This was the case at my university too, college algebra was the most failed class.
Imo if you can't pass basic algebra you don't deserve a degree.

if I recall correctly trigonometry was a mandatory requirement in high school, if you can pass that you should be able to pass college algebra.

I don't know, but algebra isn't simply being able to solve "5 - X = 7, what is X."

It's essentially the capability to think abstractly about an imaginary thing that doesn't exist in front of your fucking eyes. If you can even do that, what kind of human being are you?

They can't take out algebra. College is chock full of ideological indoctrination and they want to take out the one thing that is (almost) impossible to turn into indoctrination.

Jesus fucking Christ, how is this a thing? Algebra is something you should have fucking learned before you got to high school and not only are people managing to fail it in college, we have people actually floating the idea of jettisoning it as a required component of education? Get the fuck out of here with that horseshit. If you're that much of a fucking failure at the most basic of mathematical concepts then just fucking drop out. School isn't going to do shit for you at that point because you are incapable of learning anything and are suited to little more than pushing a broom or moving large objects around a warehouse. Just get out of the classroom and let people who are capable of learning make use of the facility you pile of human garbage.

algebra isnt about numbers OP its about letters. x + y = i . so that means stuff and nobody knows what it means but its definitely stuff and at some point you find out 1 value maybe but you still dont know what any of it means without 2 values

Im not sure about that, as an EE, I have used lin alg a lot for circuit analysis but you need to know diff. eq. as well which relies heavily on calc concepts.

I know at my school, for EEs it goes calc1>calc2>Linalg/diffeq>calc3, but for everyone else it goes calc1>calc2>calc3>linalg/diffeq

If we're going to go that route, we should just throw the whole concept of a 'liberal arts education' out the window. If women's study majors don't need to know math, then why do STEM majors need to know women's studies? Or ANY of those bullshit liberal arts electives that BSc majors have to endure.

No, if we're continuing to believe that the purpose of college isn't strictly to prepare someone for a job but instead to give people a 'well rounded education', then you can't have that without math. And algebra is so incredibly basic a math that you can't set the bar back any further than that without it become comical. Students will get the check mark for knowing math that's taught in elementary school.

I was taking that shit way back in junior high.

The reason it's a class that has so many failures in it is because it's inherently flawed itself. When you teach algebra to pass a test you don't get any conceptual ideas of the numbers themselves. You're just learning through rote memory and sure if you can pass your class through that ability that's fine and dandy. But you are supposed to be taught to have a thorough understanding of the conceptual use of applied mathematics. That's why you are given written questions to practically apply it, but even then that's applying rote memory to a non-stress test. If you run into a situation in life where you actually have to apply mathematics in a real world scenario that requires it and all you rely on is rote memory from a math class in college then you're not going to succeed very well.

You might as well at the same time dispense with the concept of a 'degree'. Call everything 'certifications'. Level 1 for Bachelor's degree, Level 2 for Masters, etc. With the requirements all completely decoupled from one another, different career paths can have wildly different requirements so you can't even suggest that they are on the same level.

And why even have universities? All those different areas of study in the same place unnecessarily. There's no need for a universal place of learning as there's no such thing as a 'general education' anymore. You can have schools that just teach their subject matter and everything involved.

I do what I can. This sort of thing really gets to me because I went all in on math in high school, taking the absolute most advanced math courses available to me. Senior year I was effectively taking college level calculus and only passed by spending a ton of time after school getting additional instruction, but I put in the time and passed it. Managed to flunk Calculus 1 in college, but took it again, passed with a decent grade and cleared Calculus 2 as well. I used to think math was my thing when I was younger because I enjoyed the zen process of working through math equations. Got as far as I could but eventually hit my wall in college, but I put in the work to find that wall goddammit.

I'm gonna need some numbers if we're figuring out who's at fault for the high failure rate. Are students today smarter or dumber than their parents were at the same age? Has there been more material jampacked into a class today than in previous years/decades? How many teachers have complained about the material they teach their students being too overwhelming or difficult? Is that number higher or lower than in previous decades? Et cetera, et cetera.

Easy solution. Kill yourself you dumb cunt. If you think math which can be easily taught to a 13 year old requires too much self application, just keep smoking pot and playing video games until you eventually hang yourself like you should have years ago.

