    They didn’t remove math lol

    You don’t pass classes if you don’t pass tests

    Don’t even think about saying some dumb shit like “they pass them anyway” because that doesn’t actually happen

      I am an educator and I regret to inform you that it absolutely 100% does. I routinely encounter calculus students who do not know how to solve for x.

      Grade inflation in higher ed is also a serious issue. It was a growing problem when I was in college 15 years ago, and it doesn’t sound like it has gotten better since.

      Ah yes because, as we all know, you MUST pass classes in order to participate in society. And clearly no one can ever possibly cheat because it’s against the rules. Problem solved!
