Honestly folks, if you can’t pass this watered-down version of Intermediate Algebra, you are too dumb to get a degree in anything.

And no student loan should fund you.

My university used to have "developmental studies" (remedial) courses in math--one course was grade-school level math and one was high-school level math. Some students had to pass those before they could take college math.

Once I was on an appeals committee and remember a student who was appealing her suspension. She had failed the grade school level math course six times. But her intended major was social work...maybe she didn't really need to know basic arithmetic.
