[quote=Anonymous]Yeah, this is concerning to me. Clearly, math proficiency is abysmal, so something should be changed. But is "make math class longer" really the answer? First of all, doesn't this mean districts will need to hire more math teachers? You can't just make all of their classes 33% longer without changing their pay or other responsibilities, right? But rather than just increasing classroom time and crowding out electives, I'd rather see ideas like moving away from ineffective EdTech, focused tutoring, daily homework, etc. BTW, I don't think any association with Jeb Bush should be a reason to discount this. Bad ideas in education are bipartisan. [/quote]
