I do think a large part of the problem is that not only did the younger teachers not get taught maths properly themselves but they were only taught to teach according to the script (that seems to be a US thing). The older teachers who may have been able to do maths and teach are worn out by being presented with one crazy fad after another. The only ones left are those who have learnt to play the game. I can see no other way otherwise reasonable people can can espouse one thing this year and the complete opposite the next.
