Have you ever been to a community college? They don't flunk you out. Around here the system is taking hits because to many students are graduating not knowing how to read. The community college is having to teach those skills. The money that was going to pay for other programs now goes there. More high school level classes are being created that don't even give college credit just to get the students up to speed.
Students who can't afford to go to expensive universities strait out of school, but still know how to read, are getting stuck in an over crowded community college system where there are not enough classes for them to take. I have seen people taking a full college load, but none of the classes actually earning them any college hours. > -----Original Message----- > From: Dana Tierney [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2003 3:19 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Re: From the State that Can't Vote > > Since I dont think high stakes testing is a good idea I actually applaud > this.
