The failure is with story problems.
Story problems are perhaps the most important part of math education. A story problem requires using math to actually problem-solve. But they are often terribly written and introduced too little too late.
In some of my classes, they were nearly ripped out of the curriculum entirely because students struggled so hard with them.
