Related thought. It's wild to me that basically every high school kid ends up taking algebra 2 and trig, and many end up taking calculus. An pretty much nobody uses that stuff in real life. But did anyone actually take stats in high school? It wasn't even an option for me. Seems way more useful, no?
Why not both? (speaking as someone who does regularly use calculus). I had a stat class in my public high school, but it may have only been offered one year. I definitely think it can offer critical thinking while being a more "accesible" math.
