Yeah, I know that language skills do not necessarily correlate to high math skills.
My brother was very good at math and tested out of all but the highest level calculus his freshman year, but he hated it. My nephew is the same way, majored in actuarial science, and worked at it for a year before going back to school for graduate degree in psychology.
My point was that some other poster claimed that if the schools could raise the cultural level of some of the minorities and teach them to speak good English, they would also develop math skills. I said, no way.
We’re agreed on these points.
Good language skills do not necessarily lead to good math and science skills.
Math and science skills can be developed — even if language skills are lagging (e.g. dyslexics can learn math).
