well, I took the math test and did not do well. I do fine with arithmetic (adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, knew the formula for the circle, etc.) BUT the vocabulary of Math is not present. It has been 50 years since I have had need of algebra etc. I agree that math teaching is terrible. When a sales person cannot make change, or a person cannot figure out half a recipe or how to double it, it is sad.
I don't want to rant about poorly prepared teachers in all areas but when the teacher cannot make subject and verb agree in a sentence, how can you expect the student to do better?
