    it has been for like 20+years, thats around the time they were giving participation grades for people to pass HS. with AI/ absent parenting it has only gotten worst. likewise with mathematics too. and people doing arithmetic courses in cc is a sign, eventhough its not as useful as algebra anyways.

      Yes I’m sure it’s those and unrelated to chronic under funding, under staffing, and socioeconomic decline.

      The horror stories about common core are evangelical right wing propaganda in their war on pubic education. They still teach algebra in K-12.

      people doing arithmetic courses in cc

      What schools do this? I’m in community college right now and the only arithmetic based math courses offered are non-credit and for basic adult education classes for community members who want to get their high school diploma, not college students.
