Someone said, “We are not doing enough for our children of color in the area of math, reading and science, never mind in bilingual and special education”. More children are being placed in remedial class for support than ever before. The students just don’t get the subject matter. There is total disagreement amongst the teachers and the parents are left completely in the dark when it comes to education choice made for their children.
If a child comes home with homework and does not understand how to do it, parents often are unable to offer any assistance.
The old way of teaching as and example math is long gone and a new analytical approach is being used. I say, how can we apply this math to everyday life. I have gone into stores to purchase food. I find the cashier can’t perform calculations that are independent of the cash register. They just look at the money in their hand and I tell them how much change I am supposes to get. I also heard that remedial math course are on the incline in college because students are not making the grades on entrance exams. What are we going to do to a system that is failing so many students?
