It came to my attention because Hacker briefly quotes me in the piece. Hacker argues that the algebra requirement for all high school students is misguided. Hacker's view is hardly new, but it raised quite a bit of traffic in the blogosphere.</p></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-date field-type-datetime field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Date:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><span class="date-display-single" property="dc:date" datatype="xsd:dateTime" content="2012-10-12T12:00:00-05:00">Friday, October 12, 2012 - 12:00</span></div></div></div><div class='webform-container-closed'><h2>RSVP</h2><div id='rsvpDate'>October 12, 2012</div><div>We're sorry, but RSVPs for this event are closed.
