The tertiary students who will become automotive mechanics specialize in
doing calculations that suit them. Horse for course you could say.

Well, we no longer have this in NSW. There is this bleat to have ALL
students do their higher school certificate. So you can now do a
mechanics apprenticeship as part of your HSC. Basically they replace the
mechanics maths course with the useless basic general course.

Classes that are likely to major in science subjects get to learn
algebra and calculus.

Umm, algebra is basic stuff.

hi Terry,

That reminds me of a student who asked if I could teach them algebra
on Friday. I took a look at their prescription and said, "yes".
I based what I taught on DO and UNDO like the computer commands.
It was successful. Too often teachers teach more than is necessary for
the student's needs.

Kind regards,
