The racist Tboy immediately projecting his inner thoughts on others.

Take those opinions to your late night crossburning, Eva.

The fact that Harvard, one the most prestigious universities in the world, offers a remedial math class is an indictment of the US education system, you racist POS.

bet you could find plenty of Asian students who are competent, but then you wouldn't fill your woke agenda of putting students of color in your ranks. Besides, their holistic education isn't sufficing for actual ability? Shocking.

Let me guess. You read that Harvard has a “remedial” math class, and so you assume that it is for black students studying in the engineering department.

Bruh…what?

This is very simple. Harvard used to have standards that would have made it impossible for a kid who needs remedial anything to get.

How the hell is this even a thing and what the hell does it have to do with race?

They should go a step further and require all these genius Ivy League school graduates to live in the inner city ghettos for five years to help lift those poor folks out of their strife.

And reading as well. Google the story of the Hartford, CT student who is suing the school district for graduating her with honors, even though she literally can't read. I think she is at UConn now.

I wonder what the administrators of the school make in salaries at her old high school.

I was STEM.
I still had to be able to write basic essays etc.
shite, UNO had an English proficiency for all students.
I have no issue with that, but should be a math proficiency too.

How are they scoring 34-36 on the ACT if that's the case?


They're not. Great grades and test scores aren't the only way to get into Harvard.

Society needs to accept the fact that mental ability, like physical ability, runs the spectrum. Not everyone can achieve the same no matter how hard they try.

No. You assume that is what we assume.

But what we don’t have to assume is that you believe we are racist.

You do realize the race card is ordinarily played by a racist.

I was taught advanced Calculus by an awesome teacher in my senior year at Woodlawn High School in 1970. I was well equipped for college math courses.

If you mean Calculus and beyond, cool; if you mean basic math, and that includes Algebra I, then they don't belong at Harvard.
