[Political Junkie Too]

I wonder if the problem is less that our student's can't learn STEM, and more that our teachers can't teach STEM anymore.

The teachers are also a product of the last generation of university education, too.

Teach, hell! They can't "do" the math themselves. Schools should be hiring retired engineers and chemists to teach math and science, but the "managers" of the "ed biz" put far more value on the "teaching credential" than actually knowing the subject matter.
