It&#x27;s hard to know exactly what would work for ALL students.<p>Honestly, for me, the issue is &quot;one size fits all&quot; that the vast majority of our students get.<p>I learned math just fine the way it was taught. Sure, it was boring at times, and I was mathematically inclined, but it worked for me.<p>For others, it clearly doesn&#x27;t work.<p>We have to ask ourselves, what exactly do we want people to know who don&#x27;t want to learn math. What is the &quot;bottom line&quot; that we need a citizen to know?<p>Algebra 2? Trig? 
Some combination of Algebra and basic math finance concepts?<p>That&#x27;s the main question. And it&#x27;s very difficult to answer for ALL students.<p>I don&#x27;t know what the answer is, but adopting one method for all students isn&#x27;t the answer.
