Unfortunately the UC’s take rejects who can’t even do basic arithmetic(uh, calculators, duh?) >



you know i’m really sick of these kinds of statements. for many people it can take twice or ten times as long as to master a subject.

failure is often not a result of a lack of trying. some people truly have a chemical imbalance. i know for a fact numerous students at CC who ACE everything except math. i know students who perform well in math/science exclusively yet can’t write a proper five paragraph essay.]

it’s too bad schools are forced to look to GPA/SAT/enumerated stats to evaluate candidates. do you think you’re a better person because you are better at math?

do you know what it’s like to spend 20 hours to master a single concept? 20 years from now half of you will forget college math, probably algebra too.
