I think you are lucky to have a high school diploma if you cannot do basic algebra. I don't think we need to extend this academic leniency to associates degrees in science also. Most classes in community college have been dumbed down so much that anyone can pass them by showing up and doing mediocre on a few multiple choice tests. You can just memorize a few definitions and get through without learning anything.
