[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]
[b]Almost all grads need help[/b] after graduation…? You never got any training for your first job? If your entire existence has been sink or swim, you’re worked some shit jobs.[/quote]

Similar to our economy. The intelligence is going K shape as well.

Yes and you’re delusional if you believe intelligent people never need help. Unlike you, who lacks empathy, I can easily see someone being a fairly intelligent person but not being privileged, so they may need a little extra remediation before going into their field of choice or finishing their degree. Not everyone was raised upper middle class.[/quote]

As long as it is not waste of tax payers dollars[/quote]
Stop funding wars then we’ll start talking about what is a waste of tax payers money. 
We have terrible healthcare system and chose to keep a bad one cause we aren’t “socialist,” while paying more for less.
An education system with a school to prison pipeline is incredibly costly for society, yet we maintain that.
Funding a remedial course so a student can get a degree and contribute back to their community? Least of my concerns and should be yours too if wasteful spending is the issue.[/quote]
Remedial courses are great and important, but the flagship is not the place for them - CSUs and CCs are.

Similarly, basic physical education for adults is also important, but you probably wouldn't be too happy if half your favourite college football team had a substantial portion of recruits who could barely throw a football.[/quote]
