[quote=Anonymous]The focus should be on:

Training teachers not to say in front of students: "I don't get math, I can not teach it." Set by example, students mimic teachers vibes and they start saying "I'm not good in math." Provide more training for teachers.

The above also applies to parents who are helping their kids with math outside of school instruction. If you say to your kid "I don't like math", they too are going to start feeling the same and then we have generations of kids after feeling the same. Keep it to yourself. If school districts can assist parents/guardians to refresh their math skills so they can also guide their kids, even better. That requires $.

The focus should be on standards up to whatever is taught in Algebra 2, or back in the day - Trigonometry. Precalculus and Calculus and other levels of Calculus can be upper level courses for those wanting to further their math skills & go into college majors and careers that require higher levels of math. Focus on K-10 math also aligns with what is presented on the college entrance (optional) tests such SAT and ACT.[/quote]
