Don't Call It Algebra; Call It Something Warm And Fuzzy

As Shakespeare wrote, a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

But would Algebra 2 be as difficult if it were called something else?

State Sen. Wayne Kuipers, R-Holland, recently told a gathering of Kent
County school board members that he believes more students would pass
the upper-level math course if it were called something less scary.

His theory is that students have convinced themselves that algebra is
too difficult and that they throw in the towel before giving it a
chance.
