[2006alum]

Sorry, I just can't attach much validity to a "study" based on 56 interviews.

 

This. Average of 26 students per school.

 

… and I fear 2006 took math lessons from my 10 year old.

Pardon me, 28 - I was typing on the fly while commuting on the subway. But really, your ten year old is still struggling with the concept of dividing by 2?

not the concept, but often the carefulness to note the numbers correctly.

I'd say a better lesson for a ten-year-old is that sarcastically calling out obvious (and trivial) typos is a petty kind of point-scoring that fosters neither good will nor stronger community.
