I definitely agree with you about the technology, but my problem with not teaching math is that we need to make the connections and the conceptual understanding. I think you are looking at it from the stand and deliver and just know the procedures the teacher wants you to. I believe we need to teach for understanding and not just the things you can put into a computer. We also need to think about what a mathematician and problem solver would do. Maybe the question isn’t why teach math in 2019, but “How should we teach math in 2019?”
