Exactly. The Left is making excuses for the poor performance at their schools.
Most students can excel in math, but they're bored by it. They can't see how math applies to their lives.
Plus, math requires lots of practice. Most students don't want to do all that boring math homework.
That's what's really going on.
For the record, I'm not saying that math is boring. I used to think so. But, late in life, I realized math is enjoyable. It's like solving brainteasers and puzzles.
But, many young people don't enjoy it.
Adding to my post: Not only are many students bored by math, but also they’re intimidated by the numbers and figures.
