Colleges across the country are grappling with the same problem as academic setbacks from the pandemic follow students to campus. At many universities, engineering and biology majors are struggling to grasp fractions and exponents. More students are being placed into pre-college math, starting a semester or more behind for their majors, even if they get credit for the lower-level classes.

Colleges largely blame the disruptions of the pandemic, which had an outsize impact on math. Reading scores on the national test known as NAEP plummeted, but math scores fell further, by margins not seen in decades of testing. Other studies find that recovery has been slow.

    Try to stay on topic instead of resorting to analogies.

    Failure to comprehend abstraction while arguing against math education. Yep, that checks out.

      🥱

      Lol, you completely ignore the “now we end up debating the accuracy of your analogy instead of the actual topic at hand” part of it.

      Why are people like you incapable of seeing the bigger picture? Lol.
