Demand for classes like Packard’s has surged at Towson, the state’s second-largest public university. Although algebra may seem like an academic relic — think cursive or home economics — it’s required for anyone in college studying business, nursing or computer science, disciplines that can lead to a stable, middle-class life.
Journalist showing she couldn’t pass basic algebra
The Towson University undergrads stared at the quadratic formula projected onto the board. It seemed to be taunting them.
I leaned quadratic equations in fucking middle school. College is a joke, I never had to take a Math class or even English because magically you just have to be literate and have actually learned math before common core made everyone retarded.
Packard said she’s stunned when she encounters students who can’t add simple numbers or compute a percentage.
You mean shitlibs have run education into the ground and gave Dontavius an A despite him not knowing what a ratio is?
This is just more leftist crying about “SES” when there’s no amount of SES to fix the lowest common denominators, over half this country is too retarded to ever be competent and it’s not from a lack of school funding.

Algebra an academic relic? Geometry, sure. Algebra you will need to understand most adult systems. Does this person think that it's some kind of abstract magical entity because it has a tenuous similarity to "abracadabra"?
If you go beyond intro level classes for math, physics, chemistry, or biology, then you're gonna have to become REAL familiar with geometry. Its also important for most any manufacturing, hand manufacturing, or construction enterprise.
So this is a variation of “women most affected”?
I'm not gonna use my time to read past this headline, but it alone sounds more like a particularly retarded "tail wags dog" framing.

When you teach chimps beside children, the chimps don't get any smarter...
And neither do the children. Nobody wins.

It's like saying that learning how to write by hand is a relic because kids can just use a keyboard or a touch screen.
You can't understand how bad things are if you cannot conceptualize what ''per capita'' means.
But I did have breakfast
Algebracadabra.

I wouldn't call it a relic.
That still excludes the vast majority of people, but yes, relic is too strong of a word.
My last college mathematics class was probability and statistics in discrete and continuous timespaces.
Do I capitalize the 'n' in 'nigger' too?
Are you using it as a proper noun, or the begining of a sentence?
is what I read
I think it's saying everyone is too stupid for math, black people are most effected by it
