Florida Governor orders schools to drop standards for academic performance

[Walt]

This is not about politics, dude. Why are you trying to make it about politics?

Why do I have to make political threads about politics on a political forum about politics? Maybe you need to go to a website "justplainNOTpolitics.com", or something.

I notice that when Republicans realize they can no longer defend their politicians, it suddenly is no longer about politics.

[Walt]

Then why are students showing up in college that don't understand algebra????

I doubt many do. Maybe community college, but community college is willing to educate you up to a college level first.

[Walt]

Unions are political, dumbass.

LMAO!!!

I agree with the DeSantis actions concerning changing the way schools performance is monitored. It is not about politics. It is about the way school performance is monitored.

YOU want to make it about politics.

A lot do. That's why colleges have remedial training programs. Community college is college, dumbass. They have remedial training programs too for the same reason. Employers have to retrain high school graduates enough basic arithmetic to run a till. It's sad. These poor saps can't even make change.

Into the Might trolling again.

It is a political decision made by a politician to alter the way charter schools are compared to public schools. DeSantis supports charter schools, even though they have on average failed badly. This is an attempt to cover that up.

If you think it is not about politics, ask the moderator to move the thread to a non-political section.

Algebra would not be considered a college level course. Community college often educates people up to a college level, because they do not have a reasonable high school education. They will even get you a GED. This does not make GED's a college level education.

The thread is not about charter schools either. Apparently have have no ability to follow a conversation. Demonstrated once again.

A community college is a COLLEGE, dumbass. Universities also have to have remedial courses because kids graduate schools while they are still illiterate.

My point. Kids are not graduating high school with any knowledge of algebra, or even basic arithmetic in many cases.

because they do not have a reasonable high school education.

My point. Thank you for agreeing with me.

You are not going to get college credits for taking a course on Algebra. No one cares where you took the course.

Apparently you don't remember what I said about REMEDIAL courses, necessary because the high schools failed.

There is no such thing as "remedial courses" in college. I think you are thinking of high school.

There are catching up courses, that are not taught for college credit. The idea is to get the students to a place where they can start taking real college courses.
