Re: Don't Call It "Algebra"; Call It Something Warm And Fuzzy

Reminds me of when, years ago, Miss Manners wrote a column  about how,
in her opinion, mandatory charity work at school is good for kids
because "no doubt they do as little as possible and vow never to
return, but isn't that also true of many other subjects they have to
study? Reverse psychology is all very well, but Miss Manners doubts
that removing the algebra requirement would give students a sudden
interest in algebra."
