Murv Seymour

4
00:00:03,370 --> 00:00:04,371
You've probably
never

5
00:00:04,438 --> 00:00:04,905
thought about it

6
00:00:04,972 --> 00:00:05,906
but we all use

7
00:00:05,973 --> 00:00:06,807
mathematics

8
00:00:06,874 --> 00:00:07,741
as we navigate
through

9
00:00:07,808 --> 00:00:08,842
our day to day lives.

10
00:00:08,909 --> 00:00:09,977
Knowing basic math

11
00:00:10,043 --> 00:00:10,878
is a critical skill

12
00:00:10,944 --> 00:00:12,312
that impacts
every career

13
00:00:12,379 --> 00:00:13,747
no matter what it is.

14
00:00:13,814 --> 00:00:14,615
In my next report

15
00:00:14,681 --> 00:00:15,282
I'll give you the

16
00:00:15,349 --> 00:00:15,949
good and bad news

17
00:00:16,016 --> 00:00:16,550
about how some

18
00:00:16,617 --> 00:00:17,284
young students are

19
00:00:17,351 --> 00:00:18,318
are doing in the classroom.

20
00:00:18,385 --> 00:00:19,052
I'll give you the

21
00:00:19,119 --> 00:00:20,654
pluses and the negatives.

22
00:00:20,721 --> 00:00:21,688
I'll also take
you to

23
00:00:21,755 --> 00:00:22,556
one Milwaukee classroom

24
00:00:22,623 --> 00:00:23,290
where entire

25
00:00:23,357 --> 00:00:24,491
classrooms of students

26
00:00:24,558 --> 00:00:26,260
are excelling in math.

27
00:00:26,326 --> 00:00:26,793
You're going to

28
00:00:26,860 --> 00:00:27,361
