>Maybe 5% of the school population will be anywhere near math wizardry or use math in any endeavors after high school/college. Many of them will wind up on Wall Street selling things they are told to sell while not fully comprehending their mathematical significance. Mob psychology would be more useful. Have you ever met a doctor that can balance a check book? They are far and few between. Lawyers only know about math because of billable hours which are usually pulled out of thin air anyway. So, Let’s give the math voodoo a rest, please.

I use math at home and at work every single day. Many, many of us are scientists, statisticians, engineers, etc.
My kids are math oriented and will likely go in that direction later in life. I am afterschooling them in traditional math so that they can compete for the more technical colleges that they may wish to attend (MIT, Stamford).
I my professional life, I am seeing more and more of thes jobs go to non-U.S. educated people.
Give it up. There is NO excuse for dumb dumb math.
