To put it another way, this "explosion" shines a revealing light on the dishonesty of The Education Mafia. That they are playing at something is perfectly clear. Just exactly what they are playing at can be debated.

This is false since not only does this "mafia" not exist, but, as
evidenced by what the cited article itself says, it is parental
pressure that has and still is dictating things here.

As soon as you move to Mississippi?
Thanks for the opening, though:
In reply to my message in this thread
"Re: A Coordinator, A Facilitator, And An Educator Walk Into A Bar"
http://mathforum.org/kb/message.jspa?messageID=7942438
in which I show, among other things, that via a link containing vast
amounts of documentation that Haim's prior claims are wrong when he
claims that US public school math education has collapse is utterly
false, that the opposite is the case, Haim is above talking about my
references to the Scandinavian countries, especially Norway, how each
one of their per-capita nominal GDPs have for every one one of or
almost every one one of (depending on the country) the past few
decades been larger than and growing faster than that of the US, and
how, according to the ongoing studies of which countries are best to
live in terms of which ones have the highest levels of happiness
according to the measurements of the studies, these Scandinavian
countries, especially Norway, top the entire world. (Norway's
per-capita nominal GDP is now around around $100,000 while that of the
US is only a little under $50,000. The Norwegian economy is now
roughly twice as large as the US economy, adjusted for population.)

for lots of details, complete with large amounts of documentation.
