| #16 Yea, well, Tryvon Martin got BA without math If I recall correctly, he was dead before he registered, so math was not the only required skill he lacked. |

| #14 Ebonics issues go beyond English. I recently had a co-worker get all upset because the boss said "90 seconds" in a meeting regarding a corporate directive, and she jumped up and down swearing it was 1.5 minutes, not 90 seconds. "X(her name) don't do no math", she said, after it was explained to her. Yeah, refers to herself in the 3rd person, just to make it more interesting. It's not a culture that will take over the world anytime soon, but they have won a few cities! |

| #12 NW, I've worked with a number of people with rather dicey English skills (to be fair, my Chinese is infinitely worse than their English), but if they don't have the math chops they don't get in the door. Some places in the University haven't succumbed yet. |

| #11 Math and English is not required to excel at your University Socialist Indoctrination Camps anymore. That would conflict undocumented non-English speaking entitlement dreamer Dem voters speaking safe spaces from Ice Retainers. |

| #10 Not just Baltimore. A friend's daughter in Atlanta wants to move from a charter school to an inner-city school because the benefits are better. Must have hazardous duty pay or something. |

| #3 Zero is the highest; correct? To be honest this score really only reflects one thing: administrators were prevented from cheating with on the exam this year |
