Once again, we still live with that legacy today. Arguably, one might say it even has led to the modern crisis of credit, inability of people to understand loans and mortgages, etc., because those practical math elements were expunged or downplayed in the new curriculum.
Now we have a new generation of corporate foundations seeking to interfere with education and put their mark on it. I'm sure they'll do a few good things, as all the previous reforms did, but they'll also have some disastrous long-term consequences, as the previous reforms continue to have....
This should be Post of the Month. All this push for math and yet nothing is taught on relevant business math to all except a few that major in the subject.

I presume people have modded it funny because they have forgotten Nixon was forced to resign over 18 minutes of missing tape out of 200 hrs of conversation related to the break in at Watergate.
and the picture of Nixon's secretary showing how she accidently pressed a foot switch while talking on a phone opposite desk, and the position she was in (awkward). It looked so hokey this "18 minutes" was obvious conspiracy.
Seeing this article, I immediately remembered the book Innovative Linear Circuits by Jim Williams (by EDN, 1985). Though dated it has lots of interesting techniques (much of it I have forgot, but incentive to re-learn this stuff). Here's something mildly amusing,
A quiz of various circuits (and how to make imperfect components function perfectly together), and ratings of correct answers:
Number: Rating
20-25: Circuit designer
15-20: Electrical engineer
10-15: TTL jockey
5-10: Microprocessor scholar
0-5: Computer programmer
