Not Your Mother's Algebra

Math textbooks these days make heavy use of what they call "real-life applications" to keep students interested in the subject.  Today, I came across one "real-life application" called (in bold type): Punkin Chunkin.  Which means, I guess, tossing pumpkins.

Is this how we educate our children these days?
