algebra-free high school algebra

Temple and I are writing an op-ed about American high schools, and I just came cross a treasure trove of PowerPoint slides filled with Horror Statistics, so naturally I had to stop dead in my tracks and get one posted on ktm......





This is a case where PowerPoint has a distinct advantage when it comes to conveying the Bad News.

The whole entire key to conveying bad news on PowerPoint is:

one piece of bad news per slide

or, alternatively,

don't bury the bad news inside a bunch of other junk
