Maybe this is what's wrong with math in schools?

The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education is releasing
the results Tuesday. They say that only 27 percent of the more than 600 candidates who took the test passed. The test was administered in March of this year.

The teacher’s licensing exam tested potential teachers on their knowledge of elementary school mathematics. This included geometry, statistics, and probability.

Further:

Education Commissioner Mitchell Chester was not surprised by the results. He told the Boston Globe that these results indicate that many students are not receiving an adequate math education.

Hmmmm..."these results indicate that many students are not receiving an adequate math education"

Spunky Homeschool has an interesting perspective on this story.
