“We now observe preparation gaps so severe that instructors must reteach middle-school mathematics.”

    I’ve seen people in college taking classes that were more akin to elementary math than even middle school math (generally middle-aged or older people going to school). Of course this being a community college where classes are far more affordable. I feel like there were occasionally people there who possibly could have benefited from starting one class lower. They eventually could get through the work, but that required several hours a day of getting extra help outside of class during a normal semester.
