As a subscriber to The Hill's newsletters, we'd like to invite you to an event on Sept. 26 exploring why math progress has stagnated for U.S. students.

Lawmakers, math advocates and educators will discuss the state of U.S. math education and why it's no longer acceptable to laugh off being "bad at math."
