Math is not taught any more either. Have you ever been at a checkout counter and watch while a young adult tries to give change for 79¢ item paid for with a dollar bill. Some of them can't even read what the computer tells them to do.

A Special Ed teacher that I know tried to get her school district to develop a real-life experience courses for some of her students who were really low functioning. Instead of teaching them algebra, she wanted to teach them how to make change after purchases, balance a checkbook, etc. She was laughed out of the conference room by the silly liberals she worked with. Sad.

The first step to restoring math literacy is ending tax withholding! Governments (fed, state, local) will have to teach math properly to secure their revenues.

For that classic deer in the headlights look; hand the clerk $1.04 when paying for that 79 cent item...ROTF!
