      Algebra is the most failed course at community colleges across the country. Is it time to nix the requirement?http://n.pr/2vCphok

      . Absolutely not! Of all the advanced math courses, that's the one with the most practical application on a day-to-day basis.

      It says COLLEGE. Most of the algebra you "use daily" you learned in HS.

      False. Not every person is the same. We all aren't proficient at the same things.

      as far as I'm aware (I tested out) the classes are materially similar and college algebra is generally remedial

      Well, I would argue that I am a prime example. To assume that everyone has the same capacity to learn and comprehend the same things

      not saying everyone has the same capacity, saying those skills more often directly than inversely correlated

          I wouldn't say I "can't" do math. I'm just not very good at advanced math or algebra. Basic stuff, I'm fine with.

          it's a skill/mode of thinking that has to be acquired like any other, not a natural predisposition

          required to take precalc or "math for liberal arts" and the thought of the latter offended my sensibilities
