#American #Kids Can’t Do #Math Anymore
Five years ago, about 30 incoming freshmen at #UCSanDiego arrived with math skills below #highschool level. Now, according to a recent report from #UC San Diego faculty and administrators, that number is more than 900—and most of those students don’t fully meet #middleschool math standards.

7th graders were asked what 30-year-olds want for Christmas. The answers are harsh but true.

Today's middle school teacher dispatch:

The other teachers are almost all 24 and are literally bullying each other over who the kids like more. I am old and I am tired and you couldn't pay me to be 24 again.

And I am old and tired and, frankly, more popular (lol) because kids want structure and they know I'm fair.

And about her oldest sons, Mo'men and Abdul Rahman – they're teenagers so in high school and middle-school:

"Mo'men and Abdul Rahman have lost their future and aren't studying."

About schools in their camp:

"We don’t have schools here; it’s too far from us."

RE: https://mastodon.social/@naeemafamily/115468794193261909

Yesterday (01.11.25), I asked Haneen about school and if the twins Elias and Aylan are also studying. Because Saji is studying at home (all three are in elementary school stage)

What about them? Haneen answered:

"I am very sad for Aylan and Elias; they don't have a school, and it's difficult for them. They need a foundation now."
