This article is so true. I do not agree 100% with everything said, but I wish we could get back to those times. I was born in 1940 and my father's generation started the "i deserve more" down slide. My generation really added to It. It is going to take some tough action from the people, as in voting in someone with the guts to do it, to reverse a lot of the laws that hand out money to people that do not deserve it.
This sums it up (Math 1950 to 2013) This goes along with my Letter to the Editor.Originally Posted by Debray
Years of Math 1950 - 2010
The evolution in teaching math since the 1950s:
1. Teaching Math In 1950s

2. Teaching Math In 1960s
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?
3. Teaching Math In1970s
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80. Did he make a profit?
4. Teaching Math In 1980s
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20.
5. Teaching Math In 1990s
A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our woodlands. He does this so he can make a profit of $20.. What do you think of this way of making a
living?
Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes? (There are no wrong answers, and if you feel like crying, it's ok. )
6. Teaching Math In 2009
Un hachero vende una carretada de maderapara $100. El costo de la producciones es $80. Cuanto dinero ha hecho?
7. Teaching Math In 2013
Who cares, just steal the lumber from your rich neighbor's property. He won't have a gun to stop you, and the President says it's OK anyway cuz it's redistributing the wealth.
