Both the leftists that actually entered the thread insulted who they deemed to be their political enemies and never once addressed why this is needed.

Again, they vote for a party that purposely creates this issue, then they insult those that point out the failures, thus continuing the cycle.

Anyone who thinks Ivy League schools are some super elite level of education are kidding themselves.

Having remedial classes now probably has something to do with this:

Well, I'm just glad that they're giving women access to education



Women on average are better at math but good try

I was a liberal farts major and did not take any math in college because of my ACT/SAT scores in Math

Now I wish I would’ve done something better with my math skills.

How long is Covid going to be the excuse?

When I found I needed a C average to graduate I realized any grade higher would be wasted effort.

As a high school math teacher the gaps in math ability are a huge problem rn. The problem is kids get pushed along regardless of passing or failing a math course. So if they fail 8th grade math for example they still get pushed to algebra 1 where they obviously struggle because they’re missing the skills to be successful there. Then they get pushed to geometry where they’re missing the algebra and basic math skills learned in 8th grade to be successful and so on.

Some districts do a better job of attempting to rectify it than others but it’s a massive problem almost everywhere.

Covid exacerbated the problem but it was an issue before then as well.
