Well, yeah, what's so shocking here? A nigger at the top of its class is still a nigger.
“Marqell McClendon has struggled in the low-level math class she’s taking during her first semester at Michigan State University,” Chalkbeat reported Nov. 15.
McClendon, the valedictorian of her graduating class at Detroit’s Cody High School, was used to getting all A’s, but found herself asking strangers to help her with her college coursework, according to the progressive news site.
But nearly half of graduates from Detroit’s main school district must take remedial courses when they get to college, Chalkbeat reported.
In 2016, Michigan State removed the requirement that all students at least take algebra in either college or high school. Algebra is taught in eighth grade in many schools.
Meanwhile, Wayne State University in Detroit dropped its general-education math requirement altogether.
Bob Murphy, the director or university relations and policy for the Michigan Association of State Universities, told Inside Higher Ed that not requiring math will ideally “lead to more successful graduation outcomes.”
Students who don’t want to take algebra can instead take “MTH 101 Quantitative Literacy I and MTH 102 Quantitative Literacy II.” The course website for Michigan State’s Math 101 discusses topics such as “Side-by-Side and Stacked Bar Graphs” and “percent change.”
McClendon, who could not be reached for comment, said she is majoring in biomedical laboratory science, which requires her to pass classes such as calculus, organic chemistry and advanced clinical chemistry. It will take her five years to complete the four-year program.
“Sometimes when I’m in class and I’m learning, some things start to feel familiar from high school and I’m kind of like, ‘I learned this already but I don’t really understand it,’” she told Chalkbeat.
The juxtaposition of her performance in high school and college suggests that GPAs are flawed when comparing college applicants from different high schools. The average SAT score at her high school was about 800 out of 1600.
“These tests are incredibly sensitive to socioeconomic status and race and have nothing to say about the individual,” said Alisa Hartz, an attorney with the group Public Counsel.
I went to no-name suburban schools. I had an extremely high GPA, without that stupid "weighting" BS, and by graduation I had a lot of general college ed out of the way from AP classes and CLEP, thanks to encouraging teachers (can I mention every last one of them was white?). I didn't have a tutor for the SAT, yet I did well enough to brag about it, and needless to say it was light years beyond any of those niggers.
Don't the niggers in this stock photo look like future Nobel medicine laureates?
