No, but if her parents choose to have her schooled by the government they can darn well make sure she takes her algebra seriously. If they want to homeschool and eliminate the algebra that’s their choice. Otherwise she needs to shut up and do her homework. And complain to her parents, not a journalist. Even if the system is reformed it won’t be in time to help her so she’d better find an individual solution.
I your opinion what percentage of the population is capable of learning and passing algebra?
I am thinking of the many people liberal arts majors in my college who barely passed the most rudimentary required math courses for arts majors. These liberal arts majors are **college** students, and a goodly percentage do go on to earn degrees. If they struggle, then what percentage should be a realistic expectation for the general population?
Realistically, what percentage of the population is even capable of learning algebra?
