About this Quote

This quote by Fran Lebowitz is a reminder that the skills we teach our children ought to be relevant to the future they will face. Instead of teaching them the fundamentals of mathematics, such as subtraction, we must be teaching them the skills they will need to be successful in the future. By teaching them to subtract, we are teaching them to believe critically and analytically, to reason from the information they have, and to make choices based on proof. This is a skill that will be vital in the future, as the world becomes significantly complicated and interconnected. By teaching our children to subtract, we are preparing them for the future and providing the tools they need to be successful.
