BPR: A new report out of the University of California San Diego is raising educational alarm bells as American students fall further behind.
As public schools continue to fail the children of the United States, universities across the country are beginning to offer classes to review foundational math skills. CEO and founder of the Center for Education Reform, Jeanne Allen, joined Fox News’ “America Reports” on Thursday to discuss the shocking trend and how it could be remedied. more
like i told my young son years ago “you cannot buy eminems for 50cent”
Grade-Flation, Participation Awards, Never Fail, & MAFF.
Sons been doing University math for 4 years and I can’t touch his skill set. Prick does better with the Ladies too.
the little smart ass gave me a box of rocks for christmas that year. from the drive too.
I never could do math. And I’m a Marine biologist.
that’s what software is for.
I hate software.
Remember the push to redefine math and how it’s taught by Obama and Gates?
It was called Common Core.
They were warned it was a bad idea as parents would no longer be able to help there kids with math homework because only morons understood what the Common Core methods were.
Well here we are.
Who was shocked by this “revelation?”
Ever since, well you know, Little Rock and all that …
Our schools have been “failing” since (at least) the mid fifties and everyone – EVERY-FUCKING-ONE knows it.
mortem tyrannis
izlamo delenda est …
I bet they know all them genders though, that’s what’s really important.
Womens fault.
They want to make school kinder and gentler for dummies, so they don’t feel bad for being dumb. So we’ll just make everyone else stupid, too.
Repeal the 19th.

They were never taught how to count using their fingers and toes either.
When it comes to math, there are three types of people in the world: those who can do math and those who cannot do math.
Meth, err, math – not even once.
Not true. We don’t even know what percentage means.
Like they are going to learn their addition and multiplication tables now?
You evil Communists just refuse to accept their Emotional Math
Who needs math? I gots a cacalater.
College students can’t do math or writing? No wonder we need hundreds of thousands oh H-B1 guys to take jobs Americans can’t do.
This has been going on since at least since the early 60’s with the introduction of new math which screwed up how math was taught. What else is new the democraps and the so-called academic elites destroyed math to dumb down kids so that they couldn’t even perform simple math just like they did with the look say Dick and Jane bs teaching kids how to read by not teaching phonics. Thank God that I was old enough in the early 60’s to escape most of that indoctrination.
Sort of proves the point that as long as they get paid, colleges will let even stupid people with no chance at all of getting jobs in. It’s nothing but a big scam!!
I also remember educators stating the correct answer wasn’t important as long as the correct Common Core methods were used in trying to obtain the answers.
This doesn’t seem to add up…
your child can not add 3 plus 7 but the school librarian is retiring with a $200,000. annual salary for life. Teacher’s Union has ruined education completely….said it for decades…
Education is silly.
A GPS device in Spanish or Arabic and you can get a good paying job as an over the road truck driver.
I invented math
Yes Brian, but can you solve this:
∫seˣdx = ?
∫ s eˣ dx = ?
(Maybe that’s more readable?)
Stupid so-called teachers baby-sitting stupid so-called students parroting stupid so-called math means the whole pile of garbage is aimed at the lowest common denominator (not that anyone knows what a denominator is). In other words, it’s boxes of rocks all the way down to the sack of hammers.
no problem, they can count higher than ten with an unzip or de-bra
maff bez cultural-bias, yo!
As long as they know grams and kilos, some will make really big money.
“Drugs have taught an entire generation of kids the metric system

The comunists plotted, and we elected mconnells and boehners. The communists won.
And you want to get rid of the H1B visa program.
These are the engineers of tomorrow.
No one is allowed to be an individual in a Communist culture State. Reading, writing and arithmetic are the first to go. Reducing cognitive skills make the proletariat easier to control. Also, dividing people into as many sub-classes as possible adds to the make things more limited and restricted.
