[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents need to be good at Maths and teach their kids themselves.[/quote] I can get my kids through Algebra I and part of Geometry and Statistics. I should not have to learn Calculus to teach my kid. I'm a liberal arts major and last took calc in 1995. I certainly hope someone who teaches for a living could do better than I could.[/quote] I think this is exactly the point the VDOE is making. Very, very few people need calculus in their lives.[/quote] I don't use calculus directly in my life, but am an excellent problem solver. Higher level math teaches problem solving at a very complex level. Being that the world is getting more complex, I think this is a very important skill for many to have. https://www.generationready.com/mathematics-as-a-complex-problem-solving-activity/[/quote]
