He begins with a sad story about a high-school student in L.A. who dropped out "after failing algebra six times in six semesters, trying it a seventh time and finally just despairing over ever getting it."


I was looking for citations on the California school system requiring Calculus to pass high school in the 50s and i found the above.
That must have been one dip kid not to understand algebra. I bet the parents didn't even bother to develop that kid's brain with half a coloring book. holy .
An even bigger :wtf: at the author for calling it a "sad story."

Unless the kid is hybrid between a retard and a hot dog, THAT would be a complete fallacy of the American education system and the hope to reform it for the better.

I'm not good with numbers. I have to study everyday throughout the semester to remember the formulas. If I don't, I fall behind. I have discipline to study so I don't fail. Others don't have discipline, but that's no reason to make fun of the person for failing.

I have a friend who is absolutely terrible at math. Especially Algebra. When she finished college I think Algebra was her last math class :wtf:

it was a bad joke. instead of, "like you for one" i said, like your two". implying i am bad at math which makes me a hypocrite which makes the joke not very funny at all.
