        @Rebeccamead_NYC "eliminating mandatory math would only exacerbate the achievement gap"

        Great if schools could offer "everyday algebra" so student w interests outside the sciences could take it and move on.

        Since when has risk of failure become something to avoid? A 'C' in algebra has way more value than an 'A' in political science.

        @THEguywilson PEMDAS is the only thing I learned from Algebra. Unless, your becoming a scientist or in that neighborhood, useless

        The issue w/ math isn't people's inability; it's the focus on teaching how to get an answer instead of understanding the problem

        Without algebra or other higher level math how in the hell are students supposed to learn logic or problem solving skills?

        I could never understand what practical purpose Algebra serves or why it was so vital to learn?

        @Rebeccamead_NYC Tho #uberfeminist #PCPolice deny girls' difficulties with it, I found algebra impossible. In 1960.
