I suspect this argument will anger some STEM advocates. But I’m not against STEM. I just think that radically improving American numeracy in everyday life is vital, and trigonometry and calculus don’t do that. — PolitiTweet.org

I have long believed this. Advanced math (anything past basic algebra and geometry) should be reserved for pupils wanting or needing it. But every kid needs an understanding of statistics, how to decipher numerical trends, and basic finance. And, FYI, I got an A in trigonometry. — PolitiTweet.org

Early morning hot take: We would be a lot better off if we taught teenagers basic statistics and causal inference instead of trigonometry

@starmike I’m glad for you that it’s useful in your profession. I haven’t used it once since high school. — PolitiTweet.org
