The NY Post brings us the story of a complete failure. College kids’ math skills worse than ever, California finds — blame our pass-the-buck public schools
High school graduates cannot do basic math.
How basic? In 2023, 13% of students who took a UC San Diego math assessment could not perform at first-grade level, and 25% of kids got the equation 7 + 2 = [ ] + 6 wrong.
This is terrifying — and the worst part is how inevitable the collapse has been.
This is beyond sad.
An 18-year-old can only hide an inability do first-grade math through 11 further years of schooling if no mandatory testing is in place to catch and correct the problem.
That is all thanks to teachers, and the teachers unions. Hat tip to Pirate's Cove - Surprise: The Kiddies Cannot Do Basic Math, Per Report
"I'm a teacher" is almost the same as "I'm a congressman/used car salesman/ambulance chasing lawyer"
