Don't force higher math on our kids

I am about to be highly critical of the new math curriculum to which our children are being subjected. Before doing so, let me state for the record that I am not a Philistine. Personally, I happen to enjoy math — enough to return to school after retirement and take college-level courses to find out what this thing I'd heard of, calculus, was all about.
