The confluence of societal and governmental factors leading to these outcomes is an irredeemable tragedy. Nobody gives a fuck about education and the consequences are accelerating

    I thought about applying for an engineering program a while ago and went back through high school math using OpenSTAX to reacquaint myself with it again and I'm so fucking thankful I was highly engaged when I was in k-12 education. Even things I hadn't done in a decade came back to me relatively easily because the base is very strong.

    it's really, really bad outside of the small cadre of relatively affluent students that still envision economic prosperity that is a result of grinding through the u.s. education system. even kids that are getting relatively good grades in their math classes struggle to bother trying.
