[quote=Anonymous]It's not just about STEM. Ability to figure out things like area, volume, angles is needed in many trades for even the most basic tasks - for example estimating the square footage of tile needed for a bathroom. Likewise, Algebra is useful for a great many things, like in food service where Algebra could be useful for scaling ingredients for a recipe to serve a given number of people. A basic knowledge of statistics is also useful for many aspects of everyday life. But to flip the original question on its head, why so eager to dumb Americans down?[/quote]
