[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't this post just a whole lot of Fox News nothing? Colleges have always had lower tier math classes as options for non-math types. This is nothing new and is not a signal of decline. So sick of political repackaging to whip up fear and outrage.[/quote] IKR? First everybody screams about grade inflation in the high schools; then when a kid earns a 5 on AP Calc, the peanut gallery says, well the APs have grade inflation; then then the student earns an A in multivariate calculus in college, the gallery says, well it's college grade inflation... until it's not, like when Fox claims kids are failing left and right. No one can decide! Kids have been failing math for decades. Math is hard -- it's always been hard, for a lot of kids. Take a poll among your colleagues and you will see that many/most did not do well in math (unless, of course, you are en engineer).[/quote]
