This page is pretty rampant with non-NPOV sentiments, isn't it? -Chinju
Maybe. Why don't you try to fix it? :P wshun 21:39, 27 Sep 2003 (UTC)
[edit] Mathematics education in Australia
I propose that the orphaned article Mathematics education in Australia be merged into this one, perhaps in a section highlighting mathematics education in various countries around the world. I don't feel the other article deserves its own place (the orphan status should be evidence enough of that). --JStalk 19:38, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
- I disagree. While such a section in this article would be an excellent addition, it would take a lot of research to write intelligently, and I'm not sure that a broad comparison should include even the scant amount of detail found at Mathematics education in Australia. I created that article as an outlet for those students who feel compelled to write Wikipedia articles on Applicable mathematics, Maths X, and what have you. You're welcome to AfD the poor thing; I'll probably vote weak keep without much conviction! Melchoir 19:53, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
- Weren't there articles on Maths A, Maths B etc. a few days ago? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to merge their content into Mathematics education in Australia (which would then be long enough to justify its independent existence)? —Blotwell 19:00, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
- Yep, they were deleted in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Maths A. It was charged that they were inaccurate and/or promotional, so I'm not sure that their content should have been merged. Melchoir 19:10, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
- Since this is no longer about Mathematics education I'm going to reply on "in Australia"'s talk page. --JStalk 19:58, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Collected U.S. material into one section
There were chunks of material about controversies in modern U.S. mathematics education scatterd throughout the article. This broke up the flow of the article and made it difficult to read. I have re-arranged the article to collect all the material about modern U.S. mathematics education into one section. I did not attempt to edit any of this material - I have just done a cut-and-paste job. It would be a good idea if someone edited this section to remove duplication and make it more NPOV - but please keep it all together in one place. Gandalf61 11:54, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
