My current institution's nursing school has a set text called "Calculate with Confidence", which teaches the kids to calculate concentrations, unit conversions, measurement uncertainty and similar things. Someone might say that these are essential skills in nursing, and they are, but the incoming students are supposed to have learned these things from their college science courses, from their degree that got them admitted into nursing school. Yet here it is again because all previous education didn't take.
60 % of incoming students at my institution must take remedial math, up from 50 % a few years ago.
That's community college. If you think that's cynical or exaggerated you are insufficiently cynical.
