Those college students who don't know remedial middle school math -- nearly half went all the way up to calculus or precalculus in high school, and a quarter of them got perfect 4.0 GPAs in their high school math courses.
Justin Skycak@justinskycak
So let me get this straight: – 1 in 12 incoming UCSD freshmen don’t know middle school math, – and the remedial math course was too advanced, – so UCSD had to create a remedial remedial math course, – and a quarter of the students placing into it had a perfect 4.0 GPA in their high school math courses. That sounds so ridiculous, like something you’d read in The Onion, but it’s unfortunately real. Here are some direct quotes from the UCSD report: “Between 2020 and 2025, the number of students whose math skills fall below high school level increased nearly thirtyfold; moreover, 70% of those students fall below middle school levels, reaching roughly one in twelve members of the entering cohort.” “While Math 2 was designed in 2016 to remediate missing high school math knowledge, now most students had knowledge gaps that went back much further, to middle and even elementary school. To address the large number of underprepared students, the Mathematics Department redesigned Math 2 for Fall 2024 to focus entirely on elementary and middle school Common Core math subjects (grades 1-8), and introduced a new course, Math 3B, so as to cover missing high-school common core math subjects (Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II or Math I, II, III; grades 9-11).” “Few, if any, students who place into Math 2 have successfully completed an engineering degree.” “high school math grades are only very weakly linked to students’ actual math preparation.” “The correlation between the average math grade and the placement result is only around 0.25 on a scale of 0 to 1. In 2024, over 25% of the students in Math 2 had a math grade average of 4.0.” “In fact, for more than two decades the Mathematics Department has found that out of all available student data, the single best predictor for math placement has been the SAT (math section) score, with the ACT score being an equally good predictor.”

25 Things to Do in 2026 That Are Good for Your Mental Health
1. Protect your sleep like it matters because it does
Go to bed earlier more often than you think you need.
2. Move your body gently and consistently
Walks, stretching, yoga, dancing — movement counts even when it’s not intense.
3. Spend time outside every day
Sunlight and nature calm the nervous system and improve mood regulation.
4. Lower your daily expectations on purpose
Fewer goals, more follow through, less shame.
5. Talk to yourself the way you would to someone you love
The brain listens to tone more than words.
6. Take breaks before you’re burned out
Rest is preventative care, not a reward.
7. Limit doom scrolling and panic fueling content
Your brain is not designed for constant threat updates.
8. Name what you’re feeling instead of judging it
Labeling emotions helps the brain regulate them.
9. Ask for help earlier than you usually do
Waiting until crisis makes everything harder.
10. Create one small daily ritual you look forward to
Coffee, tea, music, quiet — predictability brings safety.
11. Let yourself be good enough more often
Perfection is exhausting and unnecessary.
12. Spend time with people who feel safe, not just familiar
Safety heals more than history.
13. Move your phone away during conversations
Presence strengthens connection and reduces anxiety.
14. Practice saying no without over explaining
Boundaries reduce resentment and emotional overload.
15. Schedule joy the same way you schedule work
Fun is not optional for mental health.
16. Notice your body before reacting emotionally
Pausing gives your thinking brain time to come back online.
17. Create a short list of things that calm you when overwhelmed
Do not rely on memory when stress is high.
18. Laugh on purpose
Laughter is powerful nervous system medicine.
19. Let some things go unresolved
Closure is helpful but not always necessary.
20. Check in with yourself daily, not just when things go wrong
Awareness prevents emotional buildup.
21. Reduce multitasking
Single tasking lowers stress and improves focus.
22. Move toward support instead of isolation when struggling
Withdrawal often worsens emotional pain.
23. Practice self compassion when you mess up
Shame shuts the brain down, compassion keeps it open.
24. Spend less time proving yourself
Your worth is not earned through exhaustion.
25. Remember healing is not linear and that is okay
Progress includes setbacks, pauses, and rest.
Happy New Year!
