  A report to the nation on the future of mathematics education
  (Washington, DC: National Research Council/Mathematical Sciences Education Board, 1989)
  (from Summary)

  As technology has 'mathematicized' the workplace and as mathematics has permeated society, a complacent America has tolerated underachievement as the norm for mathematics education. We have inherited a mathematics curriculum, conforming to the past, blind to the future, and bound by a tradition of minimum expectations (page 5)

   

  Everyone depends on the success of mathematics education; everyone is hurt when it fails. Mathematics must become a pump rather than a filter in the pipeline of American education (page 11)
