A very brief history on how we lost our education

After putting men on the moon in 1969 (or advancing Hollywood's special effects department several notches), reformers in our country decided we were too advanced for the rest of the world. They developed a "new math" program that would help to level the playing field. Used during the 70's, the U.S. started sliding.

In 1989, the NCTM (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics) wrote a standard that gutted basic math skills and has devastated our scientific and technical fields. Their 2000 standard added only the slightest amount of rigor back into their standards and still lags other countries. In other words, we've lowered the bar in the name of political correctness.
