Part of the problem is the idiot that insisted on changing something that worked.

 

Basic building blocks of arithmetic are addition, subtraction and times tables.

Without those, trying to teach anything else is a waste of time.

 

Children are leaving primary school without those basic skills.

 

 

 

The big problem comes when they get to be Chancellor of the Exchequer and then Prime Minister.

That sounds like the sort of question Street Farce management struggle with every day.

Half of the adult population cannot do maths of primary level.

 

Can you do this simple problem?

 

A person is now paying 5% interest which rises to 7.5%.Calculate the percentage change in interest to one decimal place.

 

 

 

Is there a percentage within the 50% of male to female failure?
