I'm forever puzzled by the lack of rigorous coursework in probability and statistics in the American public school system, at all levels. I mean, heck, it's pretty much the only mathematical subject for which the question, "When are we ever going to use this in real life?" is trivially answered! And all the other more traditional math subjects (algebra, calculus, etc.) fall right out of it anyway. It's the perfect foundation.
Honestly, why hasn't probability-centric mathematical pedagogy taken the world by storm?
