[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is all silly. We need to rethink math. What is the rush for taking algebra in 7th grade when 99% of the work force won't us anything beyond algebra in the real world? [/quote] Now that is a silly comment. By the time on kids grow up, a large percentage of the work force will need modern computer science and other post-algebra mathematical skills to be and remain gainfully employed. [/quote] You live in a fantasy world... Doctors teachers lawyers accountants even most scientists will NEVER EVER have to use anything beyond algebra. In the small chance that they do they'll be a program or app for it.[/quote] true, and certainly not factoring quadratic equations and all that crap. Never even did this in high school, nevber needed it in my life, and yet DC is doing it in 7th grade. [/quote]
