Right about now it looks like America has hit rock bottom.
Spokeshave who tought advanced placement pure and applied mathematics.
however, many colleges are unable to give students needing remedial math those classes
due to DEI regulations, the unprepared students have to be “mainstreamed” into regular college-level math classes
this results in...
DEI students being unable to close the gap and catch up with the class, so they do not learn but still get passed because progessors are graded on whether their student success statistics include full representation from DEI type students, if a professor’s statistics show that a “disproportionate” number of DEI students are failing or getting low grades, the profess is rating down down down on his/her job performance evaulation. The only way out for the professors is to simply award high marks to everyone and be done with it. Thus, the grading system is corrupted beyond any real utility and transcript GPA’s are garbage
other students getting less learning than they paid for...or maybe need... because the professors have to keep going backwards trying to provide the DEI students as much remedial help as possible during the class time (and outside of class too)
SNAFU
Harvard had a hand in that coming about.
Circa 1966 I went to college and did not take remedial math. My high school was in South Louisiana Lockport. It was a very poor district. It graduated kids ready for college. Out of my class of 83 students were two pharmacists, 1 medical doctor, a PHD biologist, a research chemist at Exxon, and oddly the richest man in town was at the bottom of the class but understood business well. Rodney did good! Also a whole slew of other graduates in education and other courses. About half our class obtained college degrees. Not bad for a poor rural district in South Louisiana.
How in the hell can one be admitted to Harvard and need remedial math?
And it was predictable.
Any honest person of average intelligence or above knew what was going to happen.
Remove the tax exemptions. F**K harvard and all the other liberal elite universities.
No federal tax payer funds should go to any educational institution ever for any reason.
All welfare systems should be eliminated, SNAP, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security etc. they all need to be phased out and eliminated.
You either make it on your own or you don’t. You’re not my problem or the governments problem, you’re your own problem.
The students taking these classes are A. DEI/affirmative action "minorities" who are there to fill race quotas, B. members of the football and basketball teams, who are there for brawn, not brains, C. legacy students, who are there because their parents and/or grandparents attended and gave the university a lot of money.
I once looked up the definition of “remedial”.
It’s Bad. It means something is broken.
Remedial Math is important to these Harvard students because they don’t only understand the word remedial; but also math. You got to talk to them like this: “Bill wants to buy 6 bullets to shoot an ICE officer. He has 3 left over from shooting two of his neighbours. Bullets cost money, how is going to get the money?” Bill say: “Yo, I blingety dingity and shot them all in their homes, where they sleep. That is how.”
So, Harvard’s like community college now?
I pity those families who actually paid for a Harvard diploma back in the day, or who donated to what has become a limbo contest—how low can you go?
