In my day, math after Algebra 2 was not 'pay to play', it was part of the regular course offerings. Here we are seeing nonurm middle class and poverty students take no math after 10th grade Alg 2, instead waiting for the financial aid that comes with college admission.(there is private funding for urm students). And of course, without the college prep offerings in high school, the Associate's Degree is necessary just to get the students communicating at the adult level for their career demands. The dumb down has major consequences, as middle class people now have to pay out of pocket for what used to be 11th and 12th grade college prep.lgmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-50177140383306796362019-05-02T14:56:12.325-07:002019-05-02T14:56:12.325-07:00Get the government out of the money-lending busine...Get the government out of the money-lending business.

For example: there are 23 Cal State schools with some schools as high as 39000 students. If let's just say the university didn't accept all 39,000 students but only 20,000 students, that would be more state grants and other state money to each of those other students.<br />If you have fewer students, that means fewer teachers, administrators, janitors, police, etc needed for that school. It would also mean fewer classroom buildings and dorms needed for that school.Davidnoreply@blogger.com
