<p>Math is a language that needs at least the same time in K-12 as English, and in many other countries it is given more time, since they have several math subjects, sometime taught at the same time in different classes (geometry, algebra, trig…). Until math is taken seriously in k-12, all college profs will experience the same problem at all levels, except if they deal with foreign students. There is no kids out there who are not capable, there is defficient k-12 program that deprives them.</p>
