Grades 1-12 a failing to prepare the kids in Math. Instead of 2 pages of problems for HW, you get one problem where they are concerned about “strategies” to how to solve it.

My 20 year old son is a victim of this as he flunked out of college due to Algebra and Pre-Clac. Even the Private HS was no help as that was why I moved him out of a decent suburban Public School so they kid was have a chance at least. You do have to study however.

If they can master COMMIE CORE Math they can Algebra, it’s not being taught in all states, grandson is HS Freshman, no Algeria on horizon for Sophomore year. Only 22 in the class, small school, that divorced itself from Shelby County like many small towns did when Memphis surrendered their school charter so they would not have to fund schools, dumped it on the county to take over the entire county without spending a dime.

Several in his class have violent/drug rap sheets.

Or let algebra/calculus separate the wheat from the chaff.
