One of the best days I ever had in college was when I marched into the registrar's office and explained that I wouldn't be taking English 1. They seemed surprised "everybody takes English 1". Does everybody get a perfect score on the Test of Standard Written English? No? Gee maybe those other people should take English 1.
Perfect score on the TSWE, of course now that and $1.50 will get me a cup of coffee. -Curt Date: Sun, 16 Sep 2007 15:58:12 -0400 From: "LarryT" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Transmission toasted: jackleg mechanics To: "Mercedes Discussion List" <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="iso-8859-1"; reply-type=original you wrote about med and law schools :<<don't believe, however, that they will accept un-educated pupils. Quite probably because they don't need to.>> I've heard a very high % of new students entering college must take remedial classes in English and math to do the most basic of things before moving to college level classes. Seems like the % was between 50% and 80% -- can;t recall. This after many colleges have reduced their standards for various reasons over the years. The govt doesn't have a good record for many of the things they do - govt run education is another of the things they do poorly, IMO.
