That is a valid point.

One of things I noticed when I was in HS (~10 years ago) was that since it was such a new phenomenon to teach stats in public HS, the teacher was essentially learning alongside us. This was no fault of his own, but simply that when he was training to teach, the value of teaching everyone basic stats was not appreciated.

I can only hope that trend will change.



Considering how awful college stats classes are, I don't see high school getting any better.
