[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get the issue. There are kids at all colleges who need remedial help - even the elite ones. If they're getting the help they need, then what is the problem? Oh, that they took spots from kids who had good math instruction in high school? [/quote] Who would help them after graduation? Governments? Tax Payers? AI? Why would employers hire them?[/quote] Typically they get hired in fields that don’t need the remedial skills. Eg, Supreme Court litigator who doesn’t need calculus. Surgeon who doesn’t need to be able to write literary analysis. Investment banker who only speaks English. Elite schools want to produce students who reach a minimum threshold in all areas while also enrolling “spiky” students who are superstars in one area. So, they need to provide remediation in the weaker areas. [/quote] Supreme court litigators did well in calculus. Surgeons did well in English. Grad school is competitive. [/quote]
