A good society relies on an excellent education system that equips everyone with basic math, logic, and systems thinking. When these skills are lacking, the system fails both individuals and organizations.
Many professional doctors, attorneys, and nurses often lack fundamental mathematical and logical skills, making it difficult for them to address everyday problems outside their areas of specialization.
My experience at Lone Star College CyFair demonstrates the stakes: a Precalculus instructor and six students mistakenly accused me of being a registered sex offender. The school’s failure to resolve this issue, due to outdated systems, highlights how weak foundational skills and processes can lead to serious, prolonged errors, even where some faculty members, like Luis David Molina, promote critical thinking.
People like me exist worldwide: students first, teachers second, striving for a better world for everyone not just the privileged or those who are dishonest. Achieving this depends on making fundamental educational skills widespread.
