Or maybe college students are dumbing down. There was a guy in my dorm who couldn’t figure out the value of ‘x’ given the equation 2x=6, and he was still attempting to take some sort of calculus course. It blows my mind how some of these students could pass 9th grade math, much less get accepted to college.
