<p>I am a 34 year old single mom who is a current community college student (now called state colleges in Florida), and I, for one, am thankful for remedial classes and second chances. I can’t even imagine being told that I could not further my education and get my son and myself out of poverty because I’m behind in math. My high school only required 3 math credits for graduation, and they could be any math. My highest math in HS was pre-algebra. That has changed now and I believe they require 3 credits, Algebra I and above.</p>
