Cause it’s useless, you found yourself in no situation to use those skills that you knew. These skills are literally used no where but school. Simply cause it “improves” critical thinking, when all they do is just give us formulas to remember and follow steps. There is no critical thinking involved, just following the right steps.

The absences are DEFINITELY a huge cause for this. I’m a Freshman in college and consider myself a math guy, and I’ve noticed a direct correlation between the number of days I’ve skipped class and my performance in class. I was among the best in class up until my late junior and senior year when I drove myself to school. I started to miss more and fell behind in class. It also heavily depends on the teacher. Not necessarily how good they are at teaching, but nowadays how engaging they are since we do suffer from short attention spans.
You are an idiot, that’s what I’m saying, parents need to be more involved. It’s only common sense parents will help their kids with hw. Dude use common sense🙄.
The last 3 years of high school, i haven’t learned anything in math. Calculators and desmos was always allowed so there was no use in understanding math, which i think should be scaled down. My focus was on grade and not on understanding, im starting to regret not taking it seriously.
@yorev26good, grades are the only thing that matters anyway, that and you ACT or SAT score. If you are whining about not learning anything, go do a mechanical engineering major or physics major and then tell me how you arent doing enough learning 😂. Just get the grades and get out guys. Its just school
The issue is that people are not taking education seriously at all. This includes parents, teachers, and, most importantly, the kids themselves. Parents aren't on top of their kids when it comes to school. They don't check to see if they did their homework or school work. If they do, they don't test them to see what they know. When I was in elementary school, my parents and grandparents would always check my work and test me, especially before exams. Many teachers are great, but some just don't care. Even if they are great teachers, the school system makes them pass kids along who aren't ready. Also, if a teacher is great but the parents and students do not want to cooperate with them, they can't really do much. Finally, the kids. It seems like every generation falls behind the last. These days, all kids seem to care about is acting like celebrities/gangsters, social media, and vices. They don't care about the future or about their reputation. This leads them to barely put any effort into school. Their parents don't stay on top of them at home, and the school system just keeps passing them along. It's essentially a big self-fulfilling prophecy.
Back when I was in high school (about 15 years ago), I actually tutored some kids in math during a little "semester" period our school would have each week. Most of the kids I got along with fine, but I definitely had some kids that just had no interest at all in trying to learn or improve and just wanted to talk to their friends or fool around whenever I was trying to help them. I even remember seeing teachers trying hard to motivate kids and convince them to give a crap, but I never saw them succeed. I can't speak for what the root cause might be, but I definitely do agree that it seems like some kids just give up.
I think social media and using technology (computers. etc.) is another factor. Distraction: Social media can be a significant distraction, leading students to spend less time on their studies and more time on platforms like Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok Distraction: Students might be tempted to use computers for non-educational purposes, such as social media, games, or browsing unrelated websites, which can detract from their learning. Technical Issues: Computers and other technology can sometimes malfunction or experience technical issues, disrupting the learning process and causing frustration. Overreliance on Technology: Relying too heavily on technology can reduce students' ability to perform tasks without it, such as basic math calculations or handwriting skills.
Same. I always hated math when I was in high school. By far my worst subject. Most math we learn in high school is completely USELESS in our lives after we graduate. What do we use algebra and geometry for? Schools need to teach more math that we use in real life as adults and that includes financial literacy. That was the only math in high school that I actually excelled at. I barely got by in everything else. I graduated high school in 2020 so I already had one foot out the door. For much younger kids, the impact on their education during covid was devastating.
More advanced math is not needed in everyday life unless you have a very specific job. I have literally never used anything other than basic arithmetic in my life. All those years learning how to find the area of a rectangle and other BS things were wasted.
@@afox1689It's true that you don't really need higher level math for everyday life, but i'd say a little bit of basic and simple algebra (not higher level algebra) can still be important, because you need to be able to solve for unknown variables like spending limits, expected money left over after taxes and buying needs like food, or how much money you have to save to have x amount in years

I think it’s because US makes it EASY for kids. They want “every child to pass and succeed” regardless of their academics.

