wbakerphd.bsky.social @wbakerphd.bsky.social · 10/09/2025In the *college level* chemistry class I teach, students needed to find 5% of 400 mL. "It's 5, because 5% of anything is 5, because, you know, 5." Others whipped out their calculators and said it was 2000 mL, because 5 x 400 = 2000. This really explains a lot about where we are as a society. :-(npr.orgA new Nation's Report Card shows drops in science, math and reading scoresIt's the first Nation's Report Card since the Trump administration began making cuts to the U.S. Education Department.
