"Language and mathematics are the mother tongues of our rational selves - that is, of the human race - and no student should be permitted to be speechless in either tongue, whatever value he places on his special gifts, and however sure he may be at sixteen or eighteen that he knows the uses to which his mind will eventually be put. This would be like amputating his left hand because he did not seem to be ambidextrous. It is crippling to be illiterate in either, and the natural curriculum does not choose between them."
