A D minus…
I made sure that I saw that “minus” after the D. Not saying I wouldn’t have written this article without it, but the inclusion of that seemed petty, filled with an almost cartoonish malice a la some dark authoritarian figure in Pink Floyd’s nightmarish state of education.
The real gatekeeper in math education is not algebra. The real gatekeeper of math education is fractions. It’s where alienation begins…
So, like with Newton’s Third Law of Motion — for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction — this article is my reaction."
