In the US: I highly doubt it

The issue in the U.S. isn’t Maths textbooks (same rules as everywhere else), it’s poor teaching. U.S. Maths teachers aren’t required to have any Maths qualifications, and they’ve been sliding in world rankings for more than a decade now.

Yeah, but even worse, you’re just talking about schools. You forgot about all the kids being home schooled, taught the earth is flat and an imaginary friend created everything in 7 days. Taught by parents who lack proper education themselves.

  I’m talking about anyone at all in the U.S. is allowed to teach Maths without any Maths qualifications

  That happens in other countries too, and yet it’s the U.S. which has been sliding down the world rankings for more than a decade, the country that doesn’t require Maths teachers to have Maths qualifications.
  
  Also, it’s kinda obvious the rules of math aren’t different in the US
  
  That’s right, as proven by U.S. Maths textbooks
  
  If people don’t know how to use math properly, the issue clearly is the education and not math itself
  
  Partly right. there’s also people who just outright forgot the rules.

    It doesn’t really matter, who needs math anyway? If the president can claim medicine prices will go down 1200%…
