Thanks for the flag, Fred. I forwarded this on to my son's math teacher (who loved it) and is one of the good ol' fashion teachers (uses Saxon textbooks against the will of the state education department) but for some reason has produced far superior math student than any of the other school systems using using the politically correct math books that have problems such as "measuring the width of an endangered species paw." He is "considered out of the box" by his peers and superiors and even more scary to the "educational elite" is he believes that the most underserved and discriminated segment of our students are the gifted and talented. He even questioned the local school board why the schools are pumping so much money into students with room temperature IQs and asked any of the board members if they would like to take a ride in a rocket that was designed by any of these students with room temperature IQs.
