        Math should be taught differently, but not eliminated. Teach it in context so we understand practical application.

        I use algebra nearly every day.. comparison shopping, adjusting recipes, negotiating, etc. No algebra equals losing vocabulary.

        @Rebeccamead_NYC would you be willing to talk more about this? Hacker's complaints and your frustration are not the same.

        Some would argue math is more important than say art because it requires you to get the answer right. No "interpretation" allowed

        that's what makes math so boring for many people. Interpretation is, in many regards, the greatest spice of life
