The story blames this on Facebook, MP3 players and a lack of Grade 13.
Well, I started my B Sc in Applied Math in slide rule days and back then about half the kids who started first year dropped it and lots failed.
This wasn't because of, say, too much Six Million Dollar Man. It was because math was, and is, damn hard.
Facebook has nothing to do with it.

I agree with you. University has key credit courses usually in first year that are designed to fail 40 % of the class.
I think the bigger problem is the drop-out rate in high schools.
good point!
