« A holiday message not for the ears of tiny tots with their eyes all aglow | Main | Vote in the Asimov's Readers' Award poll »

Dropping algebra

My good friend Michael Harrison has produced a very funny critique of the Iraq Algebra Study Group:

We think that direct talks with these math brains might lead to insights and opportunities for joint studying and maybe even structured tutoring. We know Timmy has differences with these two, accusing them, at times, of busting the curve and intentionally being know-it-all math weenies, but it’s time to focus on the goals and tasks at hand.  [full piece]
Poor Timmy, trapped in a world he doesn't understand.
