Your Idea that we get beyond the math wars is certainly a more productive Idea than having the parties keep sniping at each other. <BR/><BR/>It's much more productive to think of the students (Iimagine that!) than some partisan side of an academic debate. <BR/><BR/>And, as in many debates, both sides have some good points and some bad. Since neither have been successful at educating all children to an optimal level, it's probably safe to assume that neither has nothing to gain by keeping open their minds open. <BR/><BR/>May I invite you and your readers to check out my (incomplete, probably flawed, but possibly interesting) thoughts about the math wars at <A HREF="http://mathmojo.com/chronicles/2008/07/27/math-wars/" REL="nofollow">The MathMojo Chronicles</A>?<BR/><BR/>Your blog looks fascinating, and I'll be back to read more.<BR/><BR/>All the best, <BR/><BR/>Brian (a.k.a.
