Destroying American Education–The Last Nail

I don’t know who this guy is or what his area of expertise may be.  It’s certainly not education.

Getting rid of Algebra 2 will mean the end of all college students who major in chemistry, physics, and, of course, mathematics.  In turn, it means no more pre-meds, and, a few years later, no more doctors produced in the United States.

Of course, when you walk through a medical office and read the surnames of the doctors practicing there, it’s clear that, through our eviscerating American education over the past few decades, we’re 90% of the way along this terrible process.

Also: no engineering means no new infrastructure, cars, and IT.  All advancements in technology will come from Europe and Asia.

We can teach our kids about financial fundamentals like credit cards and buying a house, but they will be so desperately poor that none of these skills will have any meaning.

    I think maybe both things – algebra, and financial literacy – need to be happening at the same time.

    Also I think the arts need to be put back into the schools. Engagement with the arts improves cognition.
