I&#x27;m struggling with whether this is a &quot;good&quot; thing or not.  On the one hand, I can see how it might increase the scores of privileged children relative to the scores of underprivileged children.  On the other hand, should we really divorce math from the &quot;real world&quot; just to make it easier to cram for the test?  In college and in life, you need to use math for applications, not arbitrary one-line computations.
