If you can't pass a math/science class, stay out of college.
You'll make more in the trades than in any degree program that doesn't require multiple math and science courses.
drop algebra anyway as it is a waste of time ,and I have never used it since leaving school.
It should stay for applicable programs but I sure didn’t need it for my major or my job.
I hate it and I suck at it too.
Just saying lol
7x = 56
THAT is hard...?!?!?
Good God, what would they think of Calculus..?
How about the SEALS drop the SWIM requirement, huh...?
THEN we could have SUPER MoTown SEALS, sure.
Maybe they can replace it with something like African studies, women’s studies, more bs, more bs, more bs, ..........
It seems like it would be simpler just to award them all a PHD.
I am of the opinion that it is MORE racist to think that minorities cant perform in math.
Allegra got this white boy a couple of times.
A certain level of intelligence is needed to understand the concepts. Those who can’t get it can get jobs that don’t require it. But teach it to those who can get it.
The left is insane.
There is more to algebra and what most people realize. It is not only the entry level into advanced mathematics but ALSO the entry level to rational thinking.
It is not a nice touchy feely subject. To come out at the far end with the answer you have to follow rules and procedures. You also have to apply the rules and procedures when you have no idea as to what you are looking for.
As for getting rid of because the pass/fail rate is so high - that’s the fault of previous courses.
But, don’t tell anyone that because you might hurt their feelings and force them into their safe space.
Sorry (not really) but the world ain’t a safe space and in all too many cases non-rational thinking can be fatal.
Climate Scientists don’t use math and they’ve solved the Global Warming problem .... it’s settled science. /s/

Algebra raciss! X=infinity...
Algebra is not racist, don’t get rid of it

Why don’t they just go ahead and drop ALL requirements and issue minorities a PHD at birth? Save everyone time, frustration and money.
Just consider it reparations.
Hell, let’s just drop ALL requirements for graduation. If you can sit in the student union every day and converse with other people that should be enough. And please note this would not lower the intelligence or the knowledge of most of the population. If a student wants to take a class that should be their choice but no required classes, no minimum number of credits, no attendance records, nothing to graducate. Just pay the fees and you get the diploma in 2 or 4 years. Simple. Incidentally my undergraduate degree is Mathematics.
No matter how hard they try, this circle cannot be squared.
“When I was in high school”...
Seriously. Everyone made it through algebra II. EVERYONE.
There is one purpose behind education, and that is to develop a good BS Detector.
Without a solid foundation in mathematics it will be easy to get suckered into making bad decisions because you won’t be able to filter out the BS that salespeople throw out at you.
