[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 2470637, member: 13337"] I work as an Instructional Support Specialist in the College of Education at OSU,,, You would not believe the arguments against a "consumer math" course,,, All of the emphasis is now on math to support the sciences,,, Nothing about giving the students some tools for life. The arguments fall under the "We can't tell them how to run their lives" category. A few years ago I worked with an undergraduate,,, Her major was elementary education,,, Her specialty was Math. She has two extra certifications in math instruction,,, Over and above what is required to teach elementary school. One day I was working while she was at a desk with a calculator,,, She was mumbling and cursing a blue streak,,, I asked her what was wrong,,, She gave this reply. "I can't figure out if I have any money. I don't know how to balance the checkbook and my husband is out of town." I was a major face-palm moment.
