Since the introduction of discovery-based math about a decade ago, Stokke says students are being overwhelmed with trying to figure out basic skills, like multiplication, which should simply be memorized.
And when they go on to more complex problem-solving, she says, they struggle, they feel defeated and then quickly give up.

I found this interesting that if they can't solve the problem multiplication, what would make someone think they have the ability to figure out a more complex problem?
I'm not saying it's not possible, but it seems like a bit of a disconnect for me.
