AIRBORNE: The visit to the 34' Jump Tower was definitely one of the highlights of the Jacksonville BN Educator Tour. After a briefing from a Jump School Black Hat, the tour skipped Ground Week, phase 1 of paratrooper training, and went straight to phase 2, Tower Week, with some exciting results.
The Hill convened lawmakers, math advocates, and educators to discuss U.S. math education and why it’s no longer acceptable to laugh off being “bad at math.”
The downward trends began years before the health crisis, raising questions about a decade of disappointing results for math students and the economic and civic repercussions to come. Unfortunately, “I’m not good at math,” or, “I’m not a math person,” are common refrains that echo through generations of Americans who have traversed a public school system in the U.S.
The downsides of not addressing the problem of math education in the U.S. are steep. Numerate people are needed for the military, for careers in science and medicine, for careers outside science, to close wage gaps among demographic groups and to ensure that the U.S. and all citizens can grow and succeed and stay competitive.
Which states are leading the charge to solve the math crisis? How did the coronavirus wreak havoc on math? And how can the United States close the performance gaps between advantaged and disadvantaged student groups?
