[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't say I've used algebra since I took it in HS. Basic math, everyday. [/quote] Algebra is just basic math formalized, not saying anyone needs to be writing out formulas but if they've learned the material they can put it to use. If you want to estimate how often to order the straws at Starbucks, Algebra. The person who balks at that level of thinking is in a lower caste.[/quote] My 4th grader can estimate and hasn't gotten anywhere near algebra. Schools need to realize that students cannot be pushed along year after year when they are failing and then be surprised that they can't pass algebra. My friend teaches and tells me that every year some of her students who fail everything pass the grade. Every year. She attends retention meetings and the school passes them anyway.[/quote]
