“A lot of unqualified people are going to college. Look at how many have to take remedial classes. Why are these students allowed into college if they aren’t really for college-level courses?”

That’s easy - colleges now are being used to actually EDUCATE kids, since the NEA, the feds, and the rest of the left own the public schools, but have, more or less, left junior colleges alone (at least so for).

People still need to be educated, and we don’t seem to have the political will to do that until they’re adults.

It can be done for a fraction of the cost that colleges charge. You can pay a good tutor about 4, 500 dollars over a summer and make up the ground that they need to get in.

And yes - so many who are in university aren’t prepared, aren’t being taught what they need to know. Most professors in college simply don’t have the time to actually teach the students.

I should know, I ran my own tutoring business for about 5 years. Tutored pretty much everything other than foreign languages.
