American high school students trail teenagers from 14 European and Asian countries in reading, math and science. We're even trailing France.
Suzanne Fields

And by the same token, I appreciate math, because I can't do math. If I have to read a map or figure out the tip on a restaurant bill, I might start to tear up a little bit.

And they're also very good at math, these super boogers, and so they teach Billy the ways of mathematics.
William Joyce

I do not think we are ever going to be able to, for a long time, get the kind of quality of school personnel that we need in our schools, especially in the areas of science and math. One of the answers to that problem is to use more educational technology.
