"I teach mathematics at UC Berkeley. Three days a week, I stand in front of lecture halls with 500 to 1,400 students. By the second week of the semester, I already know who is in trouble. Some students are five to eight years behind in mathematics. Office hours that should be spent discussing integrals instead become lessons on fractions and basic algebra you would expect students to learn in middle school." sfstandard.com/opinion/2026/…
Opinion: I teach calculus at Berkeley. Some of my students can’t do middle school math

Since the University of California abandoned the SAT and ACT, thousands of faculty say it’s admitting students who aren’t prepared for the coursework. Will UC listen?

Unbelievable. This place is the best because we attract the best. There is NO other reason. And the best are simply not going to put up with this kind of bullshit.

Replying to @RBousso
@RBousso: Facts are "at the core of our profession" and also of democracy. Physicists should stand up for truth. #apsapril
