[quote=Anonymous]Math has generally gotten weaker in the US over the last number of decades. This over time leads to smaller pool of teachers that are actually strong enough in math to allow deeper knowledge and love of the subject. Parents are largely in the same boat, so they don’t demand deeper math knowledge from the school. There is the argument that accelerated doesn’t mean they have better math knowledge, but for kids actually strong in math that isn’t true at all. Parents like that argument because it makes them feel that their kid is getting something as good, but in reality they just don’t know what they are missing. And don’t forget that most parents of kids in most expensive privates have strong preconceptions of quality of education in publics. We supplement at one of these schools to keep kids ahead of what school offers in math. Also I think it’s important for them to see teacher that are actually strong at math.[/quote]
