Math education is good, but has a lot of room for improvement. Better teachers would be a wonderful place to start. Teachers at Booker T are all great, but at many high schools the math teachers have developed a reputation for being the old, boring and strict ones. Another way to improve would be in the method of teaching. In Japan, students are not told they are wrong, but they are forced to prove all their answers. Proving answers makes sure that students understand the material and can show how they got thier answers. Only when these issues are addressed can America compete with the rest of the world in the math department again.
