    Yeah, but even worse, you’re just talking about schools. You forgot about all the kids being home schooled, taught the earth is flat and an imaginary friend created everything in 7 days. Taught by parents who lack proper education themselves.

    Also, it’s kinda obvious the rules of math aren’t different in the US. Even when they use an idiotic measuring system. If people don’t know how to use math properly, the issue clearly is the education and not math itself.

      I’m talking about anyone at all in the U.S. is allowed to teach Maths without any Maths qualifications

      You forgot about all the kids being home schooled

      That happens in other countries too, and yet it’s the U.S. which has been sliding down the world rankings for more than a decade, the country that doesn’t require Maths teachers to have Maths qualifications.

      Also, it’s kinda obvious the rules of math aren’t different in the US

      That’s right, as proven by U.S. Maths textbooks

      If people don’t know how to use math properly, the issue clearly is the education and not math itself

      Partly right. there’s also people who just outright forgot the rules.
