This is the million dollar question.
Altho....I doubt if any of these would even know what a million is.....unless it's coloured green of course

Hilarious! Sure hope that was a set up vid!

That's Miss USA - the "beauty" pageant, not Miss America, the Scholarship pageant, thank goodness!

I love Miss Vermont.![]()
I think they should drop Math. It almost kept me from getting out of school!![]()

Miss Vermont is hot!!
The rest of them are Obama voters.
Or ES thinkers.
Im waiting for the haters to post Sarah Palin's video about math.
That is hilarious.
Stepping on the soapbox and putting on my flame-retardant suit.....
As a teacher of students of mathematics I think we should learn math. And really learn it. Our students set their sights too low.
What are the other disciplines I think our children should study?
Language, at least two. I wish I had seriously studied a foreign language to mastery.
Sciences
Histories and Social Studies
Arts
And Physical Education. Too many of our students are not active enough. Intramural sports should be emphasized in schools again.
And we need to quit complaining about how hard it is.

That looks like a pretty good list to me. Don't they do these subjects now?
What DO they study in school these days?
I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.

They study it but not in too much detail or much detail at all and they don't really learn it, especially the mathematics and sciences. Before my mom was really sick and passed away, she could still perform arithmetic calculations by hand, including fractions. She could also recite some childhood poems memorized and learned in school.
It seems that our youth are not held accountable for their education any more.
And this can lead to a whole other discussion on accountability.

(asbestos suit on) I blame No Child Left Behind, a good idea that had horrendous unintended consequences. The extreme example of this is the Georgia cheating scandal, where the teachers actually altered the answers on standardized tests.
As far as math instruction goes, IMO there is no substitute for the practice/drills that used to be done in elementary school. Math is at the root of all scientific disciplines, as well as accounting and economics. Did you know that compound interest calculation is actually what is called a "differential equation", which is quite advanced math?
