Yes, because we want kids to have the same kind of reasoning skills that you do, ya moron. Listen professor, the problem is with your teaching profession. You idiots keep dicking around with proven teaching techniques. And how about you poly sci majors refrain from public discourse about "difficult" STEM curriculum. Personally, I'd like some difficult curriculum required for an education degree because there are amazingly stupid people out there trying to teach our kids.
Political scientist Andrew Hacker of Queens College in New York insists the difficulty of learning algebra is responsible for a higher dropout rate when students find they can’t grasp the discipline. The course should be excluded, Hacker says, because the math is just too hard for students today.
“One out of 5 young Americans does not graduate from high school. This is one of the worst records in the developed world. Why? The chief academic reason is they failed ninth-grade algebra,” Hacker says in his new book The Math Myth and Other STEM Delusions.

“At the very time we should be honing and sharpening quantitative reasoning skills we punch students into algebra, geometry, calculus. The Math People take over and ignore much simpler needs. Arithmetic is super essential — we quantify everything,” Hacker told The New York Times.
