The world is getting more complex, rather than less and the requirements to compete in that world are increasing. Giving up on math is giving up on the future.

- Spivak 5y agoSee here’s the thing. I completely totally agree with you. Which is specifically why I want to drop the math curriculum that is 4 years of blinding speed though material with just enough understanding and blind memorization to pass an exam it before forgetting it all. I want a world where people come away not afraid of maths and feel like they can use it as a tool to solve real problems. But that doesn’t happen unless you sit with the material for a while. What you see as dumbing down I see is actually having a whole generation of people understand and remember algebra which is way better than we have now.
