As I mentioned to David, the NY Times has a story about community
college kids needing to learn Algebra, and I have already spoken to
several community college folks at math/education shows a coupel of
years ago who said the same. Basically it's kids getting seriously
belatedly about getting schooled up and they have to make up what they
forgot or never learned from high school.

The mainstream student is an eighth or ninth grader. eg, California
recently and controversially mandated Algebra for eighth graders, not
that they have the resources to make that happen.

On the low end, I imagine gifted kids in elementary school doing quite
well in Algebra.

On an even older end, a guy down at my bar said there would be a good
market amongst folks taking police/fire exams.
