Funny you said this. I just had this very discussion with our curriculum instructor. We were leaning linear equations so I throw in a real life situation. It was on 2 different cell phone plans. They had to pick the best deal based on price per min and price per text. Lets just say I am going to go in the cell phone business soon because I will be rich. These kids could NOT do it. I told them I would be the new company to rip them off.
It is very very sad because these kids are our future.
But we have to focus on state testing not real life stuff they will use!
