Can you explain your reasoning for agreeing or disagreeing with her statements in a manner that displays an understanding of the base sociological and anthropological concepts used to make these assertions?

I am assuming Dill did as he pointed to "sensible, well-grounded points about both the history of mathematics and present day teaching of the subject."

All I have to go on is the quotes from the OP and that is why I referenced them.  I will say I find it odd that a mathematics teacher would point to the societal impact/ perception of mathematics. I know how to shoot a gun; however, I may not be the best person to speak on their impact on society.
