I'm sure in every educational system you can use some form of metric to exclude low SES students and conclude that the system isn't behind or failing.

- slackerchews 3y agototally agree with you. was just pointing out a statistical quirk I thought added value to the discussion. I'll even retract my point that the US maths education system isn't failing as a whole. When two demographics (30% of the country and growing) are being left behind by the system, then the system is failing as a whole. I really hope to see this change in the future.
- dmix 3y ago…or maybe always attempting to look at systems as a whole and fix it as a homogenous unit might be exactly why it’s failing in the first place.
