[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think we just have to accept that these anti-Algebra posters here live a very sheltered life and maybe haven't ever had to work a real job in the professional world.

Or, God help us if they are actually educators or public officials who have influence on education policy, because if that's the case how in the hell did they get there if they are so incompetent?[/quote]

ITA.  Idiotic.  Since literacy and "every day" math is all taught in elementary school are these people proposing a 5/6th grade education is sufficient?

I don't know anyone who did not learn Algebra or Calculus for that matter but I went to college and everyone I know are educated professionals with graduate degrees.[/quote]

How nice for you.  But I have an undergraduate and two graduate degrees, one from an Ivy.  Never took any math beyond trig, in fact I dropped trig, in high school.  The only math course I took in college was statistics.  I have worked in "real" jobs all my life, but I would be interested in knowing what jobs are not "real"?

BTW, did you take any English or writing courses?  Perhaps not.  "Everyone I know are"?  [/quote]
