Algebra is basic. My 11 year old son is doing pre-algebra. He is my child, so he can't be too smart. I love him, but his father has limited his intelect at a genetic level :)

I stand by the arguement that Algebra is basic. We can't dumb down our society with "Algebra is too hard" language.

You can't dumb down or smarten up society.

It is what it is.
