A comment on Talk: Arthur Benjamin's formula for changing math education

Jul 4 2009: While we can debate the relevence of calculus in real life compared to the relevence of statistics, most will agree the importance of algebra. US highschool often fail to teach algebra, and it seems to me that this is the first question that should be discussed while talking about highschool mathematics.

Afterall, not that many high school students actually take calculus. And as a person who just took calculus, I know that it is impossible to pass the course without solid knowledge of algebra.