Yeah, I did great in everything on my ACT. However, I received a 16 on my math score. Same with my SAT score, I received a 500 on the math score. I don't know math whatsoever.
Learning something boring usually doesnt leave the best results (at least from my observation). The things you'll remember the most are often the more interesting or somewhat entertaining subjects. Math was easily the most boring thing to learn in school though. Its no wonder most people arent that good at it
Hahahah I just finished taking Elementary Differential Equations after getting over 100% on exams 1-3. I didn't study at all for the final exam since I never learned series and sequences in the final chapter because of skipping Calc 2 with high school credit. I still got a 70% on the final using logic and common sense. Hahahahahahha. I took Algebra 1 in 7th grade when there are seniors taking it hahahahah. My strategy so far is to do so good on the first few exams that I could literally tank a 0% on the final and still get an A in the class ;)

It’s the darn phone, how are we, the next generation so terrible, we are suppose to be on top but that don’t look likely, I am a eighth grader myself and I am sad in being in this doomed generation, how do we not know how to add integers. I can’t imagine being apart of that group, I take my education seriously which most don’t. And not only the phone is causing this, it’s the way we are being taught, I am doing geometry now and my teacher does not teach good at all. I have to study my self and learn it in another way or else she’ll get mad.
I'm about the same age of you and I get it it is easy to just point fingers instead of diving deeper It depends on your district, classrooms, students and the educaters that the district or state hire some districts hire just about anyone off the street with no certification or training
@ Ik our education system is trash wished our government would focus more. Yea Covid is the reason for some fall back but Covid is not the reason for everything. My district, is not the best as well. I say this because some teachers are bad and just gives tests which students don’t know much which makes me think they want us to fail, but for what??
Math was easily my worst subject in high school. I was not often absent. Maybe if American schools taught math that's applicable to real life situations, scores would improve. The only math that I excelled at was financial literacy and you use that for your entire adult life. What the hell are we using algebra and geometry for in our lives? I was so traumatized by useless high school math that I ran away from it after I graduated in 2020. I'm trying right now to get a math tutor. I currently go to Nassau Community College and if I do choose to go to a four year college in the future, there is no doubt in my mind that I will have to take a remedial math course.
We like to point at math for being non-applicable but every other subject also is pointless in real life. We just have terrible attention spans and can't think abstractly. Case in point, in Asia, math is even more boring and less applicable. Of course there's major problems in East Asia when it comes to student stress. But they are succeeding in math scores.
@@Victor-n3l7tEvidently someone deleted your brain because education is a state issue. The Dept of Education simply oversees and provides additional funding. Consider enrolling in a civics class.
It has nothing to do with public vs. private. If anything, it’s a private school issue because those institutions inflate the hell out of student grades.
@ that wasn’t an opinion lol the numbers we track clearly show private school kids scoring higher (consistently) and on an uptrend. My opinion: think it’s due to better funding, lack of bureaucracy, and better decision making
It is not phones it is the states, districts and teachers not phones or anything like that well phones do have a factor in scores it is not a major factor like funding and teachers
It's almost like the way we are taught math is awful. We don't learn math, we memorize it.

