[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two causes. first and predominant cause is that schools are passing everyone and doing so with As and A-s.  Secondary is learning loss from COVID.  A lot of kids missed out on the opportunity to learn fundamental math concepts.   [b]US math education is far behind the rest of the world.[/b] [/quote]

This is such BS. In the rest of the world, by the time you get to a school like Mason, those kids would be in trade school not college. People bash the US because we don't pressure kids to leave the college track early or just drop out and our over all scores reflect it. Meanwhile kids from countries that people love to praise fall over themselves to attend US universities [/quote]

Yes, especially against Asian and European countries. Their average math/science high school standard would be close to TJ standards here.[/quote]

That's why immigrants were coming here attempting to go to TJ, because it was as good as average back home [/quote]

Here take a shot at UK A level exams - https://revisionmaths.com/level-maths/level-maths-past-papers/aqa-level-maths-past-papers   Yes they are for kids that want to go on to university study.  Which would be all of TJ.  This is basic math for them.[/quote]

About 20% of the UK students in 6th form year take A Level math each year.
In the US, about 20% of seniors population take AP Calculus.

It's the same. [/quote]
