That's one that you can't lay on the government -- the best school in
the country won't make a bit of difference if the students don't want
to learn, and if their environment (family, peer group, neighborhood)
doesn't value education, it's not likely that the kid will learn
anything anywhere.

Not in the state schools down here - they don't stand
a chance of being accepted. Where you see the serious
remedial stuff is at the community college level,
mainly because in Florida, if you graduate from a
community college with a 3.0 or better, four year

While this dates me a bit, I chose to go into
automotive trade school after a wasted (truly wasted!)
year of college at IU/Bloomington. It took a year of
partying and not making grades to convince my parents
that I was *not* college material at the time, despite
my constant efforts to tell them as
