If you thought “kids who can’t read good” was a joke, welcome to reality: top universities are admitting freshmen who can’t do basic middle-school math. UC San Diego incoming cohorts scored shockingly low on Common Core items — single-digit success for some grade levels — and many placed into remedial classes despite AP math transcripts and A-minuses. This rant peels back the curtain on broken K–12 preparation, dumbed-down admissions, and prestige rankings that reward enrollment over competence. Show me your work — because right now our colleges are letting students graduate without one.
