Community Consolidated School District 46 curriculum coordinator Amanda August:
“even under the new Common Core if even if they said 3 x 4 was 11, if they were able to explain their reasoning and explain how they came up with their answer, really in words and oral explanations and they showed it in a picture but they just got the final number wrong? We’re more focusing on the how and the why.”
The result is massive illiteracy, inability, and stupidity. See "Nearly 80 percent of NYC high school graduates functionally illiterate"
Where can I find the resources on the Internet to learn mathematics in a very linear way? I'm 17 years old and can't even do basic math. I've tried looking around but the sites usually end up incomplete with their material. Does anyone know where I can basic math all the way to calculus? And Chemistry and Physics?
ukFred repeats a common myth. One of the big business stories of the past many years is that most of those math and engineering coming out of India and CHina -- are _terrible_. US firms hiring them often find they need extra or remedial training. By and large the West is still the source for math/science types.

Have you checked Khan Academy (no BS, that's the name) at 'www.khanacademy.org'?

This is what is going on.

Again: mathematicians and scientists are, in poll after poll and study after study, overwhelmingly Democrats. Not just left-liberal. Democrats.
Why else is China manufacturing the products the world needs? We in the west have too few school leavers with even basic numeracy and literacy
