"When a placement system is equitable, Black and Hispanic students place and enroll
in transfer-level math at the same rate as other groups"
No assumptions here, right? Because our K-12 schools get everybody to their potential and they're equitable, right?
THis is the rationale behind "get RID OF remedial math in college." You folks that got through without the basics -- it's TOO LATE for you.
@geonz My experience teaching physics at a university was that even the subset of students coming into a general physics class had radically different math skills. Dealing with those discrepancies was probably one of the biggest challenges. And in my experience students who had less preparation then reached the conclusion that they were "bad at math", because they were struggling relative to those whose schools had better prepared them.
