The point he made, which I think was central to the piece, was that our math education system specifically is totally broken. He makes that point very, very well. If you want to read just that, start reading around the "Who is to blame?" segment, or a couple paragraphs before that (for context).
- thaumaturgy 17y agoI am somewhat amused by the irony of your comment. :-) It took only a few minutes to read the article in its entirety, and although it was maybe a little longer than it could have been, it wasn't bad as is. So, if even HN readers don't have the attention span for something like this, then where does that leave us?
- dschobel 17y ago'A little longer' is being very generous. I thought the meandering conversational tone with all of the asides was flat out tedious. Which is a shame because it is a very important topic.
