Dislikes
HB 3706 mandates time, not quality. Without specifying what kind of math is taught, it risks enforcing more Common Core–style math, not restoring real math fundamentals.
Math jobs are some of the first that will be replaced by AI. We're cutting art and music and creative and moral education, and pushing more math, rather than quality education.
