I think a lot of you are missing the point of the thread. He isn't saying to discourage anyone from pursuing higher math and the sciences he is just saying that it is dumb to require them to go past algebra if they already have no idea of what is going on. I have taught geometry (the course after algebra in our district) and none of the seniors or juniors have any idea of what is going on. The freshmen do and that is why we should encourage them to go forward but why make the seniors keep trying to get that extra credit?

EDIT: And there are a ton of jobs (like it or not it is where this country is at) that require no use of any math beyond algebra.
