Re: Maths
"Education" has been very dumbed down for quite some years now. Many older people are totally unaware. Those with kids will probably have seen the kids school books, syllabus and homework and some that have will have been quite concerned.
Many parents, those that are awake to this purposeful dumbing of a generation, will have taken the time to teach their kids properly or paid for additional private tuition.
Not all can afford that of course.
Dumb people are very easy to control and kids today are totally being controlled. They are heading for Orwell's 1984.
Giving them huge debts right from the off is a part of that. It ensures they "belong" to the state and will have to work all hours to pay the debts down.
Making house ownership well beyond most kids equally means they will rent which in turn means their money is going nowhere, down a black hole so they will never get ahead in the game.
As a society we should be furious about what successive governments have done to our education system (Tory and Labour alike - they all work for the unseen rulers don't forget)
Britain is being destroyed by stealth, from within, systematically.
