Like actually applied/related to the usage in real world situations and every day problems? Rather than 'two trains going opposite directions at 35mph, how far apart are they after 4 hours and when do they meet again', etc. Geometry example. Rather than talking about a bunch of triangles on the blackboard. Go physically prove or disprove the walls of the building/classroom are "square" using the Pythagorean (sp?) theory of right triangles. Pretty much, yeah. However, you have to understand that it's very hard to cover all the material necessary in one school year and still bring all the students along. Then, with No Child Left Behind, you end up teaching to a test and making everyone average. Our education system is an antiquated one set up for an agrarian and factory society. L2S