Look directly at an analog clock and ask the question again.
Adults don’t wanna learn either. This is old news
Learning something boring usually doesnt leave the best results (at least from my observation). The things you'll remember the most are often the more interesting or somewhat entertaining subjects.
Math was easily the most boring thing to learn in school though. Its no wonder most people arent that good at it
It’s no surprise. Most students are cheating through their assignments using stuff like PhotoMath.
It’s the educators they hire
Exactly
Wow, it’s almost like common core isn’t working 🤔🤔🤔
Student test scores reveal sharp drop in math performance.
Really students' excessive usage of social media didn't give away the slightest clue?🤔🤷♂
I blame racism,
Bro racism has nothing to do with how well or poorly you do in your academics 😅
I hear dat!
Meatball Ron thought Maths is too Woke
& Banned all the Maths Books in Florida. 🤣🤣
That’s the Democrats
Even with the internet, kids today are unintelligent, and lazy. I manage people and kids now are way worse off than ever.
Hahahah I just finished taking Elementary Differential Equations after getting over 100% on exams 1-3. I didn't study at all for the final exam since I never learned series and sequences in the final chapter because of skipping Calc 2 with high school credit. I still got a 70% on the final using logic and common sense. Hahahahahahha. I took Algebra 1 in 7th grade when there are seniors taking it hahahahah. My strategy so far is to do so good on the first few exams that I could literally tank a 0% on the final and still get an A in the class ;)
Their test scores are in the skibidi toilet. Big surprise!
what’s 9 plus 10
I blame my teacher 😂
Ok. So it’s. Not covid. What year did race to the top fully go into effect? Oh. Right. 2014….
We have calculators and AI brain chips coming soon, I’m not learning all that when I can download it.
Math sucks,😤 but it is everywhere. Masters of Arithmetic can get you enough in life. 🌍 🥳 🎈
Screw Algebra, Calculus etc.😂 😅
Ofcourse! It’s America! What do you expect?
Its almost as if we should be learning actual useful math that applies to the real world instead of how to graph a polynomial function of my ti84 graphing calculator 18 different ways
OG Fortnite is taking over
My math is bad but it’s due to a disability. History is my thing got a 3.8 gpa in college made deans and honors too
Poweracismen NYC 😢
It’s the darn phone, how are we, the next generation so terrible, we are suppose to be on top but that don’t look likely, I am a eighth grader myself and I am sad in being in this doomed generation, how do we not know how to add integers. I can’t imagine being apart of that group, I take my education seriously which most don’t. And not only the phone is causing this, it’s the way we are being taught, I am doing geometry now and my teacher does not teach good at all. I have to study my self and learn it in another way or else she’ll get mad.
I'm about the same age of you and I get it it is easy to just point fingers instead of diving deeper It depends on your district, classrooms, students and the educaters that the district or state hire some districts hire just about anyone off the street with no certification or training
@ Ik our education system is trash wished our government would focus more. Yea Covid is the reason for some fall back but Covid is not the reason for everything. My district, is not the best as well. I say this because some teachers are bad and just gives tests which students don’t know much which makes me think they want us to fail, but for what??
Oh yea, that's me. I suck at math 🙃
What! I can "reed" and "white" my math is good to, 1+6= 69.
Right**
@JayAlba8 You didn't get the sarcasm.
yeah, ai is great for everything, also lots of fluoride
OH, this is no news! Look around. Everything is on a decline. We are doomed 😏
Photomath is the future 😂
Cause math is mid
We don’t need math! We have AI!!!
Wow dude
AI isn’t going to solve your multivariable calculus problems or write your proofs for you.
@@tomato-v8x Well actually...it can
@@aritano491 AI will make people dumber not smarter. Less thinking involved. Ever seen WALL-E or Idiocracy? 🤣
@@dfjdskf9234j4fisd ya I’m sure it will but that’s not what I was replying to
Math was easily my worst subject in high school. I was not often absent. Maybe if American schools taught math that's applicable to real life situations, scores would improve. The only math that I excelled at was financial literacy and you use that for your entire adult life. What the hell are we using algebra and geometry for in our lives? I was so traumatized by useless high school math that I ran away from it after I graduated in 2020. I'm trying right now to get a math tutor. I currently go to Nassau Community College and if I do choose to go to a four year college in the future, there is no doubt in my mind that I will have to take a remedial math course.
We like to point at math for being non-applicable but every other subject also is pointless in real life. We just have terrible attention spans and can't think abstractly. Case in point, in Asia, math is even more boring and less applicable. Of course there's major problems in East Asia when it comes to student stress. But they are succeeding in math scores.
Delete the federal Dept of Education.
we need too they hurt my feelings.
@ChosenOne6666
It has nothing to do with feelings and everything to do with indoctrination.
@@Victor-n3l7t People are LOW IQ
@@Victor-n3l7tEvidently someone deleted your brain because education is a state issue. The Dept of Education simply oversees and provides additional funding. Consider enrolling in a civics class.
@tomato-v8x
Thank you for that. You proved my point. The Department of Education, at the federal level, isn't needed and should be terminated.
Lol exclusively a public school issue.
It has nothing to do with public vs. private. If anything, it’s a private school issue because those institutions inflate the hell out of student grades.
@ that wasn’t an opinion lol the numbers we track clearly show private school kids scoring higher (consistently) and on an uptrend.
My opinion: think it’s due to better funding, lack of bureaucracy, and better decision making
You should probably fix the education system before blaming the students
Please ban phones from schools
It is not phones it is the states, districts and teachers not phones or anything like that well phones do have a factor in scores it is not a major factor like funding and teachers
Trump right again
The department of education provides additional funding, education is a state issue not a federal issue so Trump isn't as right as you think
😂😅😮🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
But, they doubled masked and stayed 6 feet apart, sitting in their rooms for nearly 2 years in blue states and cities, that’s all that’s important.
Mmm no I don’t think wearing a mask has anything to do with test scores
why are you still complaining about covid precautions in 2024
Wait a minute 17% abscent, isn’t that percent of black people in the us 🤣
13%
That is a little racially motivated but white people also skip class and any other race or gender
Yt people stay obsessed blaming Black folk even after 400 years
Math gap previously closed??? What... for 30 seconds? Nice try lady.
Mark my words, in the very near future the school system is going to completely collapse and everyone affected will pay for their complacency.
