Michael Belinsky, a math tutor at Georgia State University, says most of his students, no matter their age or status, are plagued by a lack of basic math skills. “The source of our state’s math woes lies somewhere between second and fifth grades,” he writes. He advocates the kind of mathematical drilling he had in his native Russia, and more pressure to excel from parents.
