I agree strongly with Gideon Weinstein that a college must accept
only the students that it can serve; and it must serve the students
that it accepts. I really feel sorry for the students that apply to the
school where Lou Talman works. If they can get accepted, but
can not do the expected math level, they are screwed.

I guess that is why I feel privileged to teach at a community
college where we can offer 6th grade arithmetic to re-start our
students with needs, on their journey of academic success.

Life is a tragedy for those who feel
