At the same time you can't prep every kid to be a neurosurgeon. Or a prison guard. Or a helicopter machine gunner (which many would probably sign up to be if presented with the option at a young enough age!).
- leshow 9y agoThat's exactly why you need to teach a broad range of subjects, including basic math like simple calculus and arithmetic, so kids can actually make a choice about what they want to do. If they never get taught any of that, then they don't have the option available. And just to be clear, quadratic equation is basic math, and not anywhere close to 'prepping a kid to be a neurosurgeon'.
