That's an interesting point. There are tens of thousands of students in the US struggling to pass College Algebra to meet a basic Math requirement. Most of them will never use those concepts again. But the will retain a basic resentment against Math and very likely pass it along to their children.
Is this a waste of valuable human resources?
