#3 re: #1 Sorry Skid but you can't blame everything on the parents.

If they need algebra to get into Hahvahd then high school is where they should have learned it (should have started in middle school)

re: #2 Did I miss something isn't 800 a perfect score? Or are you adding the Language & Math together, in which case 800 should barely qualify for crossing the street on your own.

#7 In Germany maths education has been deteriorating for decades.

The problem isn't only that the non-qualified get de facto fraudulent credentials but also that those who could qualify aren't taught the necessary foundations of mathematics that would qualify them to study a maths-affine subject at university level.

This might be a problem in the US too.

#8 A diminished capacity for abstraction.
"If you have three friends and one apple, and you cut the apple into three parts, how much of the apple does each friend get?"
"I don't have any friends."
