Great article. My wife is a math teacher at our local community college and her chief complaint is that students with high school diplomas show up in her classroom every year with no clue about how to add, subtract, divide, or multiply fractions. These same high school grads have no understanding of such complex notions like; signed numbers, square and cube roots, and the transposition of simple formula. These are things kids of my generation had down cold by the 7th grade.

A visit with a high school teacher, (member of our church), reveals the source of the problem, she’s as dumb as her product.
