If the intent of the administration of Americas public schools is to move America from the near bottom of the industrial nations of the world in scientific achievement, we must improve what we teach our children in the math classes of America.
To work with the whole number system - 0,1,2,3,... together with the integers...-3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3,... and the rational number system-fraction and decimals is a chance in understanding the dream world of science and engineering.
It took millions of years for the human race to reach the present mathematics status. To deni our children from this knowledge and a chance to look at the science of today is criminal.
