I don't think more than a couple of my high school teachers could do that. I was never even taught statistics or probability, and I made it through three years of college. It isn't these teachers who have failed, it is those who taught their teachers. Public education is an embarrassment. I really think that everything I learned in all those years of schooling I could have learned by the fourth grade. If it weren't for video games, i'm not sure I would have ended up literate.
