Bill Bennett reacts to new data showing the US is behind in math: 'Consensus has broken down'
Fox News
Former Education Secretary Bill Bennett reacted to new data showing U.S. students' math scores falling to a new low in an international assessment.
The former education secretary explained that the main problem was a "collapse" of what used to be a consensus on math, English, history, arts, music, and science. Joshua Q. Nelson is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
Joshua focuses on politics, education policy ranging from the local to the federal level, and the parental uprising in education.
"That consensus on math, English, history, and science has broken down, and we now do not know what's going on in our schools. It's a catch-all, anything might be taught. We need to focus on those basics, or we're going to fall further behind," Bennett said. Joining Fox News Digital in 2019, he previously graduated from Syracuse University with a degree in Political Science and is an alum of the National Journalism Center and the Heritage Foundation's Young Leaders Program.
