They can't retain £3.70 in their head from one day to the next and can't multiply 3.7x2 in their head.
This is our future.....?
We're stuffed.

what do you expect when the lecturers can even get it right.
one of the lecturers that my son has, published a book and let his class read it. my son immediately told his lecturer that one of the equations was wrong. the lecturer looked and said tell me why you think its wrong so my son broke it down for him. the lecturer then had it checked later that day to discover that yes it was wrong...... ooopppsss
my son also ended up teaching his comms class as the lecturer would not turn up and was bad at her job. everyone in that class passed a recent test or what ever they are these days.
i will defend some out there in that not everybody can grasp maths as their brains dont work that way, this is not to say they are stupid though.
