    Math is about nothing. Math is the "Seinfeld" of high school education, an anti-algebra political scientist argues. http://nyer.cm/Pr6rj5u

        The dumbing down of America continues. It is bad enough that a large % of high school grads can't form a coherent sentence! Now 2+2=potato

        Maybe he wouldn't notice if his employer moved the decimal point on his paycheck just two or three points to the left.

        Thank you for saying this! Science is predicated on math. Social "sciences" on opinions. But want legitimacy? Add the word "science"😏

        The lack of math literacy leads to absence of math in daily dialogue. Now using the absence in daily dialogue to justify dumbing?

        Dumbing down will send signals to lower grade, resulting in less attention to math early on. A lot of kids will be excluded from best jobs.

        Like many other policy proposals, the kids from affluent families can afford the change. The poor kids will be impacted most.

        I’ll bet every dollar I have that he or someone else typed his ridiculous diatribe on a computer. I don’t think irony has a better example.

        My college, 1963: our choice-year 2 of Western Civ=20 books many words, OR one year of Calculus=1 book many numbers. I chose Newton.

        Political Science is about Order or Chaos, Math is about Order and Chaos and everything in between... So it's about everything, even Humour.
