If a person can’t do third grade math, they shouldn’t be admitted to college. Or high school, for that matter.

Duh.
Liberals turn everything into shiat, with their idea that everybody should have the same opportunity in all areas instead of where their talents are.

Correct - they should be teaching.

That's how Democrat institutions work.

"The most fundamental fact about the ideas of the political left is that they do not work. Therefore we should not be surprised to find the left concentrated in institutions where ideas do not have to work in order to survive." - Thomas Sowell

There is nobody more to blame than the parents. Child neglect is a child raising method for many.

Third Grade Math as I remember it was the times tables. If you don’t know how to do multiplication by the time it’s time to graduate, you shouldn’t graduate.

It’s more common core than the pandemic.

They don’t want the same opportunity, for everyone.
That’s equality.
They want equity, which is the same outcome, regardless of intelligence, ability and merit.

“There is nobody more to blame than the parents.”

Spot on.

Homeschooled my kids after school. They had Algebra down by the end on their 3rd grade. (Hands on Algebra. Great product!)

I guess today’s parents have their faces planted on social media and letting SM raise their kids.

We’ll have arrived when the chair of the Math Department can’t do third grade math, either. We do still have a way to go.

There should be standardized entrance tests College / University if you are going to receive Pell Grants -or- student loans. Basic Algebra, Reading, English and General science should be at least the 10th grade level to get in.

Just get Asians in math classes. And fail anybody who’s not an Asian.

Seniors in college can’t do 3rd grade math from 100 years ago.

It was hard.

At least no more than twice as many as whole numbers. (That sentence was in one of my college textbooks).
