I’m all for cancelling it in college. It is supposed to be taught in high school!!!

LOL correct!

I am appalled how many classes in “Int. algebra” there are in the CC I tutor for. The bulk of our math tutees are algebra.

Indeed, algebra is remedial in college. They should be beyond that.

I could see not requiring calculus, but I algebra is so useful, I can’t see giving anyone a college diploma if they can’ pass algebra.

Yup!

Unfortunately..., that was back in the "Old Days" when High School was not a ZOO where the majority of students merely sought guidance on "self-esteem" and were accommodated by the "Education Establishment"!

My son’s pre-Algebra textbook for 7th grade is coming out of College of the Redwoods math dept. He is 12 years old. I taught him Pre-Algebra for 5th grade already so he will easily get through his math this year. Hard to believe that a bunch of DREAMERS at community college level can’t pull off Algebra. Guess they need a pure civil rights program and nothing else.

you must be young, we had it in 6th grade
