where do we draw the line what's "basic"?

  Being able to take an arbitrary word problem and turn it into an algebraic equation (or series of equations) and be able to solve it. That a huge percentage of kids graduate high school being unable to do that means several people (mostly parents but likely the school system too) failed them.

    that hat is quite a bit higher than the basic algebra to just solve given equations. that's why I was asking. I think there are vastly different views on what's "basic". wrt who has failed on them iirc countries like Finland figured how to largely lift the dependency from home, family, parents.
