Great video at YouTube helps explain why many of the freshman I've taught can't do basic math in intro science classes.
You can't reason your way to math proficency--this provides good examples of how misguided math ed has been over the past decade or so. But I've seen some of her examples in my friends' kids'' homework!!!
It's 15 minutes long but worth watching if you have ever despaired over the state of math knowledge among college students or the general public.
Of course, if you don't know math, you will certainly have trouble reasoning logically. Hmmmmm.... the fact that NCLB came from Texas makes one leap for conspiracy theories. But since I am decent at math, I will simply leave it to the commentators to hash out and stick to my logical approach to reality. :-)
