Arthur Benjamin's TED Talk

Benjamin's idea was that our school system has calculas at the top of the math pyramid while probability and statistics should in reality be at the top. Since very few people use calculus in their profession, and the average person uses probability and statistics  or could used these in every day life, putting probability and statistics as a more desireable class would help it's students more in the future. Proability is used in gambling, buying products, and investing. If our general populas could master this, people could be more well off and have an increased life style. This change would take effect very easily. At Arapahoe, students must aply to enter into AP Probability and Statistics while those who don't get accepted into this must take Calculas. If this were to switch, then more of the students would learn and master this math form. This would be easily switched and be more effective for the education system and the country.
