Abstract
The National Advisory Committee on Mathematics Education (NACOME) has done the field of mathematics education a service by its preparation of the NACOME report, “Overview and Analysis of School Mathematics, Grades K–l2.” I feel that the Mathematics Teacher is also doing a service by publishing reactions to the NACOME report from the perspectives of three institutions concerned with school mathematics—elementary/secondary education. teacher education, and Morris Kline. From the viewpoint of a person who has responsibility for the mathematics program in a large school system, I feel that the information and recommendations contained in the report are very useful. I believe that my colleagues who are teachers and supervisors will find that the report tends to support many of their opinions about the current state of mathematics education. The report is particularly refreshing to me because it confirms and documents many of the convictions I had previously held.
