It's actually not American can't do Math, it's just that they are SLOW and NOT EFFICIENT! Something that can be done within seconds, may take them up to few minutes. Just imagine something that may take less than an hour, that may take them few hours to solve. This doesn't occur only in Math, but also in any situation.
Of course, there are those who can do thing and think fast, but the proportion is comparable low 90/10; where 90% of the American are below average compared to other countries. Now, is this the fault of American? Yes and No!
Yes! Because a lot of American want to have short cut, without building strong foundation. Most of them don't like to think, want to enjoy, high self-esteem, low self-discipline, and lazy! Hmm... sounds like American are worthless. Well, of course not, most of these may not what the American want at first. It's just what had been done past 30 years in their Education systems. The so-called educators had "destroyed" the generations. Is that bad? Yes and No again! They did nurture great scholar and successful people, but very handful of them, compared to the general success like China, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong etc. The average and below average students from those countries are considered the top 5%-10% of U.S. It's very sad to know that and to admit that American are actually way behind of the Global Standard!
What should we do? Build the teachers first, and have the right person, with REAL Experience, to do the job!
