[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A mom who was born abroad once drew a graph for me about the problem with math in the U.S. Basically you have time on the x axis and the y axis is knowledge expected. From K-5 the line edges up very slowly. It's not exactly flat but you're not really moving too quickly. But then in 6th-12th you suddenly have to climb a steep mountain and that's where lots of kids start to fail. In her home country the build up was more like a straight line and steady so kids did not crash once they got to pre-Algebra or Algebra. [/quote] This is so sad. I wonder if the curriculum is changing because we have so many FARMS and immigrants coming into school with very limited basics and it goes too fast for them. This way they get everyone to a certain baseline? [/quote]
