Hmmm, my daughter started college at 13 and got an A in the only math class for her English major requirement. High school has turned into all day baby sitting and pc/ sex/ don’t do drugs propaganda. When my oldest daughter was attending community college, her courses were a joke. My middle schooler could have gotten As in them. Basic common sense- the cream floats to the top. College has turned into high school in a wealthy neighborhood. If the students can’t do the work, they shouldn’t be there...oh wait, then there wouldn’t be student loans. Follow the money....
You’re correct. I attended college in the late ‘90s, and it was going that way even then. I tested out of the basic required math classes, but even starting a few tiers up, we were just reviewing stuff that had been covered sophomore/junior year in high school.
I ended up taking the advanced Physics and Calculus classes that were tailored for Engineering students, just out of boredom.
