[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Making calculus a graduation requirement and not guaranteeing a high school diploma would fix a ton of our issues [/quote] Almost nobody uses Calculus in the real world.[/quote] This is not a reason to teach subjects. We have a functionally illiterate society. Doesn’t mean it’s okay to stop teaching English since you can get away with not being good at it.[/quote] What is more useful, Calculus or Probability/Combinatorics?[/quote] You have a lot more confidence that students will care about either. Everyone barks about how school doesn’t teach useful skills, but so many stats teachers have expressed how little students care about learning statistics. The issue is cultural, and we teach students that school is long, boring, and useless.[/quote]
