Between 2019 and 2023, test scores for American fourth graders in math dropped by 18 points and scores for eighth graders dropped 27 points. Overall, math test scores stagnated, remaining comparable to math test scores from 1995, when the TIMSS began to be administered to students.

”The results are sobering," NCES Commissioner Peggy G. Carr told ABC News. "We started this assessment in 1995, so we have, essentially ... erased the gains that we were seeing for decades."

When compared with students in other countries, students in the U.S. are only in the middle of the pack and behind students in Asian and European countries including Singapore, Japan, the United Kingdom and Poland, according to TIMSS results.

Anti intellectualism era ftw

@BAMSKI congrats on the title placement

dont worry guys, the next gen will solve climate change

Thank you bro!! Only up from here!!

Does this have to do with how they teach math these days to kids? It’s my understanding they changed it correct?

pretty sure every subject is showing a similar decline. literacy in the dumps for instance

no child left behind? more like no child gets ahead lmao. admins just pumping out good "graduation rates" but not actually teaching jack s***

makes sense lotta stupid niggas on here lately

less about that and more about the brain chemistry of young students and young parents

teachers cannot compete with 13 second attention spans

i only say this as i have built somewhat of a mathematics tutoring empire in my state

Shots fired

Kids are passed to the next grade regardless if they know anything or not. No child left behind. Literally.

Hm that’s interesting I never thought about it like that. Do you think it has to do with parents not spending the appropriate time at home with struggle areas as well?

notice how its the US 🤭

What the f*** is a kilometer

It’s dem damn phones

i F***ING HATE MATH !!!

a lot of people underrate how important math education is for kids IMO

0.6214 miles

Schools have been shuttling kids thru school because their funding is based on assessments and graduation rates

If kids can do well there then they don’t have to learn jack s***

This has to change, especially while acknowledging the context of social media and AI

uh oh... ctvnews.ca/canada/canadian-students-math-scores-dipping-for-two-decades-study-suggests-1.6674932

Ya'll know how to do that type of math with the letters ?

Thats enough evidence to get rid of the public education system!

Jesus math

that plus the way schools are funded is by attendance and graduation rate

therefore there is really no consequence for students not learning, when they already dont want to learning or actively fight learning in the first place

they just do not value the education they are getting and where it can take them.

Complete with trump bibles!
