Poor Math Scores Are Now a National Security Threat

"The United States must focus on helping American children to develop an understanding, appreciation, and love for math.

Some of the problems with this are:
- The math teachers in American public schools must have an understanding, appreciation, and love for math.
- The students in American public schools are increasingly not English-speaking Americans.
- The subculture in American public schools is increasingly anti-education.

I design the electrical distribution system. The company I work for has been hiring almost all minorities and females.

I’m in QA/QC…

(+)I know I will always have a job somewhere due to unqualified personnel.
(-)I have looked at some jobs and just started laughing.

My experience is only as my time in school.
I took College Algebra, Trig, Pre Calc, Calc I II III, Diff Eq, & Linear Algebra.
100% white students. NE Florida area.

Then, there’s the application of Math in other classes.
Stoichiometry, Dynamics, Statics, Laminar flow models, Electromagnetics, etc.

Dear Lord…

[Tell It Right]

I'm in my 50's and got a BS in computer science in Sweet Home Alabama. I had to take up to Cal 2 (starting in Trig 1 in college because of the math placement test). Virtually everybody in my math courses were white males and some Asians. My freshmen CS courses had some mixture for the first couple of courses, but many folks changed majors. By my senior courses about 75% were white male, one white female, two black males (one of which I worked with for a while and he's smart with a good work ethic), 0 black females, 0 Hispanic males or females, and almost everybody else from Asian countries.

And that's pretty much what my programmer coworkers have looked like. When we talk about how we got into IT, some of us talk about starting it as a hobby as teenagers programming Trash 80's or C-64's (I'm showing my age LOL). Almost everybody who talks about it gives credit to having a father in his life.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

But we just need to pay our teachers more…to not teach.

This is deliberate, so the USA will collapse. It’s the same reason we’re replacing Americans with illegals and American workers with H1Bs and illegals.

HELLO!

I saw it and already pinged it out.

I notice these articles. I’m on FR often enough.

I AM BEYOND GRATEFUL FOR HAVING GONE TO A ONE ROOM SCHOOL
