Every high school I have taught at or attended teaches calculus. If a student hasn't completed calculus by college, he or she chose not to. No, that's not correct. Calculus is not offered in high schools as a general course, it is an advanced placement course, completed by very small percentage of students. Oh now you make the distinction between a general course and advanced placement. Why don't you just admit you were exaggerating to make your point. Maybe not in In Europe, it is a requirement for graduation in most high schools. Colleges offer a whole bunch of remedial courses for students not ready to start Calculus. So you have students admitted to colleges, who are not yet ready to study what in the rest of the world is high school math. So? I didn't take calculus in high school nor college. It was not required. Are you suggesting someone majoring in English Lit. should take calculus? If so why?
