RE: US gains in math and science ed...Really?
I think this is nothing but some teacher's utopia of what is really happening. Students in the US irrespective of what "state" is measured are no longer able to deal with basic math.
A teacher I spoke with stated that he had several students in his high school class who had given up on math but were still being moved forward. The students are no longer graded, they just train to pass the standards.
I do not believe that the public school in the US is a school any longer. It's more a place of indoctrination rather than a place of learning.
History is being rewritten to match politically correct liberal ideals; science is rewritten to ignore facts and evidence and to base itself on theories. Math, well, you ask a high school graduate to complete a basic equation, and you'll have your answer.
I believe we need impartial testing and I also believe we need to remove the so-called department of education and start all over.
