Algebra is not impossible. We need to come up with more creative, practical ways to teach it.

You sound like a smart person. Do you really believe you can teach it over the IQ range 75-95?

That wasn't my quotation. But, I would say a motivatd low intelligence person can still learn to graph y=x, y=x*2, y=1/x with suitable effort. If not, maybe that person shouldn't be granted a high school degree. When degrees are handed out for compliant behaviour rather than academic achievement, the nature of the institution and the value of the degree is degraded for all.
