[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Is the problem these kids are not learning the material or are they not retaining the material? If they are indeed earning 5s on an AP exam then I would argue the latter... How do you fix that? I don't know. [/quote] It’s both. If you read the report, at the end, there are a bunch of statements made by math tutors at UCSD. One of them said students literally never encountered concepts like factoring in their K-12 education. Another mentioned that students got through earlier math courses by “plug and chug” and never realized that they needed the material in later courses [/quote]
