Back in 2000 I was in college - an IST and Electrical Engineering majors. I also volunteered as a tutor (part-time) in my Algebra classes. There were ' a lot ' of kids fresh out of high-school, and who had a couple years of algebra behind them, that were so far behind. In fact, some of them had to drop the courses and take a math refresher course - what an extra $1000 they were putting out for this additional class. This class brought them from the sixth grade math to the twelfth grade - then they had to take pre-algebra, another $1000, before returning to College Algebra I. I'm not sure if the actual college assessment test was a true measure of their ability. Seems like it wasn't to me. Today, I can only imagine how much worse this problem has become. |