Can we just nix niggers instead? I'm tired of having to continually lower our standards across the board for niggers to even begin to have a chance at competing. I'm also starting to get the feeling that (((they're))) using niggers' stupidity as a vehicle to dumb us all down, using egalitarianism and lefties easily manipulated fee-fee-based logic as a mask and a catalyst, respectively.

Hey, I took trigonometry in high school, and would've taken calculus in senior year, but I dropped out. My teacher also didn't recommend it. According to him, the way our school scheduled courses made it difficult to teach math quickly. There were two algebra classes and they were considering adding a third and he recommended we all take it instead. Add geometry and trigonometry to that and there's no more room for calculus in high school, unless you somehow started algebra in 7th grade (I started in 8th).

I'm not advocating communism. I'm saying that basing everything on maximizing profit over the ethics of action is unfettered capitalistic thought.

Math major here. I worked in a university in Louisiana helping teach freshmen math at the lab. The kids coming out of high school are dumb as shit. They aren't bring taught mathematics in the right way. Many of them are lacking core concepts such as what a variable even is. Such a lack of understanding indicates a severely limited grasp of elementary grade math.
The education system is failing our children in a big way. This is why we need private education. At least then the children being educated would have a real, meaningful education rather than this filth shoved down their throats to maximize teacher salaries rather than install lasting knowledge.

True. And things are changing rapidly; specifically technology(ies). There are some very basic elements that one can master that keeps them perpetually employed. If they're jew wise, they will never allow their eyes be too big for their stomachs. They will always be on guard about finances, and never over-extending themselves.

Because today, it isn't just about mastering skills, or paying off mortgages, or raising children and funding 'their' education, or inheritances...it's about competing with global talent + paying for crack babies + crack whores + little Juan and Juanita who want 20-30 little Juan's and Juanita's + Tyrone's legal fees and prison costs + properties destroyed because an innocent Harvard bound unarmed cherub taking hand-written letters to grandma on his way home from volunteering at the soup kitchen was gunned down by a Aryan Neo-Nazi climate denier playing AC/DC on full blast + the cost of financing, fighting and dying in wars for all but your own nation while calling it "patriotism" + a new computer that meets the requirements of new software...but other than that it's a piece of cake

My wife said math was hard for her, so I put it to the test.
She was slow in the beginning because she hated Algebra with a passion and slacked off in class, but she was able to finish my makeshift test (I'm an algebra teacher) 45 minutes before time would've been up. She had an hour to answer 30 algebra questions and managed to do it in 15 minutes. My nigger students-even the ones that apply themselves- finish it within the last 5 minutes of time. It might be a combination of her being lazy and not applying herself- but she certainly was good at algebra. Calculus she has no idea about because she was never taught calculus. So I've been teaching her about it since it's summer vacation.

Free markets in education work: look at Korean hagwon, Japanes juku, Chinese buxiban. Lots of choices and almost everyone can afford it because of competition.

One, multiple intelligence theory is bullshit. Once you control for the big 5 personality traits and IQ there is absolutely nothing left of multiple intelligence theory. If you a person capable of higher order thinking, it should be applicable to differing degrees across the board. I do not buy the premise that anyone who can contribute anything worhwhile to a professional field requiring a degree is not capable of learning math easily teachable to 13 year olds.

Secondly, the private market is more or less already in charge of training people even with degrees (especially with non-stem degrees). This is mostly because liberal arts as a school of thought has been so busy trying to be inclusive to people who are not, and will not ever be smart enough to be worth spending the resources on, that we have lowered out academic standards to being basically nothing.

There is two sides to the coin of having your academic base so widely expanded. When you require a bachelors degree to be a manager at a McDonalds, you haven't just placed an unnecessary hinderence to employment, but you have seeded the ground that it is acceptible for your base standard of a bachelor's degree to be no more rigorous than what is required to manage a fucking McDonalds.

Widening the academic base is bad all around. It makes Academia less worthwhile, makes job entry unnecessarily more cumbersome, and makes the standards by necessity be lower because you have now hitched entry level job viability to what used to be the gateway to the pinnacle of knowledge and discovery.
