[quote=Anonymous]College prof here. This thread seems to think there is something wrong in the HS math system broadly defined. Maybe there is: it's not my area, so I won't critique that. But no one here has mentioned that many college students with math requirements can actually choose which course(s) they take. At my college, it doesn't matter what they took in HS: if they are not in a STEM-ish program, they often have only one required math course, and they are going to choose the lowest one they possibly can so they can earn a good grade with the least amount of work possible. TBH I don't blame them if they're not going to need calc or the like later on in their anticipated career.[/quote]
