[quote=Anonymous]I see massive erosion of the primary educational system in all of this. 7th graders not capable of Algebra is quite likely because they didn't get adequately proficient in their basic math facts in 3rd, 4th, 5th, et cetera. It all compounds. It's like trying to build a house on quicksand. Without solid footing, you have nothing to build on, it all erodes and crumbles away just as fast as you try and build. A lot of bad ideas and bad educational theory, a lot of "these poor kids, let's just focus on giving them a few hours in a safe environment and worry about the rest later" - basically its DCPS degenerating into nothing but a glorified daycare, which delivers failure with compound interest as kids go from one grade to the next.[/quote]
