A lot of unqualified people are going to college. Look at how many have to take remedial classes. Why are these students allowed into college if they aren’t really for college-level courses?
I visited the University of Maryland bookstore this weekend.
They actually offer Precalculus, a course I took in high school as a junior.
The book had graphs of functions, logarithms,etc.
You actually get college level credit for high school level math?
And the kicker is that “Precalculus” counts for a General Education credit
in mathematics
alongside “Linear Algebra”, “Statistics” and “Calculus I”
This nation is doomed.
ps. I’m sure Barry O never took calculus at Occidental or Columbia.
can you see barry understanding what a derivative is????!!!

That’s easy - colleges now are being used to actually EDUCATE kids, since the NEA, the feds, and the rest of the left own the public schools, but have, more or less, left junior colleges alone (at least so for).
People still need to be educated, and we don’t seem to have the political will to do that until they’re adults.
The problem is that nearly every damn job requires a college degree and if you want to advance to a higher paying position, you need another degree. Years ago it used to be about what experience you had but not so much now a days.
That’s the problem. Too many people are being allowed in college without the basics in math, science and English. I spoke with a recent sociology graduate, and she couldn’t make a logical conclusion out of two sentences.
