Abstract
High School Data Science Review: Why Data Science Education Should Be Reformed
Highlights
My father is a professor of statistics
Column Editor’s note: In this column Angelina Chen, a current high school student, writes about the importance of data science education for the pre-college crowd, and in particular for secondary students. This is the perspective of one student who had early exposure to statistics, but the lessons she has learned along the way are more broadly applicable
I learned that statistics meant finding the mean, median, and mode of a set of numbers and drawing this set on a graph, like a connect-the-dots or a cityscape
Summary
My father is a professor of statistics. I was aware of this fact since I was very young. I learned that statistics meant finding the mean, median, and mode of a set of numbers and drawing this set on a graph, like a connect-the-dots or a cityscape. No new information was added to my knowledge of statistics until I had the option to take a statistics elective in high school, as the core math curriculum very rarely delved into statistics at all.
