Reform Math, American Thinker, November 20
Few things could be more useless than a system of math instruction concocted by developmental psychologists, and serious questions must be raised about the real effects (and intent) of Everyday Math. Human beings have been performing simple math since hunter-gatherers realized they had digits and things that needed to be counted. Only a starry-eyed progressive fool would attempt improvement upon methods of simple addition and subtraction, which were used by Franklin, Edison, and Einstein.
And an epiphany found in the comments:
The rot that is destroying our public schools can only be fixed by communities unwilling to suffer the pathologies found there.
