[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]

Except 80%+ of people do NOT need calculus in their careers, even those with a college degree.  It would be much more useful to require Stats classes and personal finance.

Not everyone is cut out to be an engineering major, nor should they be---we need a variety of people in this world.

If we taught education based on what 80% of people needed, we wouldn’t have any of our current system. I don’t touch any of the sciences in my career or my life. I don’t actively think about the water cycle every time it rains. I still had to learn biology, chemistry and physics through high school and through college.[/quote]

DP.  And no one is saying to get rid of those subjects.  The point is that CALCULUS is not needed by the vast majority of people.  It in no way should be a graduation requirement.[/quote]
