The Algebra dispute.

by Fred Klonsky

I knew my math teacher friends would not be happy when I tweeted agreement with the Sunday NY Times article by Andrew Hacker questioning whether Algebra was necessary.
And they weren’t happy.
Soon my Facebook page was filled with counter arguments.
My friend Arthur posted a response by Daniel Willingham to Hacker’s NY Times column which defended algebra.
