    I am an educator and I regret to inform you that it absolutely 100% does. I routinely encounter calculus students who do not know how to solve for x.

    Grade inflation in higher ed is also a serious issue. It was a growing problem when I was in college 15 years ago, and it doesn’t sound like it has gotten better since.

      Solving for X is easy. X is always DMX, because X is gonna give it to you. Though I will agree solving for X has become a lot harder since DMX passed away.

      At my college you could basically tell your teacher you’re depressed and get a passing grade regardless of your work.
