Math problems
It has been discovered in Seattle that problems in mathematics had started even before kindergarten! They had learned that students who are entering kindergarten lacked the necessary skills for success in mathematics in the school. It was done by an assessment of their abilities in the many parts of their academics, including math. This means that kids did not receive enough exposure to math before school starts. This probably explains why students in Seattle and other states may lack math skills later on in higher levels of education including middle school and high school. With further studies, we may learn why math maybe lacking the states compared to other nations and a solution can be provided.

That just may be the problem when it comes to kids and math. When kids are around math more then they can absorb more information before even school starts. The more math you know the better it is for you in the long run so I suggest that kids learn more skills before they enter kindergarten. We need to find a solution to get kids more knowledgeable of math and all of there studies. We need to fix this problem before it gets out of hand.
