites.

I don't expect this to be a popular question but if you cannot give a compelling argument for splitting Math.SX (where educational topics are already appropriate) off into a hyper-specialized Math LSE subsite, please reconsider a downvote without a contribution.

Edit: After reading some of the answers below, while I still believe Math SLE is misguided and useless, I support the inclusion of its concepts in the Education.SX proposal over the use of education on Math.SX.
