Data Fluency in High School Math

Most high school students are barely exposed to data. Only ten per cent of high school students take a statistics class. It seems to me that the years we now devote to topics like geometry and trigonometry would be better spent focusing on achieving data fluency. A natural place to start is by changing the incentives faced by teachers and schools. How students perform on tests can determine school funding, teacher bonuses, whether a principle is fired, and even whether a school will be shut down.
