bob: "Remember when they tried 'New Math'…"

I was in 9th Grade, IIRC, when they initiated New Math. Having a good grounding in "old" math, I could understand what they were getting at, and had some idea what they were trying to do, but I thought it was silly and useless and would surely be totally confusing to those who didn't have such a good basic grounding. Hey, I was right about something! (Once, long ago.)
