Re: Is Algebra Necessary?
From the article:
Quote:
a definitive analysis by the Georgetown Center on Education and the Workforce forecasts that in the decade ahead a mere 5 percent of entry-level workers will need to be proficient in algebra or above
If only 5% of American entry level workers are proficient in algebra in 2022, I'm moving to Canada. Maybe only 5% of those jobs will require the knowledge what with the rise of technology, but I think it would be a considerably less innovative and and independent workforce, as Algebra and the math that comes after it really can help students learn how to think better.
