It's not about learning 1+1=2 anymore, it's about how we feel about it.
Bullshit!

numbers are numbers, across all languages and logic. so what the fuck is this nonsense? what schoolboard full of pantloads thought this was a good idea?

Still, there's that "if". But yeah, after doing factoring long enough (2 semesters ago I left that comment) I can more easily see the factor without guessing.

There's less guessing than you think:
To factor ax^2+bx+c, find two numbers p and q so that pq=ac and p+q=b
Then it's a(x+p/a)(x+q/a); if all numbers are integers you can distribute factors so no fractions appear.
If you expand that all out you can see it always works:
a(x+p/a)(x+q/a)=a(x^2+(p+q)/a*x+pq/a^2)=ax^2+(p+q)x+pq/a=ax^2+bx+ac/a
=ax^2+bx+c
It turns out that if p<=q then p=(b-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2 and q=(b+sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2
but this is as hard to remember as the quadratic formula.

Where did they show in that report that the "fuzzy math" was fuzzy? Where did they show that kids were just finding "an answer rather than the answer." This makes no sense. It's math, there is no opinion. And if the reporter wants to think you can always follow a set a-b-c path to answer he hasn't tried factoring polynomials. A whole lot of guessing there.

Reason we all should stick to one math concept...its worked since the 1700's and before that
