College today is less difficult than grade school 50 years ago
I remember cursive algebra.....
My son is 12 years of age. Attends a homeschool/hybrid Classical school with two campus days. Their math book this year is a free download from College of the Redwoods in CA. Pre-Algebra.
He is in Second Form Latin, will be reading devotional classics, Thomas Paine’s Common Sense, a bio on Frederick Douglas, Logic I, Pilgrim’s Progress, Frankenstein, A Patriot’s Handbook with speeches, important historical documents, etc, a book on the French Revolution,Physical Science, Composition, Poetry...on and on...
The community colleges of today are a cesspool. Better to convert them into full blown no nonsense Apprentice/Technical Training Institutes.
