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.
Solving for X is easy. X is always DMX, because X is gonna give it to you. Though I will agree solving for X has become a lot harder since DMX passed away.
At my college you could basically tell your teacher you're depressed and get a passing grade regardless of your work.
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!
Cheating is against the rules and you shouldn’t do it
Only after I can afford to get away with it
