I would assume those remedial classes are taught by grad students, though it’s still hard for aspiring mathematicians to teach elementary/middle school math!

I don't know if my college has any remedial classes. I feel like doing remedial classes even for senior-level courses. College students seem to be getting worse and worse and having more and more health issues. But they are getting so good at complaining about their grades.
