This makes me sad. High school Geometry without proofs is indeed not worth keeping. (Except maybe as a two week discussion of triangles and right angles so that students understand what they are when they hit trig.)
- andrewprock 5y agoI have to agree wholeheartedly. The actual content in a classical geometry class is mostly related to logic; axiom, proof, theorem, inference, etc. If you remove all of that, you can embed actual geometric content into other classes as you go, much like probability and statistics is currently integrated across multiple years.
