[quote=Anonymous]Yes, I think math does get short schrift. I think students and schools alike fall into a false pattern of "math is hard" and it's mainly due to lack of proper emphasis, poor teaching methods, et cetera, along with an attitude of "well, you'll still manage fine without math." Math is so important regardless of whether people want to be scientists or engineers, whether figuring out your home finances, or at work, figuring out a bill of materials, inventorying, et cetera. For example, kids who want to be computer game programmers - yet don't realize that there's a whole lot of math involved in programming. Set up for failure early on by an attitude that doesn't think math is important.[/quote]
