Notes"There is absolutely no evidence that knowledge of calculus causes greater success in college; there is only an association.

"If kids cannot pay attention in school, it may be less because they have ADHD and more because we have a mismatch between the needs and desires of students today and the national standards-based education based on the efficiencies of a classroom created before World War I."
