Cloward-Piven at work.
Can’t imagine what remedial differential equations would be like. Or remedial quantum mechanics.
This is just a small tidbit, but when I lived in Denver I taught at a community college. I really could not believe does the high schools have let those students graduate with the level of reading and writing skills they had. unbelievable.
“Soon there will be remedial classes at the Bronx High School of Science.”
No different than most colleges.

They are probably there now.
This bs is why, what used to be a 4 year degree in college is now a 5 to 7 year degree. They have to cover the basics that should have been taught in High School.
I went to the HS of Art and Design. Guess they will define tagging as true art if they haven’t already:-)
Schools to stay top-tier have to keep a critical mass of students who could move elsewhere or go to private schools. If those students or their parents feel marginalized by a broader spectrum of students, they'll leave in droves. I've seen it happen.
Also, keep in mind that the less qualified quota students are replacing student who are more qualified. That in itself lowers the standards.
